skilled immigration
Skilled immigrants are the largest group in the immigrant army. In addition to the way of "studying abroad → applying for a one-year open work visa after graduation → finding a technical job related to academic qualifications or work experience within one year → applying for skilled immigration", we immigrate to New Zealand through the talent plan and the silver fern visa plan.

If the situation is true and the score is correct, you will receive an "invitation letter for skilled immigrants".
