Dear experts,
As I said in another thread, my partner's PAR is currently being assessed, as I wait on it, I've a couple of questions:
There is a list of check-boxes
1) My partner is a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical and is expected to come out with a PAR of level 7. When we submit his IQA, is it mandatory to submit ALL experience letters, he has been in 7-8 companies, totalling 18 years of work ex; we are unable to locate just one ORIGINAL experience letter, amount to about 2.5 years of experience. We have the rest in Originals. Not sure how soon that company will respond if we were to ask for an original. It could take days/weeks.
2) Is it mandatory to submit any work ex at all considering that we don't want to have his qual assessed for LTSSL - most of his experience seem to be in fields unrelated to his qual. Can we not just leave Appendix B blank while submitting IQA and NOT provide ANY original work ex? Does NZ weigh experience as well when it assesses qual?
3) There is a column to select immigration purpose in the IQA. Does it take longer for the assessment if I were to select employment and immigration instead of just immigration which is the default that we are going to select? I know this question kind of contradicts my 2nd one but asking out of curiosity. What kind of employment related assessment does NZQA do?
