Changes to New Zealand Skilled Migrant Category

From 04 February 2008, some changes were introduced to New Zealand's Skilled Migrant Category (SMC). Migrants wishing to gain residence in New Zealand under the Skilled Migrant Category can score points by taking employment in occupations designated as 'skilled employment.' The changes affect how New Zealand assesses a migrant's job offer or current New Zealand employment.
