FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my business eligible to sponsor workers?

Eligibility depends on your business operations, financial standing, and the role you’re hiring for. We assess all of this in our free employer call.

Do we need to advertise the position first?

Yes. Labour Market Testing (LMT) is a key requirement for most visa types. We guide you on how to meet this properly with compliant job ads.

How long does the sponsorship process take?

Timelines vary, but we streamline the process to avoid delays. Sponsorship approval may take a few weeks, while visa processing depends on the stream and occupation.

What if I want to sponsor more workers later?

No problem. Once you're an approved sponsor, we can help you process repeat nominations easily and keep your business compliant.
