Hello,
I need clarifications on few points listed below. I just want to be on right track before submitting my EOI and SMC application.
I hold a Post study work visa One year and intending to apply for SMC soon. I am also planning to apply for Essential work visa if time runs out while waiting for residence application. Fingers crossed.
I had read the Operational Manual lots of time and a bit confusing so need clarifications on these:-
1. NZ Qualifications- I had a Level 5 completed April 2020. IS this qualified?
According to the Points Indicator for SMC- Recognised Level 4-8 qualification completed before 25 July 2011. OR Any recognised qualification started before 25 July 2011- 2 years or more.
2. Skilled work experience- I qualified for a IQA Level 7 NZQA Bachelor of Pharmacy and was working as a pharmacist in my home country for 9 years i.e post-qualification. In NZ, I am working as a Qualified Pharmacy Technician. I checked the ANZSCO for both different jobs are similar Â…and my Pharmacy qualification obtained could be used for both jobs. Could I be still qualify for the bonus points of 8 years Skilled work experience?
3. NZ work experience- I have more than 1 year NZ work experience but not on my skilled job. IS this qualify 10 points as well?
I should appreciate any help. Thanks.
