So the NZ route needs 160 points to get an ITA? Indian Commerce Bachelor degree's earn 50 points as Level 7?
Is there any forum to discuss about the NZ PR options? I think even if a person cracks 8777 in IELTS the NZ PR option is very difficult isnt it?
If you and your spouse have a Master Degree (Master's must be mentioned in the certification and not a PG Diploma) -> You both score an avg of IELTS 6.5 overall (with no module less than 6) -> Have skilled Work Experience of more than 6 skills (only in the Critical long term skill of AUS & NZ) -> And more than everything, your study must be relevant to your work (both you and your spouse).
If all in place, you have no probs grabbing NZ PR and settle down in AUS as well. You can commence the process to move to the beautiful NZ
If even one of the above is missing, NZ is not possible.
 
NO.
Why is that a requirement?
My profile says eligibility criteria met.

Yes - this was a requirement for the last draw. The last draw was CEC - meaning only for candidates with Canadian work experience. This is why you did not receive ITA. You did not qualify for the draw.
 
What about FSW then?

There have been no FSW draws for three months now. When FSW draws resume, scores will likely be 470+. Your score is too low to be selected through FSW.

That's the catch.. both me and my spouse need to be on that critical long term skills shortage list of occupations.. getting overall 7 or 8 in IELTS is not a problem at all.. Master's degree from the UK.

This is reason why no one is looking at NZ, as Canada is straight forward. I wish I had work experience in those skills listed on their long term shortage list, but unfortunately 70%+ on this forum do not fall into that category!!
