Your Legal Pathway in Australia, Canada, New Zealand & Denmark
Landing a temporary work visa is the first major step toward living and working abroad — but for many professionals, the ultimate goal is permanent residency (PR).
At TM Acquisition, we help skilled workers and employer-sponsored professionals transition smoothly from temporary status to PR across Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Denmark.
Here’s how it works, country by country:
🇦🇺 Australia – From TSS 482 to Permanent Residency
Pathways:
-
Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (after 2 years with the same employer)
-
Subclass 189 or 190 Skilled Migration (if eligible via points system)
Requirements:
-
2–3 years of full-time skilled work experience in Australia
-
English language proficiency
-
Skills assessment (if not already done)
-
Employer sponsorship (for Subclass 186)
Legal Tip: Not all TSS visa holders are eligible. Your occupation must be on the Medium-Term Skilled List to access PR pathways.
