Hello Everybody,
I'm currently applying for a position in New Zealand that would likely start pretty soon (6 weeks or so).
Are there any provisions that would allow me to start that soon with the SMC? Once you're invited to apply, are they able to give you any kind of temporary work Visa? My worry is that I have to get the IQA done and that seems to take AGES! So if the role were to start in 6-8 weeks, how could I get started in the role on time?
I've heard something about a temporary provision, but I can't find any information on it.
I realize I can do the expedited version of the IQA, but I still don't know if that will bring down the time of the process enough.
Thank you!
