Information about Permanent residence visa

Nice — good instincts. Quick correction before we dive in: “Provincial nominee” is a Canadian term. In Australia the closest equivalents are state/territory nomination pathways (e.g., Skilled Nominated subclass 190 or Skilled Work Regional subclass 491, which require nomination by an Australian state/territory). The main points-tested permanent route is the Subclass 189 (no nomination). I’ll give you a step-by-step roadmap for the common skilled-worker routes to Australian permanent residence (189, 190 and the regional pathway 491 → permanent), with exactly what you must do at each stage and authoritative sources cited
