Points System Mein Bhi Aaye Changes: NZ Work Experience Ka Time Ghat Gaya!
SMC points system ko bhi update kiya gaya hai. Sabse badi khabar yeh hai ki ab New Zealand mein kaam ka anubhav (work experience) ka time ghataa diya gaya hai. Pehle maximum 3 saal ka experience point ke liye zaroori tha, ab woh ghatakar maximum 2 saal kar diya gaya hai. Isse aapko jaldi points mil jayenge aur PR ki application jaldi lodge kar sakte hain.
Niche diye table se aap easily compare kar sakte hain:
| Points | Current (Purane) Rules | NZ Work Exp for 6 Points | New (Naye) Rules | NZ Work Exp for 6 Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | PhD, 6 saal ki registration, ya 3x median wage | Work Exp ki zaroorat nahi | PhD ya NZ Masters, 6 saal ki registration, ya 3x median wage | Work Exp ki zaroorat nahi |
| 5 | Masters Degree ya 5 saal ki registration | 1 Saal | Masters (outside NZ), NZ Bachelor's, PG Diploma/Certificate ya 5 saal ki registration | 1 Saal |

| 3 | Bachelor's Degree, PG Certificate, 2 saal ki registration, ya 1.5x median wage | 3 Saal | 2 saal ki registration, ya 1.5x median wage | 2 Saal |
| - | Wage Check: Application ke time pe bhi zyada salary honi thi | - | Wage Check: Ye condition hat gayi hai. Bas poora NZ work experience same median wage pe hona chahiye. | - |
Kya Kuch Aur Bhi Badla? Haan!
- NZ Qualifications Ko Zyada Points: New Zealand ke universities se ki hui padhai (qualifications) ko ab points system mein zyada importance di jayegi. Isse international students ko PR mein help milegi.
- Overseas Qualification: Agar aap overseas qualification ke points le rahe hain, toh uski NZQA se International Qualification Assessment (IQA) karna ya fir exemption list mein hona zaroori hai.
- Red & Amber List: Kuch occupations ko "Red List" aur "Amber List" mein rakha gaya hai. Red List ke occupations in naye pathways par apply nahi kar sakte. Amber List ke liye kuch extra conditions hongi.
Yeh saari changes government ki "Going for Growth" program ka hissa hain, jiska maksedd New Zealand ki economy ko strong karna hai.
