The skilled migrant category in NZ utilises a points-based method for evaluating potential immigrants' levels of expertise and making immigration decisions. An experienced migrant category was established with the intention of luring and retaining individuals who will make a positive contribution to the expansion of New Zealand's economy. Applicants must satisfy a number of requirements in order to be considered for selection under the experienced migrant category. Such requirements include their age, their ability to communicate in English, their level of work experience, and their level of qualifications. Each of these aspects will earn you a certain amount of points, and you need a certain minimum score to be considered for this opportunity.
