Thanks Hartson. Thats a huge risk to take up. So there is no need sending EOI in a hurry if you don't have appreciable points.

WhyNa:


True, I have a friend who's from NZ but currently living and working in Aussie. Wants to apple for a PR

hartson:
Goodday Mr.Kayode Sorry I have been fluctuating like a pendulum bulb lol.just running helter skelter to meet up with demand of work.

No Naija qualification is exempted from IQA.very bad.

mrkayodeoludare:
Truely very bad Hartson. Tot I saw SA n ZIM on d list somewhere? Naija is not a GIANT @all when it comes to vital and essential issues. Well I guess that's y we all wana leave. Very +ve abt NZ tho' I think its a realisable dream.

revlane:
NZ is indeed a realizable dream especially since POF is not yet compulsory but the major issue is getting a job from outside NZ. This is where i think we should concentrate our effort. Am still researching and i think we should be on the look out for any Nigerian in NZ who can provide a link or useful info on getting a job.
For those of us not on the skill shortage or future direction of labour, we really need the help.

@ hartson, thanks for the NZ job website.

revlane:
Yes Pardon my use of English. No wonder i didn't make a band 9

Ok kool. Band 9 is NOT easy to achieve in IELTS. It remains the most difficult English language test. Lucky to fall under Future Growth Area.

lol @ Mr.Kayode

princessayinke:

segbas:
Hello my people,
I want more light on NZ things here;
1. Is it cumpolsory for PA and Spouse to take IELTS?
2. How much will one need to show as POF for family of 5? I can't find it on this thread. Pls tell me.

Please help your boy out here.

This topic was inspired by a slight "derailment" on the Canadian thread.

I am not very knowledgeable on the subject but I think we can exchange ideas and gradually get more information on the subject.

Let me share a few of what I have found out so far.

First, as a skilled worker hopeful, the first thing to do is to check if your skills are in demand. It is noteworthy that there are immediate skilled shortages and long-term skilled shortages.

Second is to check if you are eligible. If the finding is positive, the next thing to do is to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).

Be ready to cough out about $530 to support the application

Let us keep the thread going with useful, relevant and practical information. Cheers!

check if your occupation is listed in the long term skill shortage.if it is listed then check the qualification requirements and no of years experience required in col. 3 & 4 to be eligible for bonus points.
You might likely qualify to apply but if your occupation is not among the LTSL then you can't claim bonus point

segbas:
Hello House,

Can someone with BA in Mass Communications and Masters in Mass Communications with School Management apply.

and what Occupation can he fit in to?

He has been working as a Teacher for like 6 years now.

hartson:
Hi,Segbas,your occupation isn't listed on the Long term skill shortage or the immediate skill shortage.I suggest you look for offer of employment but the issue is ITA considerations are often base on occupations listed in the LTSSL and ISSL.I read somewhere that your occupation must be among the occupations that are in shortage in NZ.so figure out another option if you can lets see.cheers

segbas:
Thank you so much

mrkayodeoludare:
Hartson, what about future growth area? Creative industries is in that category. I should think masscom should fit in there. Just like me with Performing Arts/Film. Plz help check it out and clarify. I saw on the self assessment grid bonus points for occupations and qualifications that fall under future growth area.

For a nigerian, if we are earning close to that sef some of us wont look for greener pastures.very correct

Please if you know someone that has gone through this process kindly help my shedding more light on this
