A Cabinet paper shows the Government is planning to tighten up on family members seeking New Zealand residency while giving preference to better-off immigrants.
The paper released to the Labour Party under the Official Information Act shows Immigration New Zealand is planning to create a two-tier system where applications from parents sponsored by their higher income children, or those who bring a guaranteed income or funds, would be processed faster than other applications.
The system would also be tightened for those in the second tier for wealthier immigrants so that only those with no adult children living in their home country would be eligible. Sponsors would be required to support immigrating parents for a period of 10 years, up from five,and parents would no longer be able to bring dependent children. Parents with poor English would also need to "pre-purchase tuition". The sibling and adult child immigration category would be removed to reduce the number of unskilled migrants who find it more difficult to get jobs and are more likely to get benefit payments.作者: 无过 时间: 2012-3-5 10:59:18
