I am a SPR and My spouse has just got his LTSVP valid for an year(sponsored by myself).
I understand from the MOM site as well as from discussions here, that EPEC facilitates the holder to stay here for some time and look for job. LTSVP (issued based on local contact) also allows to stay for some time.
even as EPEC Holder, EP Approval is not guaranteed. It has to undergo the second level of approval s ubject to the employer's justification of why a foreigner has to be hired.
Is there any other benefits that EPEC has?
like, EPEC holder has priority over other potential candidates (without EPEC) during job hunting?
If no such priorities are possible, then we need not apply EPEC for my husband as this will be wasting both ours and MOM time (mainly) as well?

Thanks in advance
