Ask lang po ng benefits kung na grant ang PR via ENS, makakareceive po ba ng support from Centrelink incase mawalan ako ng work (atleast ang mga kids)? Me waiting period po ba ang support from Centrelink? I'm on contract work here in Sydney and not sure hangang kelan po tatagal ang project namin. Currently 457 visa po ako and planning for PR application via ENS direct stream (kulang na po sa points for Independent 189).
Salamat po.

The following information are just based on the experience of myself and other people I know who have applied through ENS.
PROS
* Work - You will have work when you arrive in Australia. This means you have income to support your financial needs while in Australia.
* Accommodation - Some of the companies will pay for your accommodation for the first month or more. This is to give you time to look for a house to rent.
* Visa Application - Some of the employers will do the visa application for you especially if you are applying from overseas. You just need to submit all the requirements to them.
* Visa Cost - Some of the employers will pay for all the expenses on you visa application. Some might require a bond, for example you have to work for them for a year or more. But it is actually ok because you will have work. And some might ask you to repay the visa cost depending on the agreement.
* Processing time - Faster processing time than Skilled Independent Visa. ENS up to 8 months while Independent could be up to 12months
* SkillSelect - Submission of Expression of Interest is not required presuming that you will have an employer that will sponsor you.
CONS
* Employer – You will have to work for the same company for a year or more. You will obviously have to sign a contract from your employer and they may note there the number of years that you have to work for them before you can transfer to a different company. This is case to case basis but I know some people who have been on this situation.

The employer might ask you to sign another contract and you have to make sure you read carefully and understand it. Or they might just keep you as a permanent employee and it will be up to you if you want to leave.

Thanks for the information here! Nagbabasa-basa ako dito and stumbled upon this topic. Ano po ba yung 186 ENS Visa? In terms of application process, pano siya naiba sa 457? Kailangan din ba na makahanap ako ng employer to sponsor me this visa? Do employers give you the option between 457 and 186 ENS?
Sorry ang dami kong tanong. Nakapunta ako ng Australia for a business trip before and I fell in love with the country kaya desidido talaga akong mag-move diyan. Sana makatulong po kayo.
Salamat!
