More than 10,000 student visas were canceled by the Department of
Immigration and Citizenship in Australia in the last year because they
did not satisfy the conditions according to which they were issued,
authorities said.
The cancellations in 2011-2012 were due to various reasons, mainly to
the fact that the students that were issued a visa card, could not meet
the requirements of their studies, while many of them were not taking
the courses they were supposed to be studying.
Other student visa cards were cancelled due to false information
regarding the attitude and character of foreign students, officials
said. There were some 461,447 foreign students in the country as of
August, about 7.6 percent less than the previous year.
