This paper introduces the process of emigrating to New Zealand, hoping to help international students.
New Zealand has three immigration status: resident (PR), permanent resident (IRRV) and citizen. New Zealand is the best choice for people who want to obtain permanent resident status but don't want to stay overseas for a long time.
Successful application: PR-> 2-year immigration supervision-> IRRV-& gt； Three years of immigration supervision-> Citizens. Let's take a look at the specific process of immigration to New Zealand.
1, requirements (self-assessment)
Applicants can conduct self-evaluation before submitting EOI, and the basis is 100.
2. letter of intent (EOI).
All those who submit EOI applications online must first register an account, and then they can log in to the account center to check and track the changes in the trial status.
EOI is selected every two weeks. Among them, applications with scores above 140 will be automatically selected, and applications with scores between 100 and 140 will be selected from high to low according to the five sorting principles.
Applicants who are not selected will stay on the list of candidates and wait for the next opportunity to select candidates. If an application is not selected within six months, the application will automatically become invalid. Applicants can submit a new EOI application to the Immigration Bureau and wait for the opportunity to choose. Of course, submitting an EOI application again requires a new fee.
3. Decision success (DS, successful selection)
After selecting EOI, the application status will be changed to "Decision Successful". Every two weeks, the Immigration Bureau extracts EOI submitted by applicants from all over the world according to the set standards, and then the Immigration Bureau arranges EO(EOI officials) of relevant branches to evaluate and conduct relevant investigations according to the geographical location of the applicants, mainly to investigate the authenticity of the relevant information of the applicants. If EO judges that the applicant is qualified to submit his immigration application according to the applicant's situation, it will send an invitation ITA(invite to Apply) to the applicant, and the EOI status of the applicant will be updated to DS.
It is worth mentioning that there is a waiting period between choosing EOI and sending out the invitation letter ITA. The length of the waiting period mainly depends on your branch, the number of backlog cases and the applicant's own conditions. Generally, the processing speed does not exceed 3 months, and the ITA invitation letter will be sent in 1-2 weeks at the earliest, but about 30% of the applicants will experience a long and painful waiting period, sometimes more than half a year, usually because the applicants hold a job Offer and will face preliminary verification. This investigation is mainly completed by VO (verification officer). The preliminary investigation of VO may be a telephone investigation or a door-to-door investigation, mainly to check the authenticity of the work. It takes 1-2 weeks to write the report after the investigation. Only after the Ethics Office receives the preliminary evaluation report of the volunteer organization will the interim evaluation report be issued. Generally speaking, the results will be announced within 2-3 weeks after the Ethics Office receives the PAR. Of course, EO may also ask you to further supplement the materials halfway (SEP2 above). If it takes longer than the normal trial speed (> 3 months), the applicant can contact EO to inquire about the progress.
4. Application invitation letter (ITA).
The ITA received by the Immigration Bureau (whether by mail or by post) shows that the applicant has reached the requirements of the current skilled migration policy, and ITA represents a staged victory! The applicant will enter the formal skilled migration trial procedure, and the ITA invitation letter is valid for four months, so the applicant must collect and submit the formal immigration application form and related materials as complete as possible according to the specific requirements in ITA within four months. If the materials are not submitted for more than 4 months, the ITA invitation will automatically become invalid, and the applicant needs to go back to the first step to submit EOI.
5. Send an application (submit a formal application)
All branches of Immigration New Zealand can submit materials, which will be distributed to different departments.
6. Applications received (AR, materials received)
After receiving the application form and related materials submitted by the applicant, the Immigration Bureau will handle it centrally by DT (Document Team), which will take about one week. DT's job is mainly responsible for inputting your case into the computer for registration and filing, and verifying the integrity of the materials. All the materials of the applicant will be copied and the originals will be returned to the applicant (part of them will be returned after the trial). If everything is correct, the applicant's status will change from ITA to AR. After AR, the Immigration Bureau will deduct the application fee (New Zealand 18 10NZD, depending on the branches for overseas applications). At the same time, you will receive an email from the immigration office telling you the application number and the time of AR.
AR also means that your materials are transferred from DT back to your branch. After receiving the materials, the branch will queue your case and assign it to the CO (case officer).
At this point, all the follow-up work will be completed by your CO, and the final decision will be made. Co will be the one who decides your fate.
7. Comprehensive evaluation (comprehensive survey)
After AR, it entered the comprehensive evaluation stage and entered a long waiting period, ranging from a few weeks to 1 year. The trial speed also depends on your branch, the backlog of cases, the efficiency of CO (some CO often take vacations, and your case will be enlarged) and the applicant's own conditions. It is generally believed that the higher the score, the slower the trial speed. The higher the score means that the more bonus modules are involved, and the audit work will naturally be much more.
Because there is a lot of work to be done in the comprehensive evaluation, involving work inspection, medical inspection, safety inspection, police permission, external inspection, internal inspection and so on. The investigation is mainly conducted by VO (inspectors) alone or jointly by multiple departments, and the investigation methods may be varied, including telephone survey, questionnaire survey, door-to-door survey and so on. During the trial, any problem will cause the CO to ask you to supplement the materials or make explanations, so whether your materials are fully prepared will directly affect the trial speed of your case.
8. Second person check (SPC).
This is the final stage of the trial. At this time, the whole case trial has been completed, and the CO submits it to the superior team leader for approval, which is generally signed by the manager. This process usually takes 1 day to 3 months, and the results will come soon! After SPC, as long as there is no big problem, it will be approved.
9. Approval in principle (AIP).
AIP, you are finished! After receiving the confirmation from the manager, the company approved your application in principle. In principle, the applicant will receive this approval letter, requesting to submit the passport and pay the immigration tax. After you put a label on your passport, you will become a New Zealand resident.
10, Returning Resident Visa (PRV).
RRV, known as PR (Resident Status), welcomes you as a new immigrant. This visa is valid for 2 years and can be renewed after expiration. Applicants who have lived in New Zealand for 184 days every year within two years after PR can apply for IRRV (indefinite return resident visa), that is, permanent visa, also known as permanent resident. IRRV is a real green card. No matter how long you leave New Zealand, you are still a permanent resident of New Zealand.

The occupations that men often choose are:
1. Gas station oilers generally require three shifts;
2. The clerk or cashier in the supermarket requires a certain level of English;
3. Dishwashers, food delivery workers and delivery workers in restaurants generally require the delivery workers to have cars. Fortunately, you can buy a second-hand car with SGD 1000-2000, which won't be an obstacle;
4. Unskilled or low-skilled workers in factories;
In addition, there are newspaper couriers and salesmen.
The occupations that women often choose are:
1. The lady who ordered in the restaurant and the lady who served the cart in the restaurant. Since more than 80% restaurants are run by Hong Kong people, it is easier to find such a job with a little knowledge of Cantonese. Its salary is between 1500-2000 Singapore dollars;
2. If your English level is limited, you can work as a female worker in a clothing factory with an hourly salary of S $ 7-8;
3. My English is good, and I can apply for a cashier in a supermarket, with a monthly salary of about S $2,000.
During the employment period, you can protect your rights and interests according to the New Zealand Labor Law and the provincial employment standards laws. If you are treated unfairly, you can complain to the local government department. At the same time, the speed of personal adaptability is also one of the factors for new immigrants to find jobs.
