They all say that New Zealand prices are high. In fact, that is not true. The correct statement should be that the prices of all industries related to people in New Zealand have gone up to the sky, because New Zealand is too short of labor. There is no labor force, which has led to New Zealand’s food processing. Food prices have doubled in recent years. Everything is rare and expensive. When it comes to New Zealand's rare species, whether it is catering, construction or even the service industry, there is a shortage of people in all walks of life, and New Zealand has done too little and too slowly to remedy the shortage of labor. In addition to relying on the introduction of technical talents from other countries, there is also immigration.
After the new Immigration Minister took office, the first immigration policy released was to specially approve 5,000 residence quotas for residents of Pacific Island countries. Why are there suddenly special immigration quotas for islanders?
In fact, starting from the New Zealand amnesty in 2021, hundreds of thousands of temporary visa holders in New Zealand have the opportunity to come ashore, and many Chinese have benefited. However, Pacific Islanders say that among these hundreds of thousands of one-time residence visas, "Pacific Islanders can get The proportion of arrivals is very small." Moreover, you stopped the quota immigration too suddenly and lost the interests of the islanders. Therefore, the policy announced today is a benefit to Pacific island countries: a one-time "subsidize" for the immigration losses caused by the epidemic, and also prepare for the resumption of island country quotas at the end of the year.
For migrant workers, although the labor shortage means long hours of work and hard work, it is also the source of high wages and income. With the labor demand and the global competition for aging talents, New Zealand's immigration policy will continue to be liberalized in the future. It depends on whether you can seize this golden period and act early. Maybe you will be the lucky person next time in New Zealand's amnesty. .
