SMS, I have read the OP and SE's post and my reply is an expansion of that. The comment on DP is on the assumption that they will get married.

What is her degree in ? You should look at the job vacancies posted on local company and MNC websites.

There are no NS obligations for a non-PR/non-citizen male person. A child of a PR is not given an automatic PR, it has to be applied for.
