Yes, high-paying skilled jobs can help Indians apply for permanent residency (PR) in Australia. Skilled visas like the Skilled Independent (subclass 189) or Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) allow workers to transition from temporary employment to PR. Eligibility depends on age, English proficiency, education, work experience, and occupation demand. High salaries and employer sponsorship improve points and increase the likelihood of successfully obtaining permanent residency through Australia’s skilled migration system.
