DESCRIPTION

Nearly 100,000 international students chose New Zealand for their studies abroad in 2012, contributing NZ $2 billion to the economy and supporting approximately 32,000 jobs. This makes international education a significant export sector in the country, and the government aims to see it bigger still, having set a target of doubling the sector’s value to NZ $5 billion by 2025. For more information on recent funding boosts, visa processing improvements, and enrolment trends, please see our article: "New Zealand aims to double value of international education by 2025" on ICEF Monitor: http://bit.ly/1fIMM09.

Immigration NZ’s Vision

In 2015 we are recognised as a trusted partner, delivering outstanding immigration services and bringing in the best people New Zealand needs in order to prosper.

To achieve this, INZ is moving towards a new operating model in which it will:

increase it’s global reach

centralise processing

improve access to services

rationalise its branch network

simplify data and processes

Page 4: How and why to recommend New Zealand

Global Service Delivery Model

Immigration New Zealand (INZ) is working towards a more flexible, customer focused and cost effective global service delivery model

The new model centralises visa processing, rationalises the branch network, simplifies processes, increases online access and includes greater partnership with third parties

The model takes into account that INZ is introducing a new ICT system – the Immigration Global Management System (IGMS)

Page 5: How and why to recommend New Zealand

Immigration Global Management System

Enable a global service delivery model that is no longer reliant on physical branches, paper application forms and manual processing

New processes and supporting technology that will improve and support the operations and services of INZ and INZ partners

What will be achieved once IGMS is rolled out?

Visa services will be delivered online

A more flexible business model

Improved “Attract and Retain” functionality

More consistent decision making

Improved fraud and compliance detection and prevention

Better information sharing for INZ partners

Visa Application Centres

The new service delivery model includes increased partnering with specialist third party providers to outsource lodgement of visa applications, via the establishment of Visa Application Centres (VACs)

The increase in use of VAC’s has initially been focussed on the replacement of visa services previously provided by MFAT.

INZ has successfully established 37 VACs around the world

April: Los Angeles

May onwards: Dubai, Ankara, Pretoria and Sydney

INZ and Export Education

INZ’s key role here is facilitating the entry of international students to support the export education industry.

But we face specific risks/issues:

Non genuine or bona fide students

Facilitating more graduates through to residence, while maintaining quality standards (i.e. skilled people in skilled jobs)

vulnerable students being at greater risk of exploitation in the labour market

Potential labour market displacement if too many international

students and graduates are seeking work.

Page 9: How and why to recommend New Zealand

How?

Enhancements to current policy settings

Amended health and character requirements

Canterbury English Language students and work rights

Facilitate access to study and training for genuine students

Facilitate pathways to work and residence for highly skilled graduates

Incentives target students undertaking high level courses
