新西兰移民局的数据显示,在过去的六个月中,技术移民申请的数量下降了近五成。看来,160分的门槛是申请数量骤降的主要因素。前新西兰移民部长认为,新的技术移民打分门槛将会迫使申请数量降低5%。显然,即使移民局已经把收入门槛提升到每小时23.5纽币,前移民部长也没有预料到申请数量会下降五成这样的结果。
相较每年45000例的移民数量,预计到这个财政年结束之前,移民申请可能要减少20000例。
然而,往好的方向看,新的技术移民政策有一些非常积极的政策变化。这篇文章将详细阐述其中的第一点。
长期以来,新西兰移民局和移民者就技能等级2和3的工作职责区分存在着非常严重的分歧。新西兰移民局认为许多移民者不能胜任他们的工作,因为这些工作属于技术职业列表(SOL)的C列表。最终,这些满腔怨忿的移民者不得不向移民保护法庭提起上诉,劳民又伤财。
新政策取消了OCL和其相关的签证政策。如今,所有C列表下,技能等级3及以上的工作将于技能等级1和2一样平等处理。
厨师 vs 主厨 许多移民者在登陆到新西兰时放弃了他们原来的职业,转而从事主厨的工作,然而新西兰移民局并不承认他们的工作能被认定为主厨,因为他们的工作职责中不包括制定菜单和计算食物成本。在新的政策下,这种工作之间的差距将不复存在。
记账员 vs 会计师 新西兰移民局经常对新西兰职业列表(ANZSCO)的职位描述审核得相当严苛,从而得出的结论是这些申请人所申请的会计师的岗位更像是普通的记账员,因为他们的工作职责并没有涉及咨询服务,而主要负责记账以及评估金融交易。而这一次,两种工作之间的差别在新移民政策下变得无足轻重。
呼叫中心团队领导 vs 客户服务经理 在评估客户服务工作职责的政策中,新西兰移民局似乎对客户服务经理的职责存在疑义。然而,这些质疑在新政策下都显得没有意义了。
在我的下一篇文章中,我会详细阐释新技术移民政策将会如何吸引技能水平更高以及更富有经验的移民者移民新西兰,而非吸引初出茅庐的毕业生们。
REVIEW ON THE NEW RESIDENCY RULES INZ Statistics show nearly 50% drop in the number of the skilled migrants applying for residency in the last six months. Undoubtedly, the selection threshold of 160 points was the catalyst for the dramatic reduction. The former Minister of Immigration believed the new selection threshold might drop the numbers by 5%. No doubt the former Minister of Immigration couldn’t see this coming when he tightened the rule even further with the income threshold of $23.50. By the end of the financial year, it is projected that there will be a shortfall of around 20,000 less than the annual residence forecast of 45,000. Looking at the bright side, however, it is worthwhile noting some positive changes for the skilled migrants to qualify for residency. This article examines the first of those.
Historically, there had been a running battle between INZ and the migrants as to the fine line distinctions between those jobs at skill level 2 and the less skilled jobs at skill level 3. INZ found a number of migrants not qualified as their jobs turned out to be a less skilled job which belonged to Part C of the “Skilled Occupation List (OCL).” Eventually, many of those unhappy migrants ended up appealing the decisions to Immigration Protection Tribunal, causing time and money.
The new rule scrapped the OCL and the associated visa instructions. Now, all Part C occupations at skill level 3 or above are treated equally as those at skill level 1 and 2. The following examples demonstrate the significance of the change.
Cooks vs Chefs Many migrants ditched their career path when migrated to New Zealand and became chefs only to see INZ not acknowledging their jobs as they didn’t involve planning menu or calculating food costs. Under the new rule, such a distinction is no longer necessary.
Bookkeepers vs Accountants INZ often erred on the side of literally and soullessly applying the ANZSCO description and concluded that the accountants were more like bookkeepers because the jobs lacked the advisory functions and were mainly responsible for maintaining and evaluating the financial transactions. Again, this distinction has become no longer relevant under the new skilled migrant policy.
Call centre team leaders vs Customer service managers INZ also seems to have struggled with its perception of customer service managers when evaluating the evidence of planning and reviewing the customer service strategies and policies. Again, the distinction has become a moot point.
In my next article, I will attempt to demonstrate how the new skilled migrant policies were designed to attract more skilled and experienced migrants rather than the recent graduates with limited skillset and experience.
