UK IMG moving to Australia

[EmRBee]

Hello! I'm an IMG planning to take plab and do the fy1. I then plan on moving to Australia through the competent authority pathway. I want to pursue a surgery residency but it's only available to PR and citizens. Is it possible that the hospital I do my supervision (i.e. before getting the general registration) year in would sponsor me for a PR status? Or do I have to get my general registration first?
Also, if I do my core surgical training in UK can I apply for a PR as a surgeon( general) and take advance training in Australia?

I would really appreciate some light being shed on this matter. Thank you!
