October 2011: News from the New Zealand employment market
Katrin Schottke, Employment Adviser at jobs4migrants reports:
'The Building Sector in New Zealand needs people like never before'. Those headlines are increasingly featured in recent newspapers or local recruitment agency requests to us.
Now that the rebuild of Christchurch has started and the building industry is picking up again, it becomes very apparent that '[...] the entire New Zealand building industry will soon experience a huge boom, and inevitably a shortage of construction professionals will result. Some forecasts pick the number of people in construction needing to double, particularly builders with [...] a National Certificate in Carpentry.
There is a high demand for engineers, quantity surveyors, construction project managers and electricians.
One large NZ construction company stated they are particularly looking for 'young Irish workers to aid in Christchurch's civil engineering recovery & helping to rebuild our infrastructure.'
This would be an excellent chance to make your move to New Zealand!
'The Irish are well-known in the [...] construction industry for being highly skilled and motivated workers', according to an article in the Irish Examiner earlier this year, trying to encourage unemployed construction workers to explore opportunities down under.
In light of the current demand and to ensure a smooth immigration procedure we are offering to help you with your work visa application.
We also offer our assistance with your job application procedure to make you a strong contender on the job market for construction workers (professional CV preparation, application material review and further support material from our licensed immigration adviser to reassure your future employers that your visa application is taken care of).
Why not take your chance now and your migration plans a step further?
Talk to us today or write us an email. We look forward to working with you.
Kind regards
Katrin

New 'interim visa' system
Friday, 10 December 2010
A new ‘interim visa’ system comes into effect on 7 February 2011 to help overseas students, workers and visitors who wish to extend their stay in New Zealand.
Interim visas may be granted to maintain a person’s lawful status in New Zealand, where he or she holds a valid temporary visa and has applied for a further temporary visa. The new type of visa is one of the changes introduced by the Immigration Act 2009.
In most cases an interim visa will be granted automatically by electronic means, and there is no fee and no visa label. People who are granted interim visas will be notified by email or by letter. The interim visa will be valid until the date a person’s application for a temporary visa is decided (up to a maximum of six months).
Whether the holder of an interim visa can work or study is shown by the conditions of the interim visa. These conditions depend on the visa he or she held previously, and the type and conditions of the visa applied for.
The New Zealand Residence Programme (NZRP) contains permanent residence goals set by Government to meet New Zealand’s ongoing skills requirements and humanitarian commitments. The number of places available to migrants for each year ending 30 June under the NZRP is reviewed by Cabinet each year.
Currently the overall NZRP is set at 45,000 - 50,000 approved places. This includes:
the Skilled/Business stream (approximately 26,900 - 29,975 places)
Parent, Adult Child and Adult Sibling policies of the Family Sponsored stream (approximately 4,950 to 5,500 places)
Partner and Dependent Child policies of the Family Sponsored stream (uncapped, estimated to be about 9,900 to 10,700 places for planning purposes), and
the International /Humanitarian stream (approximately 3,250 to 3,825 places).
