cconcept:Hmmm!quite sad.They may have seen upsurge in EOIs that's why they decided to scale up the automatic selection threshold by 20 points.To achieve that point will be a daunting task. Of course,the change in proof of English ability will further complicate things.The cost to sit for any of this test might be astronomically high even many of us are not familiar with this pattern of tests. All the same,people will always overcome all of these strigent requirements.Noting spoil |

I want to suggest you guys focus on places outside Auckland. 30 points could go a long way to push to 160points |

JERRYMAG4: excerpt from LINK "What is happening with evidence of English language and why? What was the situation before? The minimum English language requirement for applicants under the Skilled Migrant Category is an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) overall score of 6.5 across the four language domains (reading, writing, listening and speaking). Prior to the 12 October change, immigration officers could also consider a variety of alternative pieces of evidence of English language ability in place of an IELTS score, including: a recognised qualification where the medium of instruction was English one year of skilled employment in New Zealand other evidence that the applicant is a competent user of English (for example the country in which the applicant resides, the nature of their current or previous employment, whether members of the applicant’s family speak English). In any case, an immigration officer could still require the applicant to provide an IELTS test. What are the changes about who has to do a test? People who are invited to apply from 12 October onwards will not be able to use the same alternative evidence of English language in place of a test as previously. The evidence that can be accepted in place of a test will be limited to: citizenship of Canada, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom or the United States of America provided the applicant has spent at least five years in work or education in one or more of those countries or Australia or New Zealand; or a recognised qualification comparable to a New Zealand level 7 bachelor’s degree and gained in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom or the United States of America as a result of study undertaken for at least two academic years in one or more of those countries; or a recognised qualification comparable to a New Zealand qualification at level 8 or above and gained in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom or the United States of America as a result of study undertaken for at least one academic year in one or more of those countries. People invited to apply before 12 October will not be affected and may still use the alternatives previously in place. They only need to provide what Immigration New Zealand has already requested on the invitation to apply. What are the changes about what kind of tests Immigration New Zealand will accept? From 21 November 2016, Immigration New Zealand will accept a wider range of English language tests. The new tests that INZ will accept are: Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet Based Test (TOEFL iBT) Occupational English Test (OET) Cambridge English: First (FCE) and FCE for Schools Pearson Test of English: Academic (PTE: Academic) Why do the requirements have to change? The new requirements add clarity to the assessment process. Particularly, the new requirements will: Give applicants more clarity at the start of the process about whether an English language test will be needed. Ensure greater consistency in the level of English language of those people approved residence under the Skilled Migrant Category, thereby ensuring all new migrants can settle and fully enjoy their new life in New Zealand as residents. Expand the acceptable English language tests, allowing many more applicants to have their English language assessed more easily. There are a number of English language testing providers other than IELTS, some of which are more commonly used in some parts of the world." My understanding is that what was accepted as alternatives to IELTS would no longer (except in certain circumstances,as highlighted in the policy update) be accepted. Also,check the LINK on the SMC page too,IELTS is still valid 2 Likes |

Hi. Good morning all. I followed this thread yesterday and all the pages from 1-9. Most of the questions i would have loved to ask has been answered here. Thanks to the initiators. I also appreciate Etfash and Hartson effort. I now have few questions to ask. 1)My elder brother will be the prinicipal applicant. He has been into business for the past 10 years. he is 32 yrs now. He currently does not have a Degree, or any other post secondary Education qaulification. He has only his O level result. Since he doesnt have any university education certificate, can he submit only his WAEC O level for PAR. He also has an experience of over 4 years in poultry farming, can he apply with that as his skill since he doesnt have a poultry farming certificate but he does well in it.(Poultry farming in skill shortage list). NOTE: He is also a graphic designer but he learnt it on his own. his qaulifications falls here http://skillshortages.immigration.govt.nz/poultry-farmer/ 2) He wants me to be the person he will travel out with. I am 20 yrs. i am a programmer and web developer. I also do not have university education, But i have my certificate from NIIT as a java programmer and mobile APP developer. I also have a web developer certificate from systematics computers. I also have some Online certifications. Which do i submit for PAR together with my O level result? Or do i submit only my O level Result? My qualifications falls here http://skillshortages.immigration.govt.nz/software-and-applications-programmers-nec/ cc HARTSON AND ETFASH hartson: |

JERRYMAG4:sorry don't feel left out.Is still not easy to get an arranged employment from Nigeria.recruitment agents based in NZ can help you with that but ready to pay through your nose and sign a contract agreement of no guarantee to secure for you a choice job or they will not be held liable for inability to get you a job after the expiration of the signed contract. In-fact,there are lots pros and cons if you decide to go that way.my own opinion tho. |

40manlappy:40manlappy,nice to have U,I trust you are doing great.Well,their charge varies base on region,expertise(years of experience)type and condition of job expected,whether job is in regulated or non regulated profession,some are mere lobbyists while some have operational licence from govt.Ultimately, there is always no guarantee whatsoever. |
Re: New Zealand Skilled Worker Category by Maraizu19: 6:44pm On Dec 03, 2016 |
hartson: Thanks bro for your time and response. What if another of my Elder brother who is 28yrs, and has his OND be the prinicipal applicant while taking him along? Is OND assessed? |
Re: New Zealand Skilled Worker Category by hartson(m): 3:55pm On Dec 04, 2016 |
Maraizu19:They evaluate OND but you will certainly get very low point for that level of qualification.Remember,eligibility to apply is determined by having 160 points and above.most people with first degree or masters struggle to get that point how much more a low qualification.happy sunday |

Pls house, how much does the international qualification assessment (IQA) cost? |
Re: New Zealand Skilled Worker Category by JERRYMAG4(m): 1:50pm On Jan 09, 2017 |
Why is this thread so dry. Is there no hope with NZ? or have things really gotten so bad with the process? Is there anyone in the house that has sailed through this skill worker category program? Testimonies, please? This will encourage most of us. |
