Can i go and emigrate to New Zealand if i don't have a degree?

Answer 1

Take a look at the NZ immigration website - http://www.immigration.govt.nz. If you want a job in a profession that's in high demand, you'll probably be fine. Otherwise it's dependent on a points system, so if you can get enough points in other areas, it won't matter.

Answer 2

Yes, it all works on a points system. They value trades just as much as degrees. It's all about whether you are likely to do a useful job once you are there. If you have a skill that there is a shortage of, emigrating is quite easy. Otherwise it can be hard to get enough points.
If you are under 30, might be easier to get a Working Holiday Visa and apply once you are out there. You get extra points for already being in NZ because you are more likely to stay if you are already there.

Answer 3

I can't see why you can't emigrate to New Zealand if you don't have a degree. I don't have a degree as such (I went to University for 2 years and did not get the full qualifaction) but I have still got the job I have always dreamed about so as long as you are happy doing what you are doing then there is no need to worry about this.

All the best for the future!!!!

Answer 4

I believe you can emigrate there if you have a career which is desperately needed in that country. There will be immigration services available online no doubt which will give you an idea of the types of skills which are needed there.

Answer 5

Yes. If you look at that NZ immigration website that somebody mentions, you'll see that some of the skills most in demand are trades, not professions. But it's difficult to immigrate here if you haven't any skills at all. We need plumbers, sparkies, builders, mechanics, farm workers, health workers and IT people, among others.
