Essential Skills in Demand Lists


The Essential Skills in Demand (ESID) Lists help to ensure New Zealand’s skills needs are met by facilitating the entry of appropriately skilled migrants to fill identified skill shortages.

There are three lists:
  • the Long-term Skill Shortage List
  • the Immediate Skill-shortage List
  • the Canterbury Skill-shortage List
If you meet the skill requirements on these lists then we will accept that no New Zealanders are available for the position(s).
 
The focus of the lists is to identify skilled occupations where there is a genuine shortage of New Zealand workers. The lists are not designed for lower-skilled or seasonal labour shortages, or to cover shortages caused by recruitment and retention problems.
