Answer 1

well your too young for a skilled worker visa,and you don't qualify for spouse visa and you don't have close family to sponsor you so i guess adoption is the only chance,but i don't know if that will work

you need to contact an australian embassy and ask

Answer 2

Don't move to another country at 16 without your parents you are much too young. What happens if you break up with your boyfriend here - you Will have nowhere to go. Stay at home and come to Australia when you are older

Answer 3

This is actually not such a difficult situation if your parents are happy for you to come here (and you won't need to be adopted either).

You can come on a student visa if your parents are prepared to make a statutory declaration and complete and sign a form giving permission for you to stay with your boyfriend's parents.

http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1229...

One of your boyfriend's parents (the nominated person) must give an undertaking to provide accommodation for and be responsible for your support and general welfare during your stay in Australia. The nominated person should be physically present in Australia for the period of your intended stay. Depending on your personal circumstances, the nominated person may be asked to provide an undertaking in writing. I would keep your boyfriend out of the permission and support equations if I were you - DIAC may have problems with accepting his involvement.

You need to have been accepted to study full time at an approved educational institution and of course, as you will not be a citizen or PR, you will need to pay full fees for your tuition and satisfy DIAC that you have sufficient funds for your fees.

Towards the end of your high school education, you will then need to apply for a student visa for your tertiary studies. By the time you've finished them, you should be able qualify for a skilled worker visa though you'll need to ensure that your qualifications are for an occupation on the SOL or MODL.
