Hi,

We are a family of 4 and are busy getting our TRA stuff put together to
send to an agent. We are applying on my husband's trade as an
electrician 136 skilled visa. :)

We are just about ready to send the TRA off, but have just had an e-mail
from an Australian company who have said they can get us a sponsor into
WA, we havent looked into sponsorship at all and don't really know what
it is about. :confused:

My question is should we just carry on as we are via an agent or should
we just let this company get a sponsor for us, do we have to pay for
sponsorship?

Sorry if it's a bit of a dumb question but we just don't know anything
about sponsorships. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi Mousy,

First step is to read Booklet 5 on the www.immi.gov.au website.

Ask your agent about this, however if the company is offering you a PR
sponsorship, and you're happy with the job, then you can go with that,
since it's going to be cheaper and quicker and as long as you make a
genuine effort to stay with the employer, you can't be tied to them for
any period. However for PR you'd need your TRA assessment anyway.

Cheers,

George Lombard
