Permanent Residency Assistance Program (PRAP)

As a successful business consulting company with experience in the Migration Industry, BzMark is well connected to the wider business market in Australia and also understands the needs of potential employers and the requirements of migrants wishing to gain employment and reside in Australia.

BzMark has an extensive background and over a decade of practical experience in assisting migrants create and operate successful businesses in Australia. Our team is qualified to offer these services with key members of BzMark holding degrees in business, economics, accounting and marketing; via our associates we are also able to cover areas such as law.

BzMark has also successfully assisted local businesses to fill general skilled and senior management positions that are experiencing shortages in Australia. Each year a large number of migrants are granted permanent residency in Australia through local business sponsorships.

The BzMark Permanent Residency Assistance Program is designed to assist an experienced overseas business client in owning and running a successful Australian business. The business will allow our client to lodge a 186 (city) or 187 (regional) permanent residency visa.

These visas are employer sponsored permanent residency visas. This means that an employer in most cases is an Australian registered company.

Each application to participate in this program is addressed individually by the BzMark team and includes an assessment of suitability of the client as well as a customised program for each case.
