Immediate Skill Shortage List (ISSL) biannual review
Friday, June 12, 2009
The biannual review of the ISSL, which is administered by the Department of Labour, sees 44 occupations removed from the list. The list comprises occupations deemed to be in immediate short term shortage in the New Zealand labour market.
The removal of the occupations from the list is the result of extensive consultation with industry groups, other stakeholders and relevant government agencies.
Removal of occupations from the ISSL does not mean employers cannot recruit migrants in those occupations. An employer can demonstrate genuine attempts to recruit a suitable New Zealander, as is the process with all other occupations. If, after the labour market is tested, Immigration New Zealand is satisfied no suitable New Zealanders are available in that location then temporary work permits will still be granted.
Occupations which were identified as readily trainable and those for which New Zealanders may be available were prioritised for review, to ensure opportunities for New Zealanders.
The occupations being removed from the ISSL with effect from Monday 15 June 2009 are:
* Agricultural and Horticultural Mobile Plant Operator
* Autoglazier
* Baker
* Bicycle Mechanic
* Binder and Finisher (Perfect Binder)
* Binder and Finisher (Print Finisher)

| bad news. after all the trouble getting here, permits may not be renewed if professional registration for some careers are not acquired before existing work permits expire. i know a lot of professionals like nurses and dentists and doctors are working here in underpaid jobs as health care or dental assistants while they try to get their professional registration. ano ba yan! nakakapikon. madaming mapapauwi? eh ang hirap hirap to get here, magastos, some may have nothing to go back to. |

Im sorry I cannot sympathise with these people because these are the very same people who enjoyed the luxuries in life whilst they were still in the Philippines. With their relatively higher income than most (around 90%) of Filipinos, I think they have a good life in the Philippines. Now that they are in New Zealand, they now have to feel how the approx. 90% Filipinos felt back in the Philippnes whilst the upper 10% live the life that the rest could only dream of.
MOreover, coming here in NZ is their rational choice... so they bear the outcome. |
