Hi,

I’m planning to apply NZ in SMC and I’m new to this so can someone please help me to clarify following questions.

1. When do we need to submit Service Reference Letter from Employer ? As I have understood, it’s needed at the time of submitting ITA. Is it correct ?

2. Further to this, I’m bit confused about the document requirement of IQA (http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualifications-standards/international-qualifications/international-qualifications-assessment/documents-required/ )

a. I have BSC and MSC degree in IT field. So, to claim the points, do I need to submit both certificate or is it enough to submit the MSC Certificate and Transcript to IQA?
b. In above link in NZQA, there is a document call “Skill shortage list form:”. What is that documents and do we need Employer Service Reference letter as a supportive document for this ?

I’m asking this because I can’t request the Reference letter from Employer at the early stage because that will affect my career in current company.

Your replies are highly appreciated.

/Thanks
