820 visa and CSP for University

Hello everyone,

Wondering if anyone has gone through or has information on attending university on 820 or 801 visa.

I'll start with my Visa timeline.
Currently on Bridging Visa
Applied 820 February 21 2018
Request for medical and biometrics December 28 2018
Everything sent in by January 28 2019
Automated message for 1 year February 21 2019

Haven't heard anything since.

I was looking into University and am eligible for Commonwealth Support Plan being from Canada, once I am on a permanent residency visa. I guess that would be the 801 visa? 820 probably wouldn't count? also, if it takes 2 years for the 820 visa, do they automatically grant you the 801?

The timing is annoying as my two years would be the same time I would be wanting to go to school.....

If anyone has any insight or maybe had gone through this i'd love to hear your experiences, good or bad.

820 is not permanent residency, so it would not count. You have to hold the 801 to be a permanent resident.

If they don't get around to assessing the 820 until after the eligibility period for the 801 has passed, then yes, it is possible that they'll grant the 801 immediately after the 820.
