Your Ad Here	Working while you study If you are studying in New Zealand, you must not work unless allowed to do so by the New Zealand Immigration Service. You may apply for authority to work under the following circumstances: (a) to fulfil course requirements (b) up to 20 hours per week for tertiary students undertaking a long term course of study (c) during the Christmas and New Year holiday period (d) on completing your course of study or (e) as a postgraduate student.
If you have a student permit, you may be granted a work permit or a variation of your student permit to allow you to gain practical experience on completion of a three-year course, or over the summer vacation. Before a certificate can be awarded for some courses, for example, New Zealand Certificate courses on Advanced Vocational Awards, you must do three year's work experience related to your courses work.
The training provider will try to help you find suitable employment. There is some flexibility on how this employment may be obtained. For example, the possibility of suitable work post-education or the possibility of its being done in your home country, under qualified supervision. If your spouse wishes to work while you are in New Zealand an application must be made through the New Zealand Immigration Service. No definite assurances can be given on whether an application to work will be successful. This depends on whether there are any unemployed New Zealand residents who can do the job which has been offered.	Your Ad Here

Medical insurance is strongly recommended for those doing courses taking less than two years.

Your medical and x-ray certificate must not be more than three months old at the time your application is lodged. You must be of an acceptable standard of health. This is to ensure that you are: (a) not likely to be in danger to public health. (b) not likely to be a burden on the health services (c) fit for the purposes of entry. Education system in New Zealand and what are the educational qualifications secured in India accepted in New Zealand?*

In New Zealand a student goes through primary school followed by a stint in secondary school. Higher education leaves an individual the choice of either joining polytechnics for degrees, diplomas and certificates or directly joining a university for degrees, postgraduate diplomas, masters degrees or doctorates. New Zealand has an international reputation as a seat of quality education. Most Indian qualifications are acceptable subject to a review by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority and on fulfilling of English language requirements.

Are there occupations that are on a priority list? No. Most professionals, graduates, postgraduates, technically skilled persons, diploma holders have an excellent opportunity to settle down in New Zealand. There are some occupations for which you would need prior registration before you apply for immigration.

Almost all professions such as accountants, computer professionals, doctors, engineers, teachers, hotel professionals, management professionals and sports persons etc. are in demand in New Zealand.

Is it possible to land a job before arriving in New Zealand? "Normally, a New Zealand employer would like to meet a job aspirant personally before making a job offer. It would be a rare chance to obtain a job before one arrives in New Zealand. The immigration policy gives you five extra points if you have a job offer but obtaining a job offer is not very easy."
