Now that I have a job offer I am trying to get things into perspective more. I have 2 questions which I hope someone can help with. Here goes:

When completing the EOI in the section relating to English language ability what is the best one to tick? I have a choice between
-Otherwise meet the minimum standard, as defined in the Guide or
-None of the above

With the first one I have given an explanation saying that English is my native language etc... The second choice does not ask you to explain. Which do I use?

Second question. I know that you have 12 months from getting PR to activating it. To activate it do you just have to visit NZ or live there for a set period of time? What if you visit and want to return later?

I am thinking of my daughter. She is at Uni at the moment and I hope to be able to get PR for her with our application. If she spends a month with us at Xmas and then goes back to the UK until the summer will this be enough to activate PR and for her to return without needing further visa's? Can't seem to find the right answers on NZIS (but then ...can anyone?) :confused:

Hi,

You just need to enter the country to get your visa stamped...some people just come over for a holiday and get it stamped, so your daughter should be ok.

For your first question, if you only have the two choices then I would select the "Otherwise meet the minimum standard, as defined in the Guide" (assuming that you do of course :) )

When we filled it in for the principal applicant we chose the "recognised qualification in which the English was the only medium of study"

If you are from the UK then I believe that this question is only a formality, but you can always add additional info in your covering letter (ITA) e.g. always lived in Uk, only language etc.
