How to calculate New Zealand Skilled Immigration after 160 points?

Simply judging from the number of EOIs selected, under the current scoring structure for skilled immigrants, fewer and fewer applicants can meet the selection criteria of 160 points. This is consistent with previous predictions. The Immigration Bureau also emphasized when the new policy was released that raising the selection standards is a temporary policy.

Implementation of new policies, especially adjustments to scoring projects and structures for skilled immigrants. I believe there will be new news on the skilled immigration scoring policy in the first half or the middle of next year.

Therefore, in addition to the issue of scores, how to score and which items have extra points have become matters of concern to the general public. Among them, "extra points for working in Auckland" and "extra points for spouses" have become Hot topics in the circle of friends.

From November 1, 2015, skilled employment or a job offer outside Auckland will receive an additional 30 points when scoring skilled immigrants.

Some detailed issues regarding this bonus point require everyone’s attention:

Skilled immigrant employment must meet the minimum three-month period requirement;

If using For extra points outside Auckland, you need to stay in the position for 12 months.

The additional bonus points for the spouse category have caused a wave of singles in the circle of friends. However, carefully study the spouse bonus points policy: first, both parties need to meet the "stable spouse relationship"; secondly, the spouse himself needs to Meet or meet to a certain extent the conditions for the main applicant for skilled immigration. Therefore, simply finding a boyfriend and girlfriend to immigrate is not as easy as it seems.

And in 2016, can the above bonus points projects still be implemented according to the current policy? We can only wait for new surprises from the Immigration Bureau.
