TO PERMANENT RESIDENT


Education is truly an investment, more so if you are looking to study abroad. New Zealand offers an opportunity to learn the culture, gain an international qualification, and an option to bring your family and to work part – time 20 hours per week and later on qualifying for a work visa after the completion of your course program and eventually apply for permanent resident in New Zealand. A client from the Philippines, years back had previously studied in the UK, she’s a registered nurse and her husband is an electrical engineer (works in a ship overseas), the wife first came into New Zealand to study – where in those times INZ, implements the Fund Transfer Scheme (FTS), after her completion of a 1 year course, she then obtains a working visa to work as a caregiver while their son remains in the Philippines which is a minor, and soon enough, the husband applied for an open work visa and the child applied for a dependent visa.

When the husband arrives in New Zealand, he strived to get a job as a maintenance staff to a certain company in New Zealand though, the couple work hard to maintain their job, their finances and remain their faith and thought that in time, they would have an opportunity to become a permanent resident in New Zealand but this isn’t easy, until such time her husband got promoted to a job as a maintenance fitter. We then see the opportunity for them to apply for permanent resident in New Zealand through the Skilled Migrant Category (SMC), because he receives a genuine and skilled job in New Zealand and his qualification, the training he received from the company when starting to work as maintenance staff (saw mill) helps him a lot to consider as to assess and determine skilled occupation.


As we may know Skilled Migrant Category is a pointing system and the first thing we did is to assist in applying for the assessment of her husband’s qualification to deem the points for his education, it took less than 1 a month for them to receive the assessment, certification from NZQA – noting that this application for assessment is online, only have to courier the documents required for submission and pay the application fee online. Thereafter, we guided them online on how to complete the Expression of Interest (EOI) online, as this you need to enter bulk of information regarding your application and deem points to earn, after a couple of days in progress of completing, finally the EOI online has been submitted in less than 1 week they’ve got invited to apply for permanent resident in New Zealand. Meanwhile, after the invitation to apply, in which the immigration officer sent him the application form to fill- out for permanent residence, medical form and other list of documents to submit and fees to pay in line for their application, they waited about 3 months and 1 week to get the decision as there’s a minor issue about the medical exams for the wife, which the INZ would need to further reassess it with the medical assessor until they receive an email from INZ that their application has already been approved.
