New Zealand Employer Certification Work Visa officially launched. How can I successfully approve?

The New Zealand Employer Certification Work Mark (AEWV) has been fully launched. It replaces the existing professional skills work permit and outstanding talent (employer) work permit. Employers will be certified to hire immigrants with AEWV work visas (AEWV visas can be valid for up to 3 years).

How to successfully obtain the "employer certification" for the loan guarantee work visa?

The Immigration Bureau made it clear that it is possible for the government to continue the review during the process of hearing the employer's application for certification or approving the employer's certification to determine whether the employer always complies with the requirements of the employer's application for certification. Now, if necessary, the Immigration Bureau will ask employers to provide proof materials and will also conduct interviews.

Conduct a "job inspection"

After obtaining the certification of the employer, the employer must conduct a post inspection for a given post. Each position corresponds to a job inspection. There are multiple positions in the same post, which can be included in the same post inspection.

There are two keys to job inspection: first, whether the salary at work is above the median (currently, it is $27/hour, and if the loan guarantees the AEWV work visa, the salary requirement is $27.76/hour, which is consistent with the new median salary gradually implemented on July 4, 2022); Whether the salary at work is within the effective salary range of the industry. Second, whether there are local people qualified for this job.

Requirements for applicants

When checking the applicant, the Immigration Bureau focuses on investigating the applicant's identity, physical and mental health, personality, job position and so on. According to ANZSCO's classification, the Immigration Bureau divides all jobs into five grades from high to low. 1 The largest grade: Cheng, Teacher, etc. Applicants must have a bachelor's degree or 5 years of work experience; Third-level vertical center: carpenter, chef, etc. , the applicant must have relevant specialties or more than 3 years working experience; At least level 5: You don't need any education and work experience, and you can enter the post through simple study and training.

Those who don't need education and work experience are generally seasonal harvesters. At this stage, the demand for harvesters in New Zealand is in short supply, and the basic salary has been adjusted to 35 New Zealand dollars an hour, but there is still no one. Friends who want to make money but are not afraid of hard work can try.

If you want to have a stable and high-paying job in New Zealand and have long-term plans, you should consider taking a vocational skills certificate so that you can get a visa without working experience.
