Dear Mehoul

 

I have not received confirmation of your eligibility to make a request
under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act). I am therefore not
satisfied that you are eligible to make this request and I will not be
processing your request further.

 

However, I can advise that the answers to your first three questions can
be found on our website:
[1]https://www.immigration.govt.nz/about-us....
On this page, we have a PDF document titled [2]Occupation and region for
SMC/General Skills principal applicants, which shows Skilled Migrant
Category visa application approvals and declines by occupation and
financial year. Alternatively, if calendar year is needed, you can find
this information on our [3]Migration Data Explorer. If you need guidance
on how to use this tool, click “Feeling lost?” at the bottom of the
introduction page to view a presentation on how to use the Migration Data
Explorer.

 

If you believe that you are eligible to make a request under the Act,
please submit another request.

 

Yours sincerely
