Dear razayousfani
Difficulties mainly arise due to legal status and financial requirements. Still, both of your posts lack important information such as how would you and your spouse be able to work legally with foreign student status? In first post, you said after 2 years of study they will give you permanent resident status, and in second post you mention that your spouse is elligible for full time work. I am assuming she already has some sort of legal status there, so she is elligible to work full time. But in that case, as far as I know, you should have the same legal status after applying for that, and you don't need 2 years of studies for permanent resident status then.
Or you wanna say that they allow part time work to foreign students, and full time work to spouses of foreign students? Usually, this is not the case. Or at-least I am not aware of.
However, in any case, if you and your spouse are legally allowed to work during studies, then you may afford. But again it depends whether you are paying international students fees or local students fees, and also how many credit hours of courses you are picking up. Masters level of studies with full load of studies and work may be difficult to manage.
CPA Australia has a sort of reciprocity arrangement with CPA (USA), so in long run, you may apply for CPA(USA) too.
I hope it helps.
Regards
