Hi, I am a software Engg with 10+ years experience from India planning to apply for SMC and suffered a setback because of the requirement to have a NZ Job offer or NZ study experience in order to be granted Resident Visa straight away.
I am planning to enroll for a Masters Degree in order to become eligible for RV. I have a couple of doubts in this regard
1. Since I am enrolling for my Masters after my work experience, will I get points for the Masters degree.
2. The Study Requirement Reads
has undertaken full-time study for at least two years in New Zealand that has resulted in the award of a Doctorate or Master’s degree.
Are they talking about 2 academic years or 2 Calendar years.
How many credits I should have completed within the 2 Academic or Calendar years (180 or 24 ).
Experts please clarify.
