The immigration minister for New Zealand has
announced a set of proposals which are expected to change the rights for
students who opt for continuing to work in the country after pursuing their
higher education in New Zealand. The minister stated that the
proposed changes will assist in eliminating the exploitation of migrants and ensure
that they are granted residency in order that they may be able to contribute
their skills effectively to New Zealand.
Need for change in Student
post study rights and proposed changes
According to the honorable minister, a huge number
of students are conned by fraudulent agencies and are made to believe that they
can get themselves on the fast track to residency in spite of their skill
levels. This has led to a marked decline in the skill level of the immigrants
who are selected for permanent residency. Moreover, the existing rules make
aspiring students who are planning to pursue their education in New Zealand,
extremely vulnerable to exploitation from fake agents, employers as well as
educators.
The new changes aim to bring in a number of
positive changes which are expected to benefit international students who study
in New Zealand. One of the proposed changes intends to remove the
mandatory requirement that states that post-study work visas be sponsored by
the same employer throughout the stay. This requirement has led to a number of
cases where the foreign workers have been exploited by employers as they are
wholly dependent on them for their continued stay in the country.
The proposed change is also expected to limit the
duration of post-study work visas to one year for undergraduates and do away
with visas for those whose study in New Zealand is of less than two years
duration. This change would assist in ensuring that only students with the
requisite skill sets will be granted the visa. Under the new rules
graduates would be allowed to apply for other visas after the completion of the
post-study period but will have to meet the required criteria. The Minister
stated that he recognized the importance of work experience in the country for
students and that the proposals put forward by him were intended to protect
students from exploitation, while at the same time enabling them to gain
meaningful work experience. The minister also reassured the students that the
changes would not affect the current visa status for student visas or
post-study visas.
More specifically, the proposed changes are listed
below
1.
The mandatory requirement for post-study work visas
should be sponsored by a particular employer should be removed
2.
Three-year post-study work visa should be granted to
students who have a degree level 7 or higher qualifications
3.
One year post-study work visa should be provided for
students who have a non-degree level 7 or lesser qualifications Students who
complete non-degree requirements will need to undertake a minimum of two years
of study to become eligible for post-study work rights
4.
International students who acquire level 8 or 9
qualifications in an area which is listed in the Long Term Skills Shortage List
can bring their spouses and dependent children to the country. The partners of
these students will also be eligible for an open work visa
