Australia is one of the most desirable countries in Asia when it comes to spending a peaceful life and earning steady income. The country welcomes skilled workers from all across the world to work in Australia. Companies looking for skilled workers outside Australia under TSS visa need to submit labour market testing or LMT report. It works as evidence that the company has put an effort to hire skilled workers from Australia at first and then it is looking for foreign individuals.
Proof for Labour Market Testing or LMT
As a proof, LMT generally involves advertising for the position in Australia for which companies are looking to hire foreign individuals. They have to apply for LMT if they are looking for individuals under short-term stream, long-term stream, medium-term stream or skilled employer sponsored regional stream for the TSS visa. As a sponsor, companies have the power to nominate candidates.
In case, the sponsor has retrenched an Australian candidate from the position for which it is looking for foreign individuals, information about the retrenchment must be provided with the nomination.
