Dear Kazal,

Your below email is not considered a request for official information, however we can advise that from 1 April 2020 the selection of Expressions of Interest (EOI) for residence under the Parent Category and Skilled Migrant Category were deferred until later notice. The deferral is a temporary measure that allows INZ to focus on processing applications from people who are in New Zealand or those eligible to travel here while border restrictions are in place. The Government has not yet made any decisions on when this will reopen. INZ will continue to reassess when EOI selections can take place as the COVID-19 situation develops.

The best place to find updated information on the EOI selections is the INZ website, which is being updated regularly as decision are made: www.immigration.govt.nz/about-us/media-c....
