The Great Post-Lock-Down Launch Begins Monday!

Immigrants who get in ahead of the next wave will have advantages over those who follow. Foreign immigrants still have restrictions on travel for now but many NZ businesses need foreign skilled labour now, having lost many non-resident contractors in the last 1-2 months.

For immigrants, here are my two favourite time frames for taking effective action:

1) This Monday, 27th of April 2020, NZ companies are preparing to re-start their businesses like horses lining up for a race. Starting next week, NZ businesses will be active and possible to engage (with the right kind of preparation and approach)

2) And the early Spring hire has been a traditional annual peak for permanent hires in NZ for a long time. Assuming international travel is possible by then, preparation will once again be key.

There is a story of a large plumbing company in NZ that lost 50 qualified and skilled plumbers because they were on contract and not residents. That company and other companies in other industries will have to figure out how to manage existing orders with most of their workforce gone overnight.

For foreign skilled workers looking for their best shot at immigrating to New Zealand this year, the time is now for preparing. Great implementation follows great planning and preparation.

Let me know if you have any questions about immigrating to New Zealand as a skilled worker.
