Such a great lineup of presenters and excellent topics. A lot of good for thought when interacting with clients. Mental health support, those facing deportation and a fascinating look at Gender dynamics in partnership visas. Great connections with other industry professionals is always a bonus. Looking forward the the afternoon session.

🇳🇿 Not sure if your job qualifies for Job Check, AEWV or SMC Residence? Let's find out — for just $50.

Here's something a lot of visa applicants and employers don't realise: your job title on paper isn't what Immigration NZ looks at. It's your actual day-to-day duties.

Get the wrong occupation match, and your whole application — Job Check, AEWV, or SMC Residence — can be at risk.

That's why we created the Position Description Report.

For $50, we'll give you:
✅ An ANZSCO/NOL occupation match — assessed the way INZ actually assesses it.
✅ A duties review of what you really do, not just your job title.
✅ A written skill level confidence report you can rely on.
✅ Clarity on your visa pathway eligibility.

One clear report. Real clarity. Before you commit to a visa pathway.

👉 Don't guess your skill level — know it.

Start with ANZSCO — classify the role correctly first!

One of the most fundamental parts of any Skilled Migrant Category assessment is identifying the correct ANZSCO occupation and skill level.

This is not simply a matter of choosing a job title.

The role must be assessed against the relevant ANZSCO occupation description, including the tasks performed, the level at which those tasks are carried out, and whether there is a substantial match overall.

Once the ANZSCO classification is established, the practitioner and client can properly assess:

- which SMC pathway may be available;
- the applicable wage threshold or multiplier;
- whether the occupation appears on the Red, Amber, or Trades - and Technician lists; and
- how skilled work experience may be counted.

A wrong classification at the beginning can affect every assessment that follows.

For practitioners, employers and HR professionals needing a faster and more structured way to assess roles, visit www.nznol.co.nz.

Classify first. Assess the pathway second.

Know your "lock-in" SMC Wage Threshold and when you can start claiming skilled work experience. Without this, work experience isn't counted. Feel free to reach out.
