Ladon7:The major thing PhD will give you based on current INZ provisions when it comes to PR is higher points-points for qualification and points for studying in the country. Check INZ website -SMC,LTSSL,ISSL,CSSL to see what occupations fit into your present experience and qualification,then make some projections(this is not cast in stone,it might change anytime) Though sciences generally stand a better chance of getting PR,the most important thing is still to get a job offer..think of spending 3yrs on PhD and be able/not being able to get an offer..though if you are good in your skill,you stand a chance PhD in New Zealand is a minimum of 24months and maximum of 4yrs.Immigration rules might change before you finish and there is the chance that the new rules might be or not be in your favour. A major component of securing PhD in NZ is getting the consent of a would be supervsior.If you are able to do that,most likely you will get admitted. Check the varuous university department requirements to see if you stand a chancee with your grades. A good proposal will give you an edge If you can afford to pay the domestic tuition rate and show $15,000 every year for your living expenses,all good How do you want to cope with 3 kids here? I cant offer you much more on specifics but THINK ABOUT THESE POINTS IN MAKING YOUR DECISION |

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 |

I want to encourage you all to look at the university scholarship websites. Many have tonnes of direct scholarships that are awarded to outstanding students. You apply with almost the same set of documents used for the government scholarship ....do not put all your eggs in one basket Also note that if you have a long term goal of residency, watch out for certain conditions attached to some scholarships...some expect you to return to your country of origin at the end of your program. If you are coming to Christchurch,I might be able to provide some assistance-airport pick up,temporary accommodation and some other relevant and useful information NB: I might not be able to tell you how to get a job,if you can work and pay your fees ..and the rest of such questions. I can only objectively answer questions that I think I am knowledgeable about I have benefited from these kind of gestures from other NL members...giving back to the community 1 Like |
