Skilled Migrant Category changes
Why are these changes being made?
The changes announced by the Minister of Immigration on 1 June 2011 target higher level students and move immigration incentives away from short, lower level qualifications. The intent of these changes is to incentivise students to study for longer and higher, thereby increasing export education revenue and other benefits associated with international education, and ensure that those students who choose to stay here are better positioned to take up genuinely skilled employment.
The majority of people are here to legitimately study, but some just see a student visa as a short cut to gaining access to work in New Zealand. In the current economic downturn, many international students who have taken short, low-level courses are likely to be competing directly with young New Zealanders for a limited pool of jobs.
移民局已经说的很明白了，由于新西兰目前经济不景气，国际学生们会占用原本已经不多的工作岗位，所以现在需要毕业生们有更久更高的学历才能申请毕业工作签证。从片面的角度上来说，INZ就是为了变相的减少国际学生的工作机会，这样才能将更多的工作机会留给当地人。作者: bobo666 时间: 2011-6-29 23:17:32
