One of the world’s top destinations for skilled professionals with clear pathways to permanent residency. Canada actively welcomes foreign workers across healthcare, technology, construction, and more.
- Why Australia
Australia consistently ranks among the best countries in the world for quality of life, safety, and economic opportunity. With one of the strongest job markets for internationally trained professionals, Australia actively welcomes skilled workers under its points-based migration system designed to fast-track qualified candidates into in-demand roles across its growing economy.
From the bustling cities of Sydney and Melbourne to regional hubs in Queensland and Western Australia, employers across every major sector face critical skill shortages. The Australian government responds by maintaining an annual skilled migration programme that invites tens of thousands of workers each year to fill gaps in healthcare, construction, engineering, education, hospitality, and technology.
Visthara works with accredited Australian employers and registered migration agents to match your qualifications to the right visa stream and employer. Whether you are targeting a state-nominated visa, employer-sponsored pathway, or a permanent residency route, we guide you through every step from eligibility assessment to landing.

Visa Categories
Australia offers one of the most structured and transparent skilled migration systems in the world. Whether you have a job offer in hand or are exploring independently-based streams, there is a pathway suited to your profile. Visthara identifies which option maximises your eligibility and timeline.
The Subclass 189 is a points-tested permanent residency visa requiring no employer sponsorship or state nomination. Applicants submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect, and those with the highest points scores receive an invitation to apply. It is one of the most sought-after pathways for qualified professionals with strong English and recognised occupations.
The Subclass 190 is a state or territory-nominated permanent visa that awards an additional 5 points to applicants. Each Australian state and territory maintains its own occupation list and nomination criteria. This pathway is ideal for professionals in occupations that are in demand in a specific region, particularly healthcare, education, and engineering roles.
The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa allows Australian employers to sponsor overseas workers for up to four years in an approved occupation. This is one of the fastest routes to working in Australia and can serve as a stepping stone to permanent residency via the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme.
The ENS visa is a permanent residency visa for skilled workers who are nominated by an approved Australian employer. It can be accessed via a direct entry stream or a transition stream for those already working in Australia on a TSS visa. It is one of the most reliable routes to permanent residency for employer-sponsored workers.
The Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa targets skilled workers willing to live and work in designated regional areas of Australia. It offers a five-year provisional visa with a pathway to permanent residency via the Subclass 191 visa. Regional Australia has acute skill shortages across nursing, agriculture, construction, and hospitality.
The Temporary Graduate visa allows international students who have recently graduated from an Australian institution to live, study, and work in Australia temporarily. The post-study work stream grants 2–6 years depending on the level of qualification and location of study, giving graduates time to gain local experience and transition to a permanent pathway.
Australia is facing significant labour shortages across multiple industries, driven by an ageing population and rapid economic growth. This creates exceptional opportunities for skilled foreign workers to find quality, well-paying employment with a clear route to permanent residency.

Not necessarily. The Subclass 189 and 190 visas do not require a job offer they are points-tested and can be applied for independently. However, employer-sponsored visas (Subclass 482 and 186) do require an approved employer to nominate you. Visthara helps candidates pursue both routes simultaneously to maximise their chances.
Foreign qualifications often need to be formally assessed before they are recognised in Australia. Visthara works with you to understand your specific assessing authority, prepare your skills assessment application, and obtain any additional evidence required. We also advise on bridging programmes or English test requirements where applicable.
