I am not exaggerating neither claiming point that am not qualify for ! And be cautious of your words it is not professional. what i stated is not exaggerating ,it is what saw and read from a friends EOI and sharing more light to have better understanding of the program does warrant such word

Thanks hartson.

I appreciate your point on G2 and l've input it properly .My work experience is an area of absolute skills shortage as you stated and from what learn from my colleague is that i should not claim any point or bonus from LTSSL since my qualification level is 6 not 7 .

Requirements to claim points for skilled employment (Category A)

Bachelor of Business Studies (Business Information Systems) (NZQF Level 7) - Bachelor of Commerce (Computer Science) or (Information Management) or (Information Systems) or (Information Systems - IT Solutions)

A relevant recognised qualification which is at, or above, the qualification level on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework. The qualification must correspond to the skill level indicated for that occupation in the Australian New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO)
OR
The relevant work experience that the ANZSCO indicates may substitute the required qualification
OR
The relevant requirements specified in the Long Term Skill Shortage List (LTSSL) for your occupation (if your occupation is included in the LTSSL)
OR
Five years of relevant work experience.

In this section we recognise the importance of skills and experience gained through your previous employment that:

are readily transferable; and
will enable you to get skilled employment in New Zealand; and
will help you to contribute to New Zealand socially and economically.

Please provide the following details about the recognised work experience for which you are claiming points. For more information, see the Help for this page, or read Sections SM11, SM12 and SM13 of the Skilled Migrant Category Instructions.

Please note: If you do not have current skilled employment in New Zealand or an offer of skilled employment in New Zealand or if your work experience is not in an area of absolute skills shortage, you can only qualify for points for your work experience if it is recognised, and was gained legally in a labour market that is comparable to New Zealand.

My question now is should i submit the EOI with the 140 points without claiming any point under LTSSL?

@hartson
Kindly see the attached below .When i submit my EOI my NZQA is level 6 ,i applied under skilled migrant scine my NZQA level is not Level 7 on column 3&4 and i did not claim any bonus point on long term skill list .but total point is 140 but my friend who introduce me to New zealand skill immigrant ! his points been deducted and return back into pool. we are both Business Analyst.Kindly share more light on dis ........

hartson:


Your ascertion is quite confusing also.I read your statement over and over again until I was able to understand what you are talking about.

Have you started the main EOI Skilled Migration app or you are still trying to use the free online assessment to find out your eligiblity.
1.The exact point that will be awarded base on your qualification will be when you have done the educational pre-assessment ie PAR but if you are still assessing your eligibility using the free online platform and award yourself level 6 for 50 points it will not reflect the same when you eventually do the qualification pre-assessment.
if my explanation is not clear then summarise your first question let be elaborate more on it

2.you will get bonus point awarded to you if your skill is among the list of absolute skill shortage if not they will not award you any bonus point then if the skill is among the long term skill shortage a bonus point will also be given but from my own observation so far,the occupations in both list are always different
I don't think you will claim points for both.they classified the occupations in short term and long term bases.so your occupation can't be in short term as well as long term skill shortage.i will clarify you more if you wish

New Zealand Skills Immigrants program is so confusing.
1. why CO will be deducting point when it stated in their requirement e.g level 6 point - 50 points (ICT business analsyt) withHND in Business Administration with IT certifications (Oracle dba,Sap hana,Itil v3 ) over 13 years working experinence.
having skills nominated under absolute skill shortage . CO stated that i can not claim points in long term skill shortage refering to column 3& 4.

please do you know anything about skilled immigrant visa in NZ and what is the total amount that someone has to get in his /her account during submission
