@hartson

so good to read from you after so long. I was about to embark on the NZ PR journey with 100 points score when I started reading this thread. Sadly, there's no one who has been selected from here how much less my humble score.

Were you able to scale through? what are your plans peradventure this route failed.

A time comes when the zeal or quest to achieve something in life dies but we are always encouraged never to give up but the zeal is dead already.So my quest to move isn't as it use to be in the past.I committed resources & lots of effort yet to no avail.So I decided to melow down.Thanks anyway for the info about urban & rural migration to Canada.

Don't ever give up. God will make a way.

Hi Guys, i just got wind of this forum even though i had earlier proceeded with my own process without any help or assistance. See highlights of what i have done so far and where i am presently:

1. Did my assessment and found out i had 165 points.

2. Applied to NZQA for PRE for my Msc qualification only being the highest qualification i am claiming point for and also sat for my IELTS exams.
3. Submitted my EOI on 18th January 2019.

4. Got selected and got my ITA on 23rd of january 2019.

5. I was giving 4 months to submit full applications along with supporting documents.

6. Applied to NZQA for my full qualification assessment for both my Bsc and Msc which took some time due to transcript issues with our Nigeria universities.

7. Applied to NZQA for my wife's qualification assessment too since am claiming points for that also.

8. Did my medicals along with my entire family. Note you only have 2 recommended hospitals in nigeria one in abuja and the other in Lagos.

9. Did my Police clearance at alagbon in Ikoyi. You will get your report same day.

10. Gathered all relevant employment references from all the places i have worked before since am claiming points for over 10 years in my EOI.

11. Marriage certificate.

12. I also have to proof i own my wife using my house address number you both receive correspondences together or individually. photos of important events in your marriage life, Air tickets and Hotels reservation of vacation trip you both went for etc.

13. All other documents as requested in the ITA letter.

14. The document gathering process has eaten deep into the 4 months giving to me but eventually i got everything ready at the nip of time.

15. Submitted my application via DHL on April 25th 2019.

16. My application got to the processing center in Manukau Auckland after the 3rd day.

17. My Application was vetted and lodged into their system on 2nd May 2019.

18. My original IELTS results along with 6 photos were returned back to me by mail. Please note any document you are sending and is not the original must be notarized page by page and not just the front page only.

19. I am currently on queue awaiting my application to be assigned to a Case Officer (CO) which depends on so many factors that is currently responsible for the current delay in visa assignment backlogs issues they are facing now.

The initial process was that it takes up to 4 months before the co will be allocated but i guess am already 4 months today from when my application was lodged. However it could take up to 6 months or more. It obvious many nigerians are not taking up this route but instead using student visa which is still a good option.

Quest to seek others in my situation from nigeria led me to this thread even though i have been in Nairaland forum long enough. I hope my experience so far can inspire others too willing to take my route to start early by taking the first step. Nothing Good comes so easy and i would advise @Hartson not to give up his dream and still give it a chance for the passion to be ignited once again.

Thank and best Regards. I will keep the house updated as i progress further.

I decided to follow the NZ visa process even though it requires me getting an employment opportunity. Presently, this are the steps i have taken

1. I applied with Newzealand institute of Quantity surveyor and i was approved a student membership. Any QS can read up the process on their website.
2. I just applied for skilled assessment with NZQA which i submitted on 3/09/2019. My application has been accepted while i wait for their response in next 25 working days.

@Jmakinde Did you submit your qualification to IPENZ for assessment, if so how many years skilled experience was in the outcome on your letter.

I studied metallurgical engineering and master in risk management with more than 10 years banking experience. Under which skill do you think I can apply. I can't find anything on the long time skill shortage list. Will appreciate your response. Thanks.

IF you can't find it there it means it's not listed. Your course does not really matter but your work experience. Is your current work listed? If not then may be you need to explore other options of migrating to the country since SMC is not looking like an option for you for now.

Yes she did because I am claiming point for her qualifications too. She just need to have a minimum of 6.5 on aggregate.

For planning sake, can you give an estimate of the medical test cost and also, what are the test required for the application.

Your worry should be getting below documents ahead of time:

References on company letterhead - from previous employers.
Pay slips.
Letters of appointment/promotion.
Third party evidence (tax records) to proof your years of experience

Don't worry your self on that for now. Just gather other necessary documents, do your medical and police clearance and send your application. After that fo ahead and get your tax clearance ready per adventure it's further required by your CO then you won't difficulties in presenting it. I did not send mine but am already processing all my tax clearance as far back as I can get. Best of luck too.
