NEWS: 17 JULY 2024
Migrant school leavers to get part-time work rights
Erica Stanford
HON ERICA STANFORD
Immigration
The coalition Government is providing migrant school leavers with greater opportunities, by increasing access to part-time work rights for those awaiting the outcome of a family residence application, Immigration Minister Erica Stanford has announced.
“Many young people who are part of a residence application process are unable to work. They can remain on visitor visas for long periods of time because they can’t afford international student fees and can’t qualify for a skilled work visa.
“As I said while in Opposition, this is a critical time in any young person’s life. We want to ensure that migrants aged 17-24 who are onshore, have completed secondary school and applied for residence can continue to contribute and live a meaningful life in New Zealand.”
To be eligible to apply for work rights, migrants must:
Be an applicant on an already-lodged residence visa or Dependent Child Residence Visa application; and
Hold an eligible visitor visa and be a dependent child of a Work Visa holder or New Zealand citizen/resident; and
Be aged 17 and have completed high school, or aged 18 to 24 years old (inclusive).
If eligible, they will be entitled to work up to 20 hours per week during the school year, and up to 40 hours per week over the summer holiday period to align with work rights available to Year 12 and 13 students on a Dependent Child Student Visa.
“This will be implemented by the end of October. Immigration New Zealand will provide details about how to apply and the exact date the change comes into effect by 30 August.”
“This change is part of a more comprehensive work programme to create a smarter immigration system. Getting our immigration settings right is critical to this Government’s plan to rebuild the economy.”
Note to editors:
To be eligible to apply for work rights, migrants must be an applicant on an already-lodged application for one of the following residence visas:
Dependent Child Resident Visa
Skilled Migrant Category Visa (old and new settings) any of the Skilled Migrant Category sub-categories (Green List Straight to Residence Visa, Green List Work to Residence Visa, Care Workforce Work to Residence Visa, Transport Sector Work to Residence Visa). | 830 |
| 3 | UPDATE: AEWV (Accredited Employer Work Visa)
Significant AEWV Changes Announced
On 7 April 2024 the government introduced a number of significant changes to the AEWV scheme. This alert provides a high-level overview of these changes.
KEY CHANGES
ANZSCO Skill Level 4 and 5 restrictions
Job vacancies for a role at ANZCO Skill Level 4 or 5 now need to be advertised on an acceptable platform for 21 days. The employer must also contact Work and Income to confirm whether suitable New Zealanders are available.
AEWV applicants for a role at ANZSCO Skill Level 4 or 5 are now required to meet a minimum standard of English.
The maximum length of stay for most AEWV holders in ANZSCO Level 4 or 5 roles is now 3 years. Current AEWV holders may no longer be able to extend their maximum continuous stay from 3 years to 5 years. New AEWV applicants will receive a 2-year visa, extendable by 1 year with a further Job Check.
Skill level requirements
Unless an AEWV applicant meets the Green List requirements or is paid at least twice the 2023 median wage, all new applicants must either:
Have 3 years or more of relevant work experience (supported by evidence, including references or certificates of service);
or
Have a relevant qualification at Level 4 or higher on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF).
Employer obligations and compliance
All AEWVs will have a condition requiring at least 30 hours of work per week.
Employers must inform INZ within 10 working days if an employee leaves their job.
Before offering a job token to an AEWV applicant, the employer must take reasonable steps to ensure applicants have the skills and experience specified above and in the approved Job Check.
Employers can now have their accreditation suspended while any suspected breach is investigated. | 899 |
| 4 | UPDATE: AEWV (Accredited Employer Work Visa) and Green List (Link)
7 april 2024
Government takes action on immigration to address issues and protect New Zealanders
The New Zealand government is making immediate changes to the Accredited Employer Worker Visa (AEWV) scheme in order to address unsustainable levels of net migration and protect migrant workers from exploitation. Immigration Minister Erica Stanford announced these changes today, emphasising the government's commitment to rebuilding the economy.
The focus is on attracting and retaining highly skilled migrants in areas where there is a shortage of skills, such as secondary teaching. However, the government also wants to prioritise job opportunities for New Zealanders in areas where there are no skill shortages.
In 2023, there were nearly 173,000 non-New Zealand citizens migrating to the country, which was close to a record high. To better manage the situation, the government is implementing a range of changes to improve the AEWV scheme and ensure that the local labour market is thoroughly assessed. These changes are not entirely new but rather a return to pre-pandemic settings that strike a better balance between the needs of businesses and the broader interests of New Zealand.
The aim is to have AEWV settings that allow for a suitable mix of skilled temporary migrants to address genuine skill and labour shortages, support economic recovery, and manage the impact on essential infrastructure like schools, housing, and healthcare.
The specific changes being introduced include the following:
1. Requiring migrants applying for low-skilled level 4 and 5 roles to meet an English language requirement.
2. Implementing minimum skills and work experience thresholds for most AEWV roles.
3. Requiring employers seeking to hire migrants for level 4 and 5 roles to engage with Work and Income before approval is granted.
4. Reducing the maximum continuous stay for most level 4 and 5 roles from 5 years to 3 years.
5. Disestablishing the franchisee accreditation category and allowing these businesses to apply for workers from overseas through standard, high-volume, or triangular employment accreditation.
These changes are aimed at improving the integrity of the AEWV scheme and preventing exploitation of migrant workers, as recommended by the recent Bestwick review, which identified serious issues with the AEWV processes. Requiring an English language requirement will enable migrants to better understand their rights and raise concerns about their employers at an early stage.
In addition, the government has decided not to include 11 roles, such as welders and fitters and turners, on the Green List, which would have facilitated their entry into the country. The Work to Residence pathway for bus and truck drivers is also closing to new applicants, as the previously reported driver shortages have been addressed.
These changes are just the beginning of a more comprehensive effort to create a smarter immigration system that effectively manages net migration, adapts to the evolving economic context, attracts top talent, revitalises international education, ensures self-funding and sustainability, and improves risk management, according to Minister Stanford. | 1 154 |
