There has been news going around recently
regarding immigrant students in New Zealand and their work rights right after
they have finished their studies. The news has been revolving around just how
much these new potential rules can actually make the immigrant students stop
living in the country and move to their home country or to a new one basically
because the laws in New Zealand would not allow them to do so anymore. Of
course, this is just a plan but plans can definitely turn into real laws if
allowed by the lawmakers.
On the other hand, international students
in New Zealand are not happy just about how the potential rules can affect
them. Making them leave the country is not going to be a good thing. These
individuals have not just chosen New Zealand for the education but also for the
fact that they can continue living in the country and getting the jobs that
they want. That is why these international students have been adamant and have
been vocal about just how the government should look into these potential new
rules.
What
the Immigration Minister is doing
The Immigration Minister of New Zealand
knows how to listen. And that can be seen in what he has recently done. Iain
Lees-Galloway is the person heading the immigration department and he has recently
launched a consultation so much so that they can learn and study just how lives
and how the country would be affected by the potential things that they have
been planning. This is just how the minister is making sure that there would
not be too much trouble and that sides are heard so the right decision can be
made.
According to the potential new rules, those
immigrant students in New Zealand who are in the country to study for two years
or even less will not be able to pursue getting jobs in the country as they
will not be having rights after their studies are completed. They will also not
be able to get sponsorship from employers in the country. That is what could
happen potentially if the policies on immigrant students go and change as
lawmakers can do.
The
potential rules
According to Lees-Galloway, the lawmakers
are proposing such changes because the very goal would be to take out any
exploitation that could happen to immigrants especially to those who have just
finished their studies and are all quite raring to start working. The minister
continued that the policy changes would help make sure that all immigrants who
are in the country may be able to get residency as per their contributions to
just what the country needs in terms of skills. This should also help make sure
that there is no “false dreams” that usually come with immigrant students and
their idealism. But it is good that the government is willing to listen and
study the potential outcome on the issue.
