Migration Associates Comments:
In this selection the INZ have moved away from keeping the points score at 110 points without needing an offer of skilled employment. Applicants will now need to either claim more than 140 points, have an offer of skilled employment or claim additional points for work experience and qualifications in an area of absolute skills shortage to obtain residency under the Skilled Migrant Category.
