It is average 6.5 .. so basically your results does not need all band to be 6.5 n above... 6.5 6.5 6.5  6.0 pass as well unlike aussie u need all 7.0 minimum

if you can prove your english prof level you may not required to take ielts . i.e working in mnc and daily comm with aussie uk or nz clients..

but of course depends whether the nz authorities support your evidence.. there are some cases after interview they want you to sit for ielts

For a Msian growing up with Astro, Hitz FM, The Star in KL, 6 or 7 is nothing. You shouldn't even be allowing yourself to settle for 6 or 7. You need at least an 8 given the circumstances. Similarly for MUET, anything less than 5 is unacceptable if you grew up in a middle class family in KL.

This is an outrage when you consider the first ever English school in SEA is located in Penang. It predates both the foundation of Singapore and HK. There are also numerous Saint Blah blah Institutions throughout the country. In KL you have got SJI, MBS and VI. What those monkeys did to the country such that Msians have got to take the IELTS and be happy with a band 6 or 7 is frankly the most obscene thing that could be thought out.

you be getting additional point for AU but for NZ whether is 6.5 or 7 or 8 , you wont get additional points for NZ application.

Most important is your skillset,health, good behav and your working exp . There are more important documents/evidence required for the application instead focusing to get the ielts > 6.5 icon_rolleyes.gif

Bad news for those plan to migrate to NZ

Basically you need to get a job offer or previously you study in NZ university to get 160 points...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++==

It will now be tougher for would-be migrants to gain residency under the skilled migrant and family sponsored categories.

Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse today announced that fewer residence approvals would be planned for the next two years, with levels down to 85,000-95,000 from 90,000-100,000.

The number of points required for residence will also be raised from 140 to 160 points under the Skilled Migrant Category and the number of places for the capped family categories would be reduced to 2000 per year from 5500.

Last year, 52,052 were granted residency, up from 43,085 the previous year.

The changes were made following a review of the Government's New Zealand Residence Programme (NZRP).


The programme sets a planning range for the total number of people approved residence over a multi-year period, and determines the proportion of residence places allocated to the different residence streams.

"Increasing the points required to gain residence from 140 to 160 will moderate the growth in applications in the Skilled Migrant Category and enable us to lower the overall number of migrants gaining residence," Woodhouse said.

"Changes to the Family Category, including temporarily closing the Parent Category to new applications, will also reduce the total number of migrants being granted residence."

Around half of those approved under the residence programme came through the skilled migrant category.

Hello sir, I would like to know if I need to be have a offer letter from the employers in New Zealand before I'm able to apply for Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa?

Informative post. Thanks so much.
Mind telling how old is your children?

If married, means both husband and wife also need to submit for the application?
Or only one will do?

Regardless of IELTS, there is the practical aspect.

The accent of some NZ's can be quite difficult to follow, especially the younger generation.

Their specific twang, and specific terms like brolly and pushbikes needs a bit of getting used to.
