Accredited employers
 

Hi, We`re 80% certain of a job offer from an accredited employer. This means that we only have to satisfy 4 Questions? is this right?:confused:

1. job offer over 45K (NZ) - check
2. clear police record - check
3. under 55 years old - check
4. medical clearance - ongoing but should be ok.

Sorry for the ignorance, but an EOI is still needed?

Reccie booked for 18 october 2007 for 3 full weeks, flying into auckland making our way to chch.

I hope to see some of you on our travels.

Re: Accredited employers
 

Yes, you must. All interested in immigrating as skilled migrants to New Zealand must first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). If you have enough points you will be sent an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in which you must show evidence to back up the claims you have made on your EOI. You must also satisfy the good character requirement by supplying police clearances and show that you are not a health risk by undertaking a medical examination and having chest x-rays done.
If all goes well you will be asked to pay migrant levies and after receipt of that you will have resident visas pasted in your passport. Upon arrival you will have a resident permit stamped in you passport allowing you to stay indefinitely in New Zealand.

Thanks for the reply. we have completed the EOI on line but only have 95 points, because we are under the magical 100 points will we still be ITA`d so to speak?

Re: Accredited employers
 

No, I'm afraid you will be automatically turned down and not issued an ITA. The threshold is 100 points. However, don't despair. Perhaps you could come out here, secure skilled work and apply from inside New Zealand.

Cheers happynz, do you know if a Diploma in Nursing is on the list of Recognised quals? if it is then we can increase our points but I can`t see it anywhere on the immigration website!
