An interested person can obtain Australia PR through the 457 visa route. There are four pathways which the immigrants can use to obtain Permanent Residence status in Australia based on their situations:
Temporary Transition Stream Sponsored by Employer
Immigrants on 457 visas in Australia having worked with the same employer for a period of two years are eligible for this pathway to get the Australia PR. The employer needs to agree to sponsor the applicant for the Australia PR. It is mandatory for the employer to submit a valid nomination to the Immigration authorities. You also need to meet the skills required, qualifications of the job and sufficient English language requirements for the position.
Direct Entry Stream Sponsored by Employer
Immigrants with 457 visas who have not completed two years of residence in Australia are eligible for this PR pathway. The candidates who have changed employers during their stay in Australia are also eligible here. They must have an employer willing to nominate them to get Australian Permanent Residence. The temporary residents who fail to qualify for the Temporary Residence Transition stream can avail it
General Skilled Immigration – 189, 190, 489
Migrants with 457 visas who presently do not have an employer agreeing to sponsor them to get PR are eligible here. It has the visa subclasses of 189, 190, and 489. In this stream, the candidates can submit their applications independently, or also with a sponsor from the Territory/ State government.
