The Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) is a route for prospective migrants to apply for permanent resident in New Zealand if they pass to qualify 100 points to their EOI application. The applicant may be given an invitation to apply for PR, depending on the highest score ranked, or may defer such application (PR) when granting a SMC job search work visa for 9 months in New Zealand.
