Six-month permit too tough, say job-seekers

How the scheme works
* Most people granted permanent residence under the skilled migrant category gain residence immediately through points for their qualifications, work experience, age and current work or a job offer in New Zealand.
* Borderline cases may be given work-to-residence permits allowing them to work for six months, then gain residence if they have held a skilled job for at least three months.
* 617 work-to-residence permits were issued in the first six months after the policy took effect on December 21, 2005.
* Only 19 of those people (3 per cent) were given permanent residence by June 30, 2006.
