新西兰技术移民-雅思豁免

新西兰签证与移民 新西兰技术移民
1

目前在新西兰技术移民的路上。由于我有5年的海外工作经历（3年非洲，2年中东），申请雅思豁免是否可行。如果可以豁免，需要提供什么证明材料？阿联酋、苏丹这样的工作经验是否可以被认可？

下面是移民局给我回的邮件：
Dear Victor,

Thank you for your email. We apologise for the length of time it has taken us to respond to you.

If you have work experience in English-speaking environments and have proof of this, you can show this as evidence of your ability. You can also provide evidence of achieving a qualification taught in English.

Please note that the Immigration Officer can consider the information, but may still require that you provide a new IELTS result.

新西兰技术移民豁免雅思里有一项是关于你的工作环境是否是英语的。

the nature of the applicant’s current or previous employment (if any) and whether that is or was likely to require skill in English language;

如果可以证明你的工作环境里基本都是讲英语的人，日常工作都是用英语沟通（包括书面的和口头的），从而让移民官认为你的英语日常工作和生活都没有任何问题，就有可能豁免。

移民官还会综合考虑其他情况的，一般来说这种情况豁免的可能性小，提供材料也比较麻烦，英语没问题的话不如直接考个雅思来的简便。

SM5.5 Minimum standard of English language for principal applicants

  1. Applications under the Skilled Migrant Category must be declined if the principal applicant has not met the minimum standard of English.
  2. Principal applicants under the Skilled Migrant Category meet the minimum standard of English if they provide a Test Report Form (no more than 2 years old at the time the application is lodged) from the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), showing they achieved an overall band score of at least 6.5 in the IELTS General or Academic Module.
  3. Notwithstanding (b) above, an immigration officer may, on a case by case basis, consider the following as evidence of the principal applicant meeting the minimum standard of English if:
    1. they provide evidence that their recognised qualification(s):
      • was gained as a result of a course or courses of study in which English was the only medium of instruction; and
      • (if that qualification was gained in New Zealand) the qualification had a minimum completion time of at least two years and is at least a bachelor degree or it is a post-graduate qualification and the applicant has an undergraduate qualification that qualifies for points; or
    2. they have current skilled employment in New Zealand for a period of at least 12 months that qualifies for points (see “SM7 Skilled employment”)); or
    3. they provide other evidence which satisfies an immigration officer that, taking account of that evidence and all the circumstances of the application, they are a competent user of English. These circumstances may include but are not limited to:
      • the country in which the applicant currently resides;
      • the country(ies) in which the applicant has previously resided;
      • the duration of residence in each country;
      • whether the applicant speaks any language other than English;
      • whether members of the applicant’s family speak English;
      • whether members of the applicant’s family speak any language other than English;
      • the nature of the applicant’s current or previous employment (if any) and whether that is or was likely to require skill in English language;
      • the nature of the applicant’s qualifications (if any) and whether the obtaining of those qualifications was likely to require skill in the English language.
  4. In any case, an immigration officer may require an applicant to provide an IELTS certificate in terms of paragraph (b). In such cases, the IELTS certificate will be used to determine whether the principal applicant* meets the minimum standard of English.
