Please I need help on this thanks

hartson:

Firstly,both you and your wife will sit for IELTS(Academic or GT)and get the eligible score i.e PA(6.5 or more) spouse(5.5 or more)if not you will be forced to purchase ESOL prior to arrival which is usually very costly.
Secondly,refer to page 0-5 you wil spot the link for self assessment there.
Thirdly,I can't really figure out the exact course you tried to write up there nevertheless, I guess is chemistry or what?clarify
Take your time,finish your mother's burial before you begin everything, IELTS exam & preparation is not child's play
Then finally,Accept my condolence on the death of your mother.You are bereaved now and not in the right frame of mind to even start the app itself

dailydolar:
thank you I appreciate the course is chemistry you are right. OK I think that's what I will do I want after the burial to do anything once again am very great full bro. I think I will try the self assessment right away then know what to do

Good day all.

I apreciate the creator of this thread @hartson for giving some of us the opportunity to have an idea of the basics on new zealand skilled worker immigration. God bless u all.

Lemme share how far i have gone on the process and possibly seek for clarification.

My wife and i took the IELTS test. My wife did well in the test and she would be the principal applicant as her qualification (medicine) is in the Long Term Skill Shortage List.

We have both gotten our Pre-assessment done, so we are about filling the form for the expression of interest.

Here is my questions sirs,

1. we discovered that on the Long Term Skill Shortage List, http://skillshortages.immigration.govt.nz/assets/uploads/long-term-skill-shortage-list-2015-03-30-.pdf , the requirements shows that she must be registered with the Medical Council of New Zealand before some points can be claimed. Pls how feasible is that as that would mean she would have to undertake some exams in various levels.

2. Is der any one in the house or that anyone knows who peradventure was selected from the pool with points between 100-135 as it seems as if we are going to fall in that category.Just want to be sure before gambling with $530 dollars or so.

Thanks

Good one Yinkzy. Can you state your IELTS score, your qualification, skill and years of practice?

I asked the questions because of the following:
1. IELTS isn't given much premium here relative to CA, UK and AUS immigration. An average score of 6.5 is all you need in either the Academic or GT module. So, a higher score here might not do much, except your score is less than the stipulated.

2) Often times, our job descriptions emphasize certain parts of our roles than the others. Usually, the deemphasized roles are those in Short supply. So, why not emphasize those ones and claim your points... You can actually function in these roles and in fact, have been doing them.

3) Years of experience is an invaluable treasure in this system unlike the Canadian Immigration. So, if you have more years of experience than your wife, you might just need to package your application well and be the principal applicant.

4) I am not in the know of the procedures for evaluation of medical degrees and practice; You might need to check online for that. However, it takes time and money in North America.

So, let's have more information in order to be able to provide more specifics.

Regards.

Well! I don't really know if she will sit for standardization test or to simply forward her academic and professional qualifications for assessment.
Immigration authorities often insist that qualifications like medicine earned elsewhere must be subjected to scrutiny.it is a norm with high class profession like Medical practice and others like Engineering,Law etc

Applicants from overseas must have their qualifications assessed to make sure it complies with host country's standard.The only discouraging thing most times is the cost of evaluating such qualifications.

2. Is der any one in the house or that anyone knows who peradventure was selected from the pool with points between 100-135 as it seems as if we are going to fall in that category.Just want to be sure before gambling with $530 dollars or so.
In the EOI pool,140 is an automatic ITA but with 100-135 your chances are slim except you have job offer.

Thanks

Note also that the points you earn for PAR is for EOI submission only when you finally get an ITA you will process and pay for a full international qualification assessment(IQA) before the full educational qualification points will be awarded.

Thank you very much @Etfash, this is highly appreciated.

Here are my details:

Fisrt degree: Mathematics - 2007
Second degree: MBA - 2014
Work experience: Banking (Credit Risk) - 7years.
IELTS score - 5.5, 6.5, 7, 7 - overall is 6.5.

Thanx very much

Unfortunately, Business/Finance is where your qualifications fall into where only Procurement manager is skill in shortage.
If you were working with smaller companies, chances are you will be doing more than one thing.

Okay, here are my suggestions:
1. You can research more into the cost implications (in Naira and time) should your wife stand in as PA and if both of you are ready.
2. Over time, I have seen a lot of interdependencies in business processes. As a Credit Analyst, do you think you can function well, if you were to be moved to Procurement? I believe YES. If so, you can still be the PA...

Yinkzy03:


Thank you for your help guys; @hartson, @Etfash. You are far too kind, God bless you.

From the look of things, i would require CIPS qualification awarded by the United Kingdom to be able to fit into procurement.Go for it man! Your destiny is in your hands.

We would have to work towards my wife sitting for the next diet of their medical examination and hope for the best. Ofcourse that would cost us some money and time, guess thats our best bet.Look beyond what it will cost you if you have the means,it is your future you are about to secure.

I have also tried to secure jobs via the suggested jobsites but they all seem to want a PR or NZ Citizen.Very correct.only a fraction get offers outside NZ.

We would keep looking for other means of getting this done regardless of how long it takes.This is courage.Only losers give up

Thank you all...

bertoseve:
Thanks Bro , i appreciate , i hope to submit and pay for EOI immediately i get the PAR results. i want to use this opportunity to encourage everyone in the house to paste their experiences , this will encourage others behind to put in more efforts and rub minds to solve challenges that come our way. its our ultimate hope that everyone gets the SMC visa.

bblessed:
Good job you guys are doing.well done.Thank you

Pls what about for someone who just graduated without work experience, can he apply.

First,you can but make sure your occupation is listed on the long,short or immediate skills in demand list otherwise you don't stand a chance.

Secondly,since you don't have post graduation experience it will be difficult to get the cumulative point and of course no point for W.E not even a bonus point for number of yrs of W.E

And is there any site for new Zealand permanent residence, because I have searched through but couldn't see.

Na waa for you o!How can you say you have searched for NZ and you couldn't find any?as massive as world wide web.anyway check this www.newzealandnow.govt.nz,

Thanks

Hello House,
Reporting for suggestions as well.

Any Engineer in the house that has gone through the process or going through the process kindly enlighten me as i am at lost when to do EOI.


Find our stats below Hubby:Electrical Eng 1st degree,Oil and gas Eng M.sc,Age:38,Work experience 4 years,IELTS 6.5 and above.good to go with this

Me:1st degree B.ED,Age:34 IELTS 6.5 and above very good also

I calculated our points to be on 120.

My questions are at what point do we need to do assessment before EOI or after EOI?
You do self & husband's profile assessment using your own information just like the canada CRS then arrive at a cumulative score as you indicated above. if you feel satisfy with your score range then you sign up and begin to fill the online EOI app form.

Also do we need POF if so how much for family of 3?
Make a reasonable budget for your family,POF is not needed for application submission.nevertheless,you may be required to show account balance or statement post ITA before migration.

Thank you.

Hi, just recieved and e-mail with this message Dear robert imieye

Thank you for your application. This is an automated response, PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.

The Pre-assessment Result for your nominated qualification, bachelor of technology awarded in 2002 by rivers state university of science and technology, Nkpolu
port-harcourt
rivers state, Nigeria.

Pre-assessment Result:

On the information available, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) assesses this qualification as comparable to the learning outcome of a qualification at Level 7 on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework. its coming less than the stipulated 20 working days. i'll like to confirm if "reference number " on the online form (F5a) the same as pre-assessment application number and on the drop menu of level, how do i identify level 7, then F6a What New Zealand qualification was your qualification assessed as being comparable to?

hartson:
Goodday Mr.Kayode Sorry I have been fluctuating like a pendulum bulb lol.just running helter skelter to meet up with demand of work.

No Naija qualification is exempted from IQA.very bad.
