New Zealand immigration policy changes for foreign students

On 24 October 2007, Immigration Minister David Cunliffe announced changes to New Zealand's immigration policy for students who would like to remain in the country as permanent migrants. From late November, many international students will be able to remain in New Zealand for 12 months, up from the current six, under a job search permit that allows them to look for skilled work.
