dejani Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi, I have a 482 visa and the employer that sponsored me has unfortunately lost a job contract just before I started my first day and I need to find a new employer who will take over sponsorship or sponsor me. I work with IT as Project Manager. As you all know I have two months to find a new sponsor. And I'm starting to panic. Doesn't mater what state or city, I just want to find a job. Please share your experience and how my chances look like for the moment? All help is highly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderingaloud Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Nobody here can help you find employment. You just need to keep job hunting and hope they’ll take the sponsorship over. Can the company who sponsored you help by suggesting other companies in the same line of work perhaps? Best of luck to you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejani Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Thanks on your answer @Wonderingaloud . I see that I haven't formulated my question in the right way. I was not looking for a job/employment. I wanted to ask for others experience when they have been in the same situation. How does it work? How did it go for them/you? What is the best thing to do? I hope I'm more clear now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I had a lot of friends lose their jobs while on the 457, which was the predecessor of the 482. Most ended up leaving Oz. My advice is, you should start planning that is may well be the case for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 A new employer cannot 'take over' a sponsorship. It might pay you to consult a registered migration agent for advice about possible strategies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 While you may find others who have successfully found a new sponsor after losing their job, it will likely be quite dependent on the occupation as employers may prefer to hire someone who already has unrestricted work rights. IT Project Managers are plentiful in Australia so yours may be a more difficult situation, so consulting a migration agent may be good to help see what options are best for you.
