Do we have any option for a teaching course in New Zealand that can lead to a PR pathway for a Diploma/Master's?

Yes, New Zealand offers teaching courses that can lead to permanent residency (PR) pathways.

Teaching is a high-demand profession in New Zealand. Completing a recognized teaching qualification - such as a Graduate Diploma or Master of Teaching in Early Childhood or Primary Education - can make you eligible for a post-study work visa (PSW) for up to three years.

If you secure a teaching role listed on New Zealand’s Green List (in-demand occupations), you may qualify to apply for residency through the Skilled Migrant Category or Green List Pathway. Some roles offer direct residence options, while others require relevant work experience first.
