That’s very helpful Marisa, thank you! I’ve expressed my interest in the 189 and 190s, but haven’t received an invitation yet so I’m hoping to have more success with the sponsorship route. Hopefully something will work out soon :).

Hi everyone, thank you for your responses! I’ve been googling but it can be a little confusing. I am in the medical field so I do qualify for exemption, but it’s unclear if most hospitals use the 482 or the 186 visas should they ever sponsor me. I understand they have to do 2 rounds of recruitment prior to considering a non citizen, but I didn’t know if they had to nominate and receive approval that they can sponsor for the position with immigration first or what the next step was. Anyway, thanks again, I appreciate all of your help!

Hello, I hope all of you are well! This is my first post - so please forgive me if this question has been addressed before. I want to know when seeking sponsorship, does the employer nominate the position and obtain approval prior to a job offer so that both are offered at the same time, or is it done after a candidate accepts? I'm trying to calculate reasonable waiting times. I hope that makes sense! Thank you in advance, and happy holidays! -Kim
