FAQ

Tools FAQ

  • No. RTNZ tools are independent planning tools. They may help you understand route questions, but official visa eligibility and decisions remain with Immigration New Zealand.

  • No. They do not guarantee a visa, residence, registration, admission, scholarship, job offer, or employer sponsorship. They are orientation tools based on the information you provide and the tool's current logic.

  • Yes. The tools are written for global New Zealand pathway planning, with a strong Pakistan lens where useful. Pakistan examples explain common qualification, documentation, family, and employer-planning patterns; they do not create separate eligibility rules.

  • If study is central, start with the Student Journey Map, Student ROI Calculator, or PhD Strategic Alignment Matrix. If skilled migration is central, start with the SMC 6-Point Calculator or Green List Checker. If professional registration is central, start with the roadmap for your profession, then use Job Intelligence when employer targeting becomes the next question.

  • Green List Checker is an occupation and pathway-orientation tool. It helps you check whether a role title appears connected to Green List occupation logic. NZ Green List Job Intelligence is an employer-targeting tool for the later stage, when you want to understand role and employer context after the occupation/pathway question is clearer.

  • Usually yes. First check the occupation/pathway question, then check any profession-specific registration roadmap if your role is regulated or recognition-sensitive, then use Job Intelligence for employer and role-market targeting.

  • Calculators and roadmaps are reviewed when the underlying rule, list, or data changes. Always check official sources before acting on a major decision.

  • No. Use the result to organise your questions and evidence. If your decision involves payment, study deposits, employer contact, family movement, registration fees, or filing strategy, request structured review.

  • Use the tool for orientation only. Complex facts can change the safest pathway, so the next step should be Check Eligibility or a strategy session rather than relying on a simple result.

  • The current live registration roadmap set covers doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, engineers, and teachers. Each roadmap helps with sequencing and evidence questions; none replaces the relevant New Zealand registration authority's assessment.

  • No. They help you understand likely sequence, evidence, and planning questions. Only the relevant New Zealand registration authority can assess or confirm registration outcomes.

  • It helps skilled candidates with employer-targeting context for Green List occupations. It does not replace the Green List occupation check and does not guarantee a job offer, employer sponsorship, visa approval, or residence outcome.

  • Yes. For regulated or recognition-sensitive professions, a roadmap can help you understand whether registration, recognition, English evidence, or role-fit issues should be clarified before broad employer outreach.

  • No. Immigration New Zealand does not receive your tool inputs from RTNZ. If you later submit an enquiry through RTNZ, that is a separate action through RTNZ's own intake process.

Check Eligibility and Book Strategy Session remain the public next-step CTAs when a planning result needs structured review.
