Immigration Minister of New Zealand has announced today some changes to the immigration policy to bolster the influx of foreign students to the nation. He further added that the NZ government is interested to increase student immigration figures and so easy policies are being offered to attract more and more foreign talents.

The current turnover of the education industry consisting student migrants is more than 2.3 billion dollars and the NZ government is keen to strengthen this figure. The Immigration Minister said that they want to enable the best and bright foreign talents to stay and contribute to the national skilled workforce by ensuring their genuine intention to migrate and study in the nation.

The announced changes will be effective from July 2011 and that will improve student visa conditions and requirements as well as improving admission to study, training and route to residence. Few impending amendments will not occur until 2012 to eliminate any added barriers to foreign students.

The greater figure of students is here for genuine study intention but few see student visa program as a short cut to immigrate to New Zealand, stated by Immigration Minister. Several education providers are abusing the immigration system by enrolling students unable to complete their study program and having poor record of attendance. These practices affect our immigration system integration and reputation of quality study place.
