2. Qualifications in an area of absolute skills shortage
You have claimed 10 bonus points for your qualification being in an area of absolute skills shortage as an
ICT Project Manager.
In order to claim bonus points for qualifications in an area of absolute skill shortage under the Skilled Migrant Category, applicants must meet the specifications listed in Column Four of the Long Term Skill Shortage List (LTSSL).
Immigration policy states the following:
SM16.20 Qualifications in an area of absolute skills shortage
a. If a principal applicant does not have skilled employment in New Zealand in an area of absolute skills shortage (see SM8.20), they will be assessed as being qualified in an area of absolute skills shortage if they meet the specifications in Column 4 of the Long Term Skill Shortage List (see Appendix 4) or that was listed on the date their Expression of Interest was selected.
b. If a principal applicant does have skilled employment in New Zealand in an area of absolute skills shortage (see SM8.20) their recognised qualification will be assessed as being in an area of absolute skills shortage if the specialist, technical or managerial expertise required for that employment was obtained through the completion of that qualification.
c. Recognised qualifications in an area of absolute skills shortage only qualify for points if any occupational registration requirements relating to those qualifications are met (see SM19.15).
Effective 29/11/2010
The LTSSL states in order to claim these bonus points you must have a Bachelor degree (Level 7) specialising in Information Technology (Computer Science, Information Systems or other Information Technology)* OR Bachelor degree (Level 7) specialising in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Technology* AND three years of relevant work experience.
Your level 8 qualification does not meet the qualification requirement at outlined above. A Master degree (level 8) qualification does not meet the type and level of qualification required by the LTSSL.
For further information regarding the comparability of qualifications of the LTSSL please visit our website at
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/NR/rd...D30-4B45-AE55- 77A3AE6F29E7/0/IAC1018AssessingComparabilityofQualifications.pdf
We are unable to take your Bachelor of Technology into consideration because this qualification is not recognised. It is not included on the List of Qualifications Exempt from Assessment and it has not been assessed by the NZQA.
As you do not meet the qualification requirement of the LTSSL I am unable to award you the points for your qualification being in an area of absolute skills shortage.
3. Work experience
You have claimed 30 points for work experience.
To be eligible for points for your work experience you must meet the following policy:
SM11.10 Requirements for recognition
Work experience is recognised and qualifies for points if it meets the requirements set out at (a) and (b) below:
a. An immigration officer must be satisfied that work experience is:
i. relevant to the principal applicant's current skilled employment in New Zealand or offer of skilled employment in New Zealand (see SM7); or
ii. relevant to the principal applicant's recognised qualification (see SM14); or
iii. skilled, because it required, or enabled the principal applicant to gain specialist, technical or management skills and experience relevant to an occupation that is included in the lists of occupations held at Appendix 6 or Appendix 7.
b. Work experience must also have been gained in a labour market that is comparable to the New Zealand labour market unless:
i. the work experience meets the requirements set out at SM13.20 for work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage; or
ii. the principal applicant has current skilled employment in New Zealand or an offer of skilled employment in New Zealand (see SM7).
SM11.10.1 Definition: Comparable labour market
a. Work experience is assessed as being in a comparable labour market if it was undertaken in one of the following countries by:
i. a citizen or permanent resident of that country; or
ii. a person who had the lawful authority to work in that country.
Australia Malaysia
Austria New Zealand
Belgium-Luxembourg Netherlands
Canada Norway
Cyprus Philippines
Denmark Portugal
Finland Republic of South Korea
France Singapore
Germany South Africa
Greece Spain
Iceland Sweden
Ireland Switzerland
Israel United Kingdom
Italy United States
Japan
b. Work experience undertaken in a country not listed at (a) above will be assessed as being in a comparable labour market only if it was undertaken for a multinational commercial entity (including a wholly or majority owned subsidiary of such an entity that bears the same core name as the parent company) domiciled in one of the countries listed in (a) above.
effective 29/11/2010
You are not eligible for work experience points because India does not share a comparable labour market to New Zealand and you do not meet the requirements set out at SM13.20 for work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage.
4. Work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage
You have claimed 15 bonus points for your work experience being in an area of absolute skills shortage as an ICT Project Manager.
In order to claim bonus points for work experience in an area of absolute skill shortage under the Skilled Migrant Category, applicants must meet the specifications listed in Column Three of the Long Term Skill Shortage List (LTSSL).
Immigration policy states the following:
SM13.20 Work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage
a. Recognised work experience is assessed as being in an area of absolute skills shortage if:
i. it was undertaken in an occupation included on the Long Term Skill Shortage List (refer Appendix 4) or that was on the Long Term Skill Shortage List at the time their Expression of Interest was selected; and
ii. it meets the specifications for that occupation; and
iii. the principal applicant is suitably qualified by training and/or experience to undertake that work (including any specific requirements set out in column 3 of the Long Term Skill Shortage List or that were listed on the date their Expression of Interest was selected).
b. Where the Long Term Skill Shortage List specifies that occupational registration is required for a listed occupation, principal applicants must demonstrate that they held occupational registration while undertaking the work experience, if occupational registration is required in the country in which the work occurred.
Effective 29/11/2010
The LTSSL states in order to claim these bonus points you must have a Bachelor degree (Level 7) specialising in Information Technology (Computer Science, Information Systems or other Information Technology)* OR Bachelor degree (Level 7) specialising in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Technology* AND three years of relevant work experience.
As outlined above you do not meet the requirement of the LTSSL. As a result I am unable to award you the points for your work experience being in an area of absolute skills shortage.
Conclusion
This reduces your original claim of 160 points to 95 points. Therefore, your Expression of Interest will be withdrawn from the pool and will not be eligible for further selection.
