Where this leads

These Green List occupations are relevant to this programme, and each carries a defined pathway to residence. Relevant is not the same as qualifying: several engineering roles ask for an accredited undergraduate engineering degree or an Engineering New Zealand letter, which a master's does not supply. Read the requirement on the role itself.
