Immigration Latest Update
Monday 15th June 09 sees the removal of 44 occupations from the Immediate Skills Shortage List (ISSL) The removal of these occupations does not mean employers cannot recruit migrants in those occupations. An employer can demonstrate genuine attempts to recruit a suitable New Zealander, as is the process with all other occupations. If, after the labour market is tested, Immigration New Zealand is satisfied no suitable New Zealanders are available in that location then temporary work permits will still be granted. Further information and a complete list of the occupations that have been removed can be found here.
We are now online at Facebook, and highly recommend joining the SINZASA Group. This is another opportunity to get in touch with your fellow countrymen, and keep abreast with upcoming functions that we are hosting.
