Transfer of Sponsorship

Is there a new law regarding transfer of sponsorship? I stayed with my company for less than two years, is it possible to change if I haven't stayed for two years with a sponsor?

What is the verdict on this subject? It seems everyone has a different opinion/experience on this and no clear indication from the law side.

Anyone who can shed some true light on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I've heard that some companies were not able to transfer sponsorship of new hires, and they were told it's been effective since Feb 09. Now, Im thinking there has to be other options. The bottom line is that my sponsorship must be transferred. I just have to figure out how can that be done.

Debeers, For the last month or more our company hasn't been able to transfer anyone who doesn't have at least 24 months with their current sponsor. It used to be only 12 months, until they passed the new sponsorship law.

Yes as long as you stay for more than one year you can transfer to any sponsor as long as you have NOC - release. Good luck
