The 2004-2005 fiscal yr of NZIS has just ended (June 30,2005). The NZ govt was able to meet their immigration quota. Their 45K target was reached this year. Umabot pa nga ng 48,815. Almost 60% nito ang nasa Skilled Migrant Category (SMC). Ang ibang categories ay refugee, family and business. Dahil wala kaming milyones na pampuhunan o kamag-anak na mag-i-sponsor, dun kami kasama sa SMC.
Year 2003-2004 was not a good year. 45K din ang quota but only 39,017 were granted. Panong hindi magkakaganon eh binago nila yung systema nung Dec 2003. Ready na kaming mag-apply noon pero the points was unbelievable. 195 pts ang kailangan noong nag-open ito nang Feb 2004. Bumababa naman ang points kada buwan. Ngayon nasa 100pts na lang.
After the EOI has been selected, applicants wait for the ITA pack. Nung time namin, 3 months na hintayan lang yon (now it’s 9 months). After submitting the ITA pack, interview na ang kasunod. Hataw sa pag-i-interview ang Bangkok mula March to May 2004. Pati nga yung mga empleyado sa Beijing eh inimport na nila. Naku, pahirapan ang pagpa-pa-move ng interview sked kung natapat sa araw na di ka pwede. Kaya pala ganon ang siste, they were trying to beat the deadline or else kulang na naman ang migrants nila. There was hardly any interview in June 2004. Ito kasi siguro yung time para i-process nila lahat ng info obtained from the interview. Wagi naman ang efforts sila, pasok sila sa quota.
July na ngayon, bagong taong na para sa kanila. They have a slow start, siguro recovering pa from the previous yr’s exhaustion. It is only now that they are inviting applicants for August interview. This is good news to many pinoys I know. Marami dyang ilang bwan ng kakaba-kaba. At least now things are moving. Good luck to you all
