Lokking for info on immigreating to new zealand?
Hiya, if you look on the immigration Newzealand website they normally have a jobs shortage list that they will take people from so if he has worked in fabrication he may get accepted, i think they usually do a ballot or a points based system. On the other hand the two of you could apply for working holiday visas to see if you like it first and if he gets into a job where they are able to "sponsor" him once his original visa runs out he may be able to stay on in New Zealand. Take a look at the different visas available , im from new zealand myself and my partner and i are currently working on a de facto relationship visa as he is from the U.K Hope this helps , take a look at the website below thats where we got most of our info from, they also have online assessments
Why aren't there many people immigrating to New Zealand?
Bear in mind that New Zealand has a small population in comparison to the countries that you have mentioned. As a result, we have a smaller yearly quota for approval of immigrant applications.Also bear in mind that it is not easy to qualify for residence in New Zealand. Applicants are approved using a points system, which is based on age, qualifications, work experience, whether they have an offer of employment from a New Zealand company and whether the applicant’s specific skills are in demand in New Zealand. Applicants need to achieve a minimum pass mark on the points system to qualify.Currently the demand for immigration to New Zealand is the highest it has been in many years, but the government regulates the number of immigrants (keeping the number of approvals per year relative constant) by simply hiking the pass mark upwards in times of high demand and dropping it lower at times of lower demand. This means that, during times of high demand like currently, only the “cream of the crop” are skimmed from the top of the list of applicants.In addition to the demand being higher than usual, our property and job search web sites report a hike in searches from people in the UK following the Brexit vote, and from people in the U.S. following the success of Trump in the U.S. election campaign.To answer your question, the interest in immigration to New Zealand is very high indeed. However, we have a small quota and not many people qualify.

Plan Plan Plan. Can you visit NZ do you like the look of the place when you arrive? Can you do a working holiday here? Don't come here without lots of money to help you during the first few months. The other question is why is your family so negative about coming here? Are you required to remain at home and support them in their old age?
Which province is easy to immigrate in New Zealand?
Thanks for the A2A. As the others have already said, New Zealand abolished the provincial system in 1877. These provinces are now called regions. We have local and regional governing bodies but no federal system of states and provinces unlike Australia, Canada, and the United States.In terms of immigration and economic growth, most of the migrants head to the major cities such as Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Immigration New Zealand has a webpage with information on the different regions of New Zealand and the various economic opportunities available there.[1] Auckland right now has a housing shortage since it is the gateway for migrants entering NZ. The government has sought to encourage migration to other regions particularly the South Island by giving migrants extra points.[2]It’s hard to give a direct answer since you have not specified what line of career you are looking for. New Zealand’s economy is based primarily on agriculture, horticulture, and services such as tourism and education. If you are looking for manufacturing jobs, we have a negligible manufacturing base. We also have a shortage of skilled workers in certain industries such as agriculture, forestry, construction, health and services, science, hospitality, and the trades. Canterbury in particularly has a chronic demand for people specializing in construction, engineering, trades, and ICT. [3]One way to determine if there are work opportunities available in New Zealand for you is to check the Skill Shortage List Checker – Immigration New Zealand. Hope this helps.Footnotes[1] New Zealand Regions | Immigration NZ | New Zealand Now[2] Points Indicator for Skilled Migrant Expression of Interest[3] Key Industries | Work in New Zealand | New Zealand Now
How good is New Zealand for an unskilled immigrant?
A2AUnfortunately I would have to agree with all other answers here. While there might be jobs you can work on, getting a visa to come in at the first place without being on the skilled migrants list is never going to be easy.While NZ isn't strictly qualifications mad, work experiences in relevant fields are very preferable. If you are totally unskilled with no experience, even with valid visa, you are going to struggle. You may get seasonal work, but they are not reliable. Your best scenario would at the right place at the right time, but as we are a small country, you shouldn't count on chances of that happening, either. You are also going to be vulnerable in the job market.I went into your Quora profile and all I have seen are questions re immigration to other countries. The likelihood of getting a visa alone on being an unskilled personal is very low , unless you can claim one though partnership or marriage. The possibility of getting a job while you here is slightly higher by comparison, but overall too risky to change countries for it.By the way, if your profile photo is anythjng indicative of your personal belief( pic of a shirt saying ‘ make money not friends ‘ ), you wouldn't be very welcomed by people in New Zealand. We prefer people to fit in, or at the very least, bother and take advantages of no one.
How do I calculate new Zealand immigration points?
You need a total of at least 100 points to enter an Expression of Interest to work in New Zealand under the Skilled Migrant category. More points is obviously better, as will give you a higher chance of success. Points are awarded depending on your age, family status, employment status in New Zealand (i.e. do you have a job offer), area of expertise and qualifications, and a few bonus point categories. For example, you can get an extra 10 points for basing yourself outside the Auckland region - this is a new bonus point category. You can calculate how many points you currently have on the Immigration New Zealand website: Points
