New Zealand has announced the expansion of its Immigration
Green List to include 17 critical occupations to address skills shortages,
stimulate economic growth, and compete globally for skilled workers.
The move, announced by Immigration Minister Andrew Little, will give people working in these 17 new jobs across several industries a quick route to residency. The action aims to strengthen the workforce in the country and promote economic growth around the world.
Employers in industries including engineering, automotive,
and information technology will have access to Green List visas when looking
for specialized talent that isn't available among New Zealand workers.
The newly incorporated occupation includes,
1 Prison guards
2 Welders
3 Aviation engineers
4 Database administrators
5 Panel beaters
6 Road roller operators
7 Vehicle painters
8 Aircraft maintenance engineers
9 Corrections officers
10 Fitter and turners
11 Fitter generals
12 Fitter-welders
13 ICT database administrators
14 Mechanical engineering technicians
15 Metal fabricators
16 Metal machinists first class
17 Naval architects
The government's decision to expand the Green List of
occupations will likely increase immigration to New Zealand, which is already
increasing. The Treasury Department cautions that this additional demand could
exacerbate inflationary pressure. Employers will have access to a larger
trained workforce thanks to the predicted reduction in labor market pressure,
which could result in higher earnings and improved working conditions.
