IT Consultants - Future Growth or Absolute Shortage
Hi,
Been reading soo many posts on immigration consultants and had the quotes and the contracts! Ouch. So I am taking the plunge and going to do it myself. Here is my first question.
I am in IT have been since 1999.
Do I come under Future Growth or Absolute Shortage?
Thanks so much.

Re: IT Consultants - Future Growth or Absolute Shortage
Hi
It looks as if you come under the long term skills shortage list aka absolute shortage.
This is from the NZIS website:
If you can prove the above then you come under LTSSL. I'm not sure about the Future growth stipulations though I think you may need to be working in NZ or have a job offer. Hoping someone else can answer you there.
Hope this helps! By the way the whole process is fairly easy and certainly not worth paying an immigration consultant for
Just ask on here
