yes you can definitely get yourself sponsored for a 186 visa, whis is always best dahil PR visa na yun, but please do your due diligence for this one, need to get your previous boss to do all the neccessary works to make it happen, of course with your help, submitting all the documents they will need to get you sponsored
i would imagine you will need to get your sponsorship transferred, and normally, just my 2cents, it is better to get it done with a registered migration agent, para hindi ka po malito, people can definitely DIY, but with how AU time/sched/balance is, medyo mahirap to DIY (just talking from my experience), unless you have the patience to research all the neccessary details to make it happen...
all the best po!
God Bless!

Hello po, asking for a friend..
Ano po mga pwedeng applyan na agency para makapagwork sa AU?
Electrician ang friend ko with decades of experience sa barko.
Mid-50s na sya kaya ok lang kahit wala ng PR pathway. Gusto lang talaga makapagwork na onshore sa AU.
Salamat po!

Hello, sana may mkapansin, ambigat ng pinag dadaanan ko ngaun. Inisponsoran ako ng company nmin at nag lodge nmn ung agent nmin walang tanong2 sken hindi man lng nagtanong kung meron b s family memeber ko n may health conditions n alanganin. Ngaun nag lodge ung agent ng 186 DE which is walang waiver. Hira n hirap nako kakaisip kung pwede bang mngyare ung gusto ni agent..😔 since wala daw waiver pwede daw tanggalin ung anak ko s application at palalabasin na hindi ko n sya family member bsta maipakita s immigration na may kukupkop sa anak ko. May asd kasi ang anak ko. Kung may waiver sana pwedeng ilaban. Kaso nga walang waiver ung 186 DE. Ang sken nmn pwede ko nmn tanggapin ung gnung plano nya pra pa isave lng ung application nmin apat kasi kmi s application. So kung tatanggalin ung bunso ko mgiging 3 nlng ung maiiwan. Sabi ko sa agent nmin pra malabo yan, sabi nya pwede daw kasi lalabas n hindi ko n sya family member nun. Hayyyy buhay akala ko tlga may waiver ung nilodge nila sken, ngaun prang damage control ung ginagawa nila.

May code of conduct po ang mga agent , looks dubious naman yung proposal nya , you may dodge the bullet now ,but may have consequences later on.
I suggest you run through other options besides the pathway na inapply sayo and get a second opinion from other MARA agents.

Kaya nga nkakainis, ni hindi man lng inexplain ung visa n ilalodge nya o kaya man lng nag tanong muna. Ako tuloyvang naiipit ngaun. Kung iwiwithdraw ko nmn pra akong nag tapon ng 15k pero kung un tlga ang dapat gawin eh wala tlga mgagawa. Ngaun kasi gumagawa sya ng praan pra magawan ng praan ung mga pag kakamali nila.

Parang may mali sa advice ng agent nyo. Hindi naman dahil tinanggal nyo sa application yung anak nyo and iiwan sa mag-aalaga e ibig sabihin di nyo na sya family member. Kailangan nyo pa rin syang ideclare as a non-migrating family member and sa pagkakaalam ko the child will still be subject to a medical exam because alam naman ng immigration na may chance na in the future kunin on a subsequent entrant or child visa ang non-migrating family members. The only way na your child will no longer be a part of your family is if s/he is adopted.
Try to consult another agent. If you don't declare your child, that's fraud naman and pag nalaman yan in the future, mas mabigat ang consequences. Double check as well if your current agent is a MARA agent. You can actually report them for putting you in this situation.

Thank you po s pagreply. Ang sabi po kasi nya gnito daw bale mangyayare.. gagawa kmi ng kasulatan n hindi n nmin sya family member, kumbaga meron ng kukupkop s kanya pero hindi daw palalabasin n adoption. Prang damage control n nga ang ginagawa eh. Umpisa palang dapat tinanong n nila ako kung meron b s family member ang may health problem syempre sasabhin ko agad kasi 2021 p kmi nag papa therapy ng anak ko eh. Walang tanong2 bsta kinuha mga papers nmin at nilodge ng 186DE. ngaun lng ako nalinawan n dapat pala trt pra may waiver. Ang nkakatawa nga eh hindi ung agent ang nkikipag usap sken kundi ung staff nya pala kala ko un n ung agent. Kaya di mawarian kung tama b ung suggestion nya.

Kung hindi naman well versed in family law ang agent nyo, I don't think they're in a position to advise you on how to remove a child from your family. Tsaka migration ang pinag-uusapan, bakit nauwi sa pamimigay ng anak ang discussion.
You can Google this, an Australian visa won't be issued if it's detrimental to a child. I think, at hindi ako migration agent, Immigration will not look kindly at the letter that your agent suggested. It sounds like child abandonment di ba? The child is legally still your child (not adopted out) pero sinasabi sa letter na tinatakwil na sya ng family mo. Ano pa ba yun. Parang lalong hindi maggrant yung visa if it will cause a child to be abandoned.
I strongly suggest you consult a MARA agent or an immigration lawyer at this point.

I was about to say the same thing. Migration at visa ang usapan, tapos napunta sa pamimigay ng anak.
Sobrang unsound and careless nung advice ng agent. Merong certain rules na sinusunod for migrating children, or people in general, with disability or sickness. And it's within the migration agents' capacity and responsibility to provide and communicate that information clearly to their clients. Dapat sila yung mas may alam tungkol dyan.
I strongly agree with the previous comment na mag-consult ka for 2nd opinion with another reputable agent or better yet, with a migration lawyer.
It is already a good start that you detected this as unreasonable, albeit you've already spent money for the visa application. Yung susunod mong actions ang magdedefine ng migration journey nyo given the situation.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!
