The quota is currently filled.  More places will become available on 8 October 2012.

All 200 places for Chinese chefs were filled between October 2008 and September 2011.  Further places will be released in batches, to manage demand.  On 2 April 2012, 33 places became available and were taken within a short time. On 8 October 2012, a further 33 places will become available. No applications for Chinese chefs will be accepted by Immigration New Zealand before that date.
