Residence From Work Resident

There is a special pathway you can use to get a resident visa, which would not involve a Skilled Migrant visa application. This special plan is called Work to Residence and Residence from work. It allows you to ‘convert’ your work visa into residence within 24 months if you hold a special visa designed for that. Residence from work is a good workaround for those who would not qualify under a Skilled Migrant Category or can not score enough points.
