JAMMU, Feb 6: If an Indian student wants to study in New Zealand to work and live to start a new life in that country then trusted, professional immigration advice and service is required from a licensed immigration adviser.
This was informed by Brett Muir, International Marketing Manager from Bay of Plenty Polytechnic, Tauranga, New Zealand while providing consultancy here today. He was accompanied by Amar Manchanda, Founder Director – AIMS GLOBAL Education and New Zealand Licensed Immigration Adviser. They came to Jammu and conducted a free seminar and interview sessions with the prospective students who wish to go to New Zealand to study, work and live.
The seminar was conducted at the office of The Horizons, Redefining Education, Gandhi Nagar, Jammu, which is being operated by Ishpal Singh, Director.
Brett Muir said that students who are interested in studying in New Zealand, with a plan to stay and work there beyond graduation need to plan accordingly in order to succeed and achieve their big goals. It is particularly important that they stay focused on choosing qualifications and courses that will make themselves attractive to employers when they graduate from their qualifications.
Students were informed that if they study for a New Zealand university bachelor degree at the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic, they would graduate with more than one qualification, and also become eligible for a full time work visa – making them much more likely to gain the offer of full time employment.
Mr Manchanda said there is a List of Qualifications Exempt from Assessment for immigration purposes only and the same is available on www.immigration.govt.nz.
He said it was illegal for a person to provide ‘immigration advice’ without a license, unless they are exempt. Anyone can find a full list of the persons who are exempt on website-www.iaa.govt.nz, he added.
The Horizons is working in business association with Amar Manchanda for Jammu area and students are getting free consultancy about study abroad from them, said Ishpal Singh.
