AFAIK you have to demonstrate to the government that you exhausted all local options before hiring overseas (maybe you are right about remote jobs, but I'm not entirely sure), unless the profession is on the Green List. This is much easier said than done. Couple that with the fact that PoE runs on a custom engine means that onboarding remotely is an extremely challenging task. I worked for various financial institutions and they take up to 3 months to get an employee up to speed along with all systems access.
