You need to apply for citizenship within that country, which can take several years. You can become a "naturalized" citizen of a country. In most cases, you have to live and work in the foreign country for approximately 5 years. The amount of time it will take to become a citizen is contingent on the country and their nationality law. I've attached some articles that can give you more information on the countries you're asking about. Read under the title "Registration and Naturalization"

For a start you need a residence permit to live in France. Students visa don't count towards getting citizenship. To get French citizenship you need to be living there at least five years and have to do a French language test. You also have to do a Swedish citizenship test, plus be living there five years before applying for citizenship.

This applies if you are from country whose citizens require a visa to visit Sweden: To be able to apply for a Swedish citizenship you must be living in Sweden on a permanent residence permit since at least five years. This time can be shorter for some people like refugees and spouses of Swedish citizens. If you are admitted to a Swedish university you may be granted a temporary residence permit, which will allow you to work, but will not count towards the five year minimum. For almost all university courses documented knowledge of Swedish or English is mandatory, in many cases both languages. If the Migration Board believes that you might be seeking a student visa just to be able to move to Sweden you will probably be denied entry. If you find a job, especially in a profession with a shortage of skilled labour you do have a reasonable chance of remaining in Sweden and eventually get a permanent residence permit, but there are no guarantees.

when you say ONE english test, what test is it? Australia will only accept IELTS. If you are on a student visa your time spent in that country does NOT count towards residency or citizenship. You must get legal residency status first before you can be eligible for citizenship. And to be eligible for citizenship you MUST LIVE and WORK there for 5 years as a legal resident.
