Sounds simple? well, it wasn't. We were told that our visa application would be supported after two years of the service. we agreed. then we learned 187 will be discontinued before that. Since then we had a lengthy negotiation & discussion with the employer by providing supportive evidence why we need PR. Finally I was able to persuade them and they decided to support our application 6 months early. After reading posts here, I was getting ready to wait long but few changes in regulation, such as priority processing order, worked well for us.
Wish you all the best
