New immigration policy will hit not only Filipino workers but other nationalities.
As of
2013 around 40,000 Filipinos are living in New Zealand. It is also the choice for migration of expatriates to those searching for a greener pasture. Some
applied and started to stay in New Zealand as international student and eventually landed their dream job.

New Zealand is heavily dependent on agricultural product , such as cow farm and its dairy products.
One
Filipino worker who is in NZ, Paul Gatchalian
testified that he did not experience difficulty landing a job as he started as
International student. But it will need an ample financial support to remain in
college. Also one Filipino graduate of Business studies, Michael Valle states
that at least you needed to have 500,000 Php
(10,000 $) to sustain your studies. Excluding boarding and food
allowances.
Given
this figure, once you landed a good job it is all worth it.
According
to Valle, who holds an open Visa, “Dapat
pag-isipan mabuti
ng isang migrante
bago
pumunta
sa bansang
ito...
ano
yung
mga requirements na kailangan
mo
magamit
o madala
para maging
eligible ka
sa ganung
antas
ng sahod
“. “(Those who want to come here must think about it thoroughly first… you must
know the requirements you need to bring so you can be eligible for the level of
salary offered here).”
Paul Gatchalian
has something to comment on “Yung batas
ng immigration [dito
sa New Zealand] medyo
mahigpit.
Kaya bago
po
kayo pumasok
dito
kailangan
alamin
muna
natin
ang batas
nila
sa immigration para hindi
tayo
mahirapan.
(The immigration laws here are very strict. So before you come here, it is important to know their
laws on immigration first to avoid problems).”
But
with the new policy that New Zealand government has implemented it requires to
prioritize the hiring of Kiwis or New Zealand nationals who are capable of the
job they offer, New Zealand immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse has
announced.
