Open Work Visa To Residency.

[sacjoy121]

Hi All,
I have completed graduate diploma in Early childhood education ( Level 7 ). I am on open graduate job search visa for 1 year. I have recently got a full time permanent job as an Early childhood teacher. I calculated my points and it is above 150. I want to know whether I can straightaway apply for PR under SMC category as I have secured a job in the relevant field.

Need your valuable guidance. Kindly reply.

Thank you.

Congratulations on your job!

I can't find anything in the regulations against applying for Residence straight away. You could ask INZ, just to be certain.

Sure I'll check with INZ.
