The Story of Yakendra Adhikari
Behind every successful migration journey is a person who needed clarity at the right time. For many students and families in Canberra, that person is Yakendra Adhikari.
As Manager, Corporate Office at Right & Associates Canberra and a Registered Migration Agent, Yakendra works with students, graduates, skilled professionals and families who are trying to make one of the biggest decisions of their lives: how to study, work, settle and build a future in Australia.
His work is not only about preparing visa documents. It is about listening to a student's story, understanding their background, reviewing their study and work pathway, and helping them make informed decisions. Many students arrive in Australia with ambition but confusion. They hear different advice from friends, social media and unqualified sources. Yakendra's role is to bring structure, honesty and practical direction to that journey.
Yakendra Adhikari represents the kind of migration guidance students need: professional, practical, community-aware and focused on long-term success.
Why Students Trust Yakendra Adhikari in Canberra
Canberra is a unique city for international students. It offers education opportunities, professional pathways, government-sector exposure, community connections and possible ACT nomination opportunities. But students need the right strategy from the beginning.
Yakendra helps clients look beyond one visa application. He helps them understand how their course, English score, work experience, skills assessment, employer sponsorship and long-term PR goals may connect together.

Supporting Nepali, Indian, Bhutanese and International Students
Yakendra works with students and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Nepali, Indian, Bhutanese and wider international communities. Each community has its own challenges, documentation patterns, education goals and family expectations.
For Nepali students, migration planning often involves course selection, skills assessment, ACT Matrix, employer sponsorship and PR pathway strategy. For Indian students, the focus may include skilled occupation planning, postgraduate options, employer pathways and family settlement. For Bhutanese students, the pathway may involve student visa planning, graduate options, 482 employer sponsorship and long-term career development.

Helping Students Secure Their Dreams Through Career Pathway Planning
Many students come to Australia with a dream: to gain a world-class education, build a career, support their family and create a secure future. But dreams need planning. A wrong course, weak documentation, late skills assessment or poor visa timing can make the journey difficult.
Yakendra helps students understand the full pathway, not just the next visa. This includes study choices, skills assessment requirements, job relevance, English score strategy, employer sponsorship options and permanent residency planning.
A student pathway may include:
Choosing the right course: Understanding whether study aligns with future occupation goals.
Maintaining visa compliance: Knowing study, work and documentation obligations.
Building relevant experience: Working toward jobs that may support future skills assessment or sponsorship.
Preparing for English tests: Improving PTE or IELTS scores early.
Planning skills assessment: Understanding evidence before graduation.
Comparing visa pathways: Reviewing 190, 491, 482, 186 and other options.
Creating a realistic PR roadmap: Building a plan based on facts, not rumours.
The best migration plan is not always the fastest plan. It is the plan that is realistic, documented and suitable for the student's long-term goal.
Skills Assessment and PR Strategy Guidance
Skills assessment is one of the most important steps for many skilled migration pathways. It can determine whether a student or skilled worker is able to proceed toward 189, 190, 491 or other migration options.
Yakendra helps clients understand which occupation may fit their qualification and experience, what evidence may be required and how early planning can reduce mistakes.

ACS
Relevant for ICT, software, networking, cybersecurity and technology professionals.

Early skills assessment planning helps students avoid wrong occupation selection, incomplete employment evidence and unnecessary delays.

Employer sponsorship can be an important pathway for students and graduates who secure a genuine skilled role with an Australian employer. For many clients, 482 and 186 visa options may form part of a long-term PR strategy.

Why Canberra Students Need Local Migration Guidance
