Move With Your Own Job Offer

Before we can support you, we need to confirm you, your employer, and your job offer meet the criteria.

You may be eligible for Autonomous Access support if:

✅ You have a formal, signed job offer from an employer in a participating country (e.g., Australia, Canada, UK, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc. ).

✅ The job offer is for a skilled position (typically matching skilled occupation lists for immigration).

✅ You meet the basic eligibility requirements for a work visa in that country (e.g., related experience, qualifications).

✅ You are registered on the TBB Talent Catalog.

What disqualifies you?

❌ The job is in a country where TBB does not currently have a program or visa expertise.

❌ The job offer is not formalized or doesn't qualify for an existing visa pathway.

❌ You have not yet registered with the TBB Talent Catalog.

❌ Your job offer is not for a full-time long-term contract

❌ Your employer is a relative, which can affect our conflict of interest policy.

First Step? If you haven't already, Register for the TBB Talent Catalog – it's your gateway to all our programs.

Essential Document Checklist

Start gathering these documents now. Having them uploaded to your Talent Catalog profile will significantly speed up the process.

• Passport: Valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended travel date.

• Formal Job Offer Letter: Signed by the employer, stating your role, salary, and start date.

• Educational Certificates & Transcripts: Degrees, diplomas, and official academic records.

• Professional Resume/CV: Updated and detailed.

• Reference Letters: From previous employers or clients.

• Proof of Work Experience: Employment contracts, pay slips, or tax documents.

• Language Test Results: (If available) such as IELTS or PTE for English-speaking countries.

• Professional Licenses/Certifications: (If applicable) for regulated professions.

Understanding the Visa Process

Every country's process is different, but the general journey looks like this:

1. Visa Identification: TBB will help you and your employer identify the correct work visa subclass for your situation (e.g., Australia's Skilled Refugee Labour Agreement Pilot, Canada's EMPP, UK's Skilled Worker Visa).

2. Sponsorship & Nomination: Your employer will likely need to become an approved sponsor and nominate you for the position. TBB can provide them with guidance.

3. Visa Application: You will complete the main visa application form and submit it with all your supporting documents.

4. Biometrics & Health Checks: You may need to provide biometrics (fingerprints, photo) and undergo a health examination.

5. Visa Grant: Once approved, you will receive your visa grant notice!

Employer Engagement

Your new employer is a key partner in this process. After you receive a job offer, ask them to complete this form to confirm their interest in hiring you. Once they submit it, our team will contact them to schedule a meeting to answer their questions and discuss the next steps. In the meantime, they can visit the employer hub for more information while they await our contact.

Once you pass the eligibility check, our dedicated team provides tailored support:

• Visa Navigation: We demystify the complex visa rules and guide you through each step of the application.

• Document Review: We check your application documents for completeness and accuracy before submission.

• Liaison with Employers: We can communicate directly with your employer to assist them with their sponsorship obligations.

• Pre-Departure Guidance: We provide checklists and advice for your move, including information on accommodation, banking, and cultural orientation.

• Travel Coordination: In many cases, TBB can facilitate and fund your travel to your new country.
