Hypothetical scenario: A company sponsors your Permanent Resident visa, but you decide to change jobs before completing two years. What are your options? Do you have to pay any penalties? Can your visa be revoked? Should the new company pay back for the visa? I’m trying to understand how these contracts are normally structured

First up this example was ~2011. I was sponsored for a temporary visa (457 at the time). The company then sponsored a permanent visa (856 at the time).

The deal was the company pays for everything and I had to stay with them for 3 years (may have been 2 years) else I pay back a pro-rata portion of the costs.

Once I received the visa, I left the company a few months later. I paid back the pro rata portion and kept the visa.

Things you will need to check : contract with your work and conditions of the visa.

This is very helpful, thank you!

Your visa wont be revoked - once you get your PR it's unconditional. Remember to request for your new employer to pay off the clawback. I have ex-collagues who had done just that and it's worth asking.
