Thanks MB, got your finger on the pulse, so to speak. This was very helpful. I have looked at points before but after spending an inordinate amount of time going through the NZIS site, I probably couldn't find my way back to it or forgot it existed! Based on the points shown, if I receive a job offer of skilled employment and it is outside of Auckland then I would have a total of 160 points when I submit my EOI. This total is based on job offer, offer outside Auckland, over 10 yrs experience, recognized qualification and my age. Actually, my case would be pretty straightforward. I have reference letters attesting to my job experience. I should have completed my Certificate by early next year and I know it is recognized as a Level 5 qualification as per the NZQA.
Wonder if I can gain any points for knowing Dave Carter? Or maybe I can get 2 points for every past All Black player I know!
Just kidding! I only know 4, but hey that would give me an extra 8 points.
I did read about the 6 month stay for a British Passport but it believe it also said "or other British passport". Hoping that my BODT passport falls into that category. Not sure about the Irish passport - which is the EU passport.
You have answered my questions and hopefully will continue to answer them!
It is 2:30pm Saturday and I have been cleaning my house. My son spent the night at his "Auntie's" house last night and I sat around staring in to space not knowing what to do with myself! So, I have been using my free time to clean. Oh the joy of it! I do miss him. Not sure how we will both do when I fly to NZ in July. He has so much fun at his Auntie's he probably won't want me back
Ciao,
