If you have a job/job offer for skilled employment, it must be:
full time (on average, at least 30 hours per week)
for a position that is paid by salary or wages or in terms of a contract for service – payment by commission and/or retainer are not acceptable
be ongoing and sustainable.

Ongoing means your job offer must be for employment with a single employer in a job:
which is clearly stated to be 'permanent', or 'indefinite', or
for a term of at least 12 months, with an option for you of further employment after that time.

If you are offered a contract and have a history of working on contracts in your occupation, then this may be accepted as ‘skilled employment’ if INZ is satisfied that the work is likely to continue.
