Equivalence of Skill Assessment

[Ab_Haleem]

Hi everyone,

I was trying my case for Australia' 175 visa and for which I have also underwent skill assessment from Engineers Australia(EA). However, due to some unexpected result in my IELTS, I cannot qualify enough points for Australia.

My skill assessment from EA was successful and I also got their positive opinion on my work experience (around 12 years). My profession is Mechanical Engineering and Australia and New Zealand have the same code for this occupation.

Now, I want to apply for NZ immigration as I am confident to secure enough points for my NZ immigration. However, I was wondering whether the skill assessment from EA will be acceptable to NZ immigration officer or not?.

Any advice or experience, please share.

You'll still have to get a score of 6.5 or over in your IELTS too - see English language requirements

However i must say your written English seems very good! Can't you take it again?

I have overall band of 7.0 (L 6.5 R 6.5 W 7.5 S 7.5) in IELTS so I am confident to fulfill this requirement for NZ immigration. However, my question was whether my skill assessment from EA be acceptable to NZ immigration or not?.
