Quota Winners, One-On-One With NZ Immigration

Written by Pio Sioa
Thursday, 17 July 2008
Immigration Manager Patsy Ah-Ching The Apia office of Immigration New Zealand are asking all successful registrants in the latest Samoa Quota ballots to come see them for individual consultations. This differs from past years where clients were invited to seminars to talk about how to put their residence applications together. Immigration Manager Patsy Ah-Ching says it’s a ‘customised service’ approach. “Every client will get a case manager,” says Mrs Ah-Ching. “These officers will be responsible for seeing clients individually to explain their letters inviting them to apply for residence, and to complete their English assessments,” says Mrs Ah-Ching. “It also means that we are able to get people’s professional profiles ready for employers coming to recruit from New Zealand.” Mrs Ah-Ching says it’s important to understand that professional profiles are about people’s skills. So even if people haven’t been in paid employment – caring for family, working in the plantation and having a role in the church are all important skills. “And some of these skills are seen as valuable in New Zealand,” she says. “So we encourage people to give us as much information as possible and to think about all unpaid work when they come in.” Immigration New Zealand is currently engaging with employers from New Zealand to be able to offer jobs to those who were successful in the ballot. This year 7337 ‘principal registrants’ were registered which made a total of 17558 registrants when families were added. Principal registrants are the main applicants for each family.

Mrs Cheryl Neemia written by CHERYL NEEMIA, July 18, 2008 I have been trying for years to get Anthony Leve to come out to Australia, ever since his mother passed away 10 years ago ane his father left to remarry in the USA. Each time we apply for him we fail,he has been working in town of Apia and he works on the planition l will do any think to help him to come to Australia and work he is a kid that never had a chance and we want to give him that chance. Don't Know about you, but this Immigration Policy written by Hey Man, July 18, 2008 Samoa needs to review the Immigration status and policy to all countries. Government to Government talks needs to re-establish Human Rights issues with Immigration and Quota's. The Word Quota is so slavery driven, last Samoan on the boat please keep rowing. I see Reforms in this area of Samoa policy and needs revisit. Why is it a Quota? Do we Quota N.Z Citizens and such? Is their a need for reform based on performance linked. For instance, when a proffesor from Samoa immigrates to New Zealand is he part of the quota? And if so, why? Is he not a productive member of Samoan Society? or is the Immigration policy one of preference and or racist? What if a business man with a bank account immigrates to New Zealand, is he then not a productive member of the N.Z society and if he invest his monies in N.Z and creates jobs for N.Z citizens, is he/she declared a Quota? ... written by Cilla, July 20, 2008 You can find the ballot winners at www.immigration.govt.nz/sq Regards Write comment Name Email Title Comment
