I’m checking the official government NZ Immigration website, and it seems the EOIs being accepted of late all have job offers, 140 points, or 6+ yrs experience (10 points) in a skill shortage area. Since I’m not sure how one can mathematically get to 140 points without a job offer, I’m concluding the folks getting in via the skilled migration program all have jobs or 6+ yrs experience in a skill shortage area. Not since May have EOIs without job offers or less than 6 yrs experience been accepted. Anyone else worried? Not sure how difficult it is for a nurse in the States with 2 yrs experience to secure a job offer in New Zealand.
