NEW Zealand -Accredited Employer Work Visa(AEWV)

February 07, 2023

The Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) is a type of work visa in New Zealand. It is intended for individuals who have been offered a job by an accredited employer in New Zealand. Accreditation means that the employer has been recognized by the New Zealand government as having a strong record of employing migrant workers and following employment laws.

Having a job offer from an accredited employer can simplify the visa application process, as the employer can provide additional support and evidence to help with the application. However, approval of an AEWV still depends on meeting the standard visa criteria, such as health and character requirements.


The requirements for the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) in New Zealand are as follows:

  1. Job offer: The applicant must have a job offer from an accredited employer in New Zealand. The job must meet certain criteria, such as being full-time and skill-level appropriate.

  2. Accreditation: The employer must be accredited by the New Zealand government. Accreditation means that the employer has a good record of employing migrant workers and following employment laws.

  3. Health and character: The applicant must meet health and character requirements as set out by the New Zealand government. This may include providing a police certificate and undergoing a medical examination.

  4. English language: The applicant may be required to prove their English language ability, depending on the requirements of the job and the type of visa they are applying for.

  5. Qualifications and experience: The applicant must have the qualifications and experience required for the job they have been offered. This may include providing evidence of their qualifications and/or work experience.

  6. Financial: The applicant must have enough money to support themselves during their time in New Zealand. This may include demonstrating a stable income, savings or other financial support.

Note: The specific requirements for an AEWV may change over time, so it is important to check the most up-to-date information from a reliable source such as the New Zealand government's immigration website.

If you do not show that your experience meets the description in the NOC, we won’t accept your application.

Federal Skilled Trades Program applications must be made based on the 2016 version of the NOC.

Education
There is no education requirement for the Federal Skilled Trades Program. But, if you want to improve your rank in the Express Entry pool, there are 2 ways you can do this.
  • If you went to school in Canada, you can get points for a certificate, diploma or degree from a Canadian:
  • ·         secondary (high school) or
  • ·         post-secondary school

OR
  • If you have foreign education, you can get points for:
  • ·         a completed foreign credential, and

Where you can live in Canada
You must plan to live outside the province of Quebec. The province of Quebec selects its own skilled workers. If you plan on living in Quebec, see Quebec-selected skilled workers for more information.

Get assessed by the province or territory
You will likely have to go to the province or territory to be assessed for your trade. You may also need an employer in Canada to give you experience and training.
To learn more about getting assessed, you should go to the website of the body that governs trades for the province/territory where you would like to live and work. The process is different depending on where you want to go.
Each website has more details about certificates of qualification to work in that province or territory in a specific skilled trade, and what you have to do to get one.
If your trade is not regulated by a province or territory (for example, airplane mechanic), it may be federally regulated. You can find out who regulates your trade by visiting The Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials website.
