Hi all we are new to this as of yesterday can anyone help should we submit our EOI before i get my qualifications compared to new zealands.

What qualifications are they? I had to get my accountancy qualification pre-assessed to justify the points.

Hi Alison i have a city & guilds in family and community care

It's wise to have your quals assessed before submitting an EOI . That way you can be sure you are claiming the correct amount of points.

Is your occupation on the shortages lists?

I will do that do i have to send my city and guilds to NZ to get them checked

Have a look at this. You can get a pre-assessment report quite cheaply without sending your qualifcations to NZ, which will do for the purpose of submitting your EOI - allow 1 month. However if your EOI is selected, you will still need a full evaluation where you have to send your certificates to Wellington - allow 2 months even with paying for fast tracking.

Good luck
