New Zealand “will not cap” skilled migrant numbers

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

New Zealand will not follow Australia in limiting the number of migrant workers coming into the country, says Immigration Minister Jonathan Coleman.

Dr Coleman said skilled migrants brought skills New Zealand needed to grow the economy and the country could not afford to block people with skills “we are permanently short of”.

“We’ve always matched our temporary permits to the demands of certain occupation, and the system has always worked well for New Zealand and is constantly being reviewed,” he said.
