Hello,
I read that when you are granted the work permit you have to work for accredited employer. If you change jobs, the new employer has to be accredited and you have to apply for a new work permit.
I also read that in order to become permanent resident you have to have work permit for 2 years.
Ok, my question is, the 2 years count from the original employer or do you start counting the 2 years every time you change jobs?
We are thinking of moving to NZ and prepared to take ANY job that we can get just to get us moved and have income. While in NZ, we would look for that perfect job. Unless we super lucky to get the perfect one right off the bat, I am worried about the whole red tape with work permits. Trying to see how soon we can become permanent residents to get all the medical and school benefits.
thanks a lot in advance for the replies and your time.
