If you're invited to apply for residence, you'll need to provide evidence that:

you have work experience in an occupation that's included in the Long Term Skill Shortage List
your work experience meets the requirements listed for that occupation on the Long Term Skill Shortage List.

Thank you in advance,

SM13.20 Work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage

Recognised work experience is assessed as being in an area of absolute skills shortage if:

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 the principal applicant’s Expression of Interest was selected; and

it meets the specifications for that occupation; and

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).

It seems it does not mention the current employment issue. So, based in my situation, I can still claim it. Right?

Many thanks.

If the job you would like to take does not count as skilled, you can't make that job the basis of an application for residence.

The idea of the Skilled Migrant Category is like a swap between the NZ government and the applicant. You get permission to live and work in NZ, in return for your knowledge and skill being used to benefit the country by being employed in the NZ labour market. So they won't make the swap if you aren't intending to use your short-supply skill.

At the beginning of the section of regulations relating to Work Experience comes this http://onlineservices.immigration.go...nual/30570.htm. See SM11.10 a.

I have a qualification as well as 2 years long-term skilled experience.
I have found a skilled offer, which is irrelevant to my qualification and the 2 years experience.

So.......? in the EOI stage, can I Claim the 2 years experience still? which would add 10pts for me, if it works out like that.

Thanks.

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:

An immigration officer must be satisfied that work experience is:
relevant to the principal applicant's current skilled employment in New Zealand or offer of skilled employment in New Zealand (see SM7); or
relevant to the principal applicant's recognised qualification (see SM14); or
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.
Work experience must also have been gained in a labour market that is comparable to the New Zealand labour market unless:
the work experience meets the requirements set out at SM13.20 for work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage; or
the principal applicant has current skilled employment in New Zealand or an offer of skilled employment in New Zealand (see SM7).

Hey! it seems it is unnecessary to be the same job of the current employment in NZ.
I was an electronic engineer which is in Appendix 6 and I have an electronic engineer degree as well.
