Australia has announced a major immigration opportunity for skilled professionals by expanding access to the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa Subclass 186, enabling eligible Pakistanis to live and work permanently in the country.

The ENS Visa 186 allows foreign nationals nominated by approved Australian employers to secure permanent residency, addressing critical workforce shortages across key sectors. The visa is part of Australia’s broader migration strategy to strengthen industries facing talent gaps.

According to immigration authorities, the visa targets skilled workers in healthcare, engineering, information technology, construction, and technical trades, sectors currently experiencing high demand across Australia.

Successful applicants gain full permanent resident status, granting access to Australia’s public healthcare system, quality education for dependents, social security benefits, and long-term career growth opportunities. Visa holders can work without restrictions for their sponsoring employer while enjoying stability and settlement rights.

To qualify, applicants must demonstrate relevant professional experience, meet English language proficiency requirements, satisfy health and character standards, and secure a nomination from an approved Australian employer. Officials say the program offers Pakistani professionals a realistic and secure pathway to building a prosperous future in Australia.

Interested candidates are advised to consult the Australian Department of Home Affairs website for official guidelines, eligibility details, and application procedures.
