There's a clause near the end of SMC 11.10, in the Ops. Manual, that has had us talking at home for ages. It's not relevant to our family at all, but has anyone else been intrigued by it? It's the one that says that NZIS will consider work exp. outside a comparable labour market if:
"(b(ii))...the work was undertaken in a country not listed in (a) above by a person who is a citizen or permanent resident of one of the listed countries and had the lawful authority to work in that country."
Now is that just a vaguely worded way of being able to acknowledge the sort of scenario whereby, say, a highly skilled engineering supervisor has spent - I dunno - two years in India replicating a way of building a new plant that he also oversaw in Silicon Valley?
If so, the wording is very, very generalized. By one reading it even seems to be saying that if you're, say, a UK citizen all of whose experience has been in a non-listed country, they'll accept it in a points claim.
Anyone quizzed NZIS about this, or have any interpretations?
Cheers,
Matt.
