Work Visa Application

[antok30]

Hi Greeting to all

I'm asking this information for one of my friend

My friend completed Graduate Diploma in Business level - 7 from one of the NZQA approved collage in Auckland

He is actually on open work visa now, and got a job offer as a Telecommunication Technician- especially fiber broadband line installer in a comparatively new nz registered company , this company is doing some subcontracting job for Chorus and other Fiber installation company.

My question would be my friend can get a two years visa from this company for the job tittle - Telecommunication Technician(He literally does not have any IT/Telecommunication background)

Appreciated your comments..

Cheers
Anton

As it says here https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...loyer-assisted, "To apply you’ll need to have an offer of full-time work in the same area as your qualification." So no, that idea won't work.
