How did you guys go after accepting new job offer? Is it fine to accept a new job while you are still under 2 years with after 186 Visa nomination/approval

5 months, wow. It will be interesting to see if anyone else gets anything approaching that short timeline in the coming weeks, but definite congrats!

When I filed my application about a month ago I didn't even bother getting medicals or Police clearances, as the 75% "processed by" timline was 15 months and I was sure they'd expire. Might have to rethink that if we see more of the above.

I would suggest providing your all documentation, even I was suggested to wait for few months to provide PCC and medical as it expires. But I  listened to my intuition and submitted all the documentation and it worked for me.

Unless this a wind up (it isn't April fools yet) - Software Engineer is at least on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), this could indeed speed things up. 

Was this the first PR application in your company?

Congrats anyway, lucky guy! 

It wasn't 1st for sure, I work for big consultancy and they apply for good number of PR's every year. Not sure how scene has changed after ASF came into picture though.
Thanks, I indeed feel lucky!

I am not sure if I got lucky or what, here is a screenshot

I got my Permanent Residency granted today.

It's bit overwhelming as I wasn't expecting outcome so soon as I've been estimating timelines according to conversations in this forum, surprisingly I got mine with in 5 months.

I am hoping timelines are improving, so good luck everyone!
