Migrate as A Skilled Worker in New Zealand

The Skilled Migrant Category New Zealand can only be applied for by invitation. This means, only those who get the invitation to apply can proceed to submit an application for the visa. After a candidate’s skill assessment approval, an Expression of Interest is to be sent and if selected, an invitation to file an application will be issued to the candidate.

New Zealand is focused on absorbing experienced and skilled individuals who can help to add quality to the economy of New Zealand. There are basically two vehicles through which skilled workers can be migrated to New Zealand for either permanent or temporary basis. They are:

-          The Skilled Migrant Category; and

-          The Work to Residence Category

Out of these two options for immigration to New Zealand, the Skilled Migrant Category is still the best option. Since it uses a points based system, it makes it easier to select only candidates with the highest points first. Immigration New Zealand uses a set of lists through which it gives points to candidates who apply under the General Skilled Migrant Program. These lists are updated everyone 6 months. The lists includes:

-          Essential Skills in Demand List: This includes the list of skills that are in high demand. If a migrant has experience in any of the skills, they have a better advantage.

-          Long Term Short Skills List: This is a list of skills that are constantly in demand, year in, year out. The migrant who has any of the listed skills is a hot cake and stands a good chance of getting employment and a visa

-          Immediate Skills Shortage List: This is the list of skills that are in immediate demand. The migrant is expected to have experience in a skill listed under the immediate Skills Shortage List.
