Over 5000 Employers In New Zealand Apply For Accreditation To Be Able To Hire Immigrant Workers

A lot of business owners in New Zealand understand the need for immigrants, especially immigrant workers. For many of them, immigrant workers are some of the best employees that they can ever employ. These individuals have proven to be reliable, flexible, and hardworking. That is why employers in New Zealand are more than happy to have them as their employees who can help with the operations and growth of their businesses.

 

However, with recent changes in the rules in the country, employers in New Zealand are required to apply for accreditation from Immigration New Zealand. Once they are approved and get accredited, that is the only time that they would be able to hire any immigrant workers. This is the newest update and a lot of employers in the country have rushed to get the accreditation that they need. This simply reflects just how important immigrant workers are in the country and to the businesses there.

 

Applications for accreditation are pouring in

 

According to the Immigration New Zealand, it has already received over 5,000 applications from employers in New Zealand. These employers are applying to get accreditation so they could continue to hire new immigrant workers to help out with their businesses. Many have even rushed to get accreditation before the opening of the Accredited Employer Work Visa route which opened just last July 4, 2022.

 

As per data on June 30, the INZ received around 5,282 applications from employers. All applications started to come in just last May 23, so this is definitely a huge number. So far, out of all the applications that the agency has received, around 3,800 have already received approval. These employers can continue to hire and employ immigrant workers. The agency continues to work through the applications until all of these have been processed.

 

The employers have been rushing to get the accreditation that they needed because the Essential Skills category for visas closed on July 3, 2022 and that means that the day after that, those employers who want to bring in immigrant workers to the country should be accredited by the INZ to be able to do that.

 

What employers need to get accreditation

 

INZ disclosed that employers should really not have a difficult time applying for accreditation because the requirements are quite easy to fulfill. They have to fill out the application form and honestly include and declare what they need to declare as required by the form. Businesses should not have had a loss for over 2 years, should have a cash flow that is positive for the last six months, should have enough investment to make sure that the business is viable, or should a two-year plan at least that is credible. Once approved, they can legally bring in immigrant workers to New Zealand and not face any repercussions.
