New Zealand (NZ) ranks very well in quality of living standards globally and thereby makes it a sought-after destination for immigration. To ensure protection of interest of immigrants and to safeguard the reputation of New Zealand as a top destination of choice - the Immigration Advisers function is regulated via implementation of the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 (‘The Act’). In the case of ZW v Immigration Advisers Authority, Judge Priestley J rightly stated that Parliament’s objective for passing the Act was to clean up the Immigration Advisers industry, which was subject to much justified criticism; towards providing an improved system of transparency, competency, Conduct Code and acceptable standards of service (ZW v Immigration Advisers Authority [2012] NZHC 1069 at [41]).
This Act managed to build an overarching legal architecture with clear operating regime, defined stakeholders’ accountabilities, well-defined process steps and created necessary checks & balances to protect all involved. The Act sits at the centre of the Legal framework that holds the Immigration Advisory function and creates the necessary safeguards to protect consumers and enhance the New Zealand’s reputation by regulating the practice of providing immigration advice both onshore and offshore.

The film suggests this concern is relevant only in african countries however, as some 10,000 people from Hong Kong are selected each year to immigrate to Toronto, alone. Here Canada is portrayed as fiscally opportunistic. Much of the language used by the immigration officers in the film was consistent with the folk definition of immigration, burdensome and
Immigration has been a topic for heated discussions for many years. However, no one has really ever looked into what immigration actually is or how hard it is for the people trying to immigrate. In the common reader we are given an insight to what immigration is, and the risks that follow.
The two main reasons to the passing of the Immigration Restriction Act was because of racism and economic fears. The Immigration Restriction Act was also commonly known as the ‘White Australian Policy’. There is evidence of racism all throughout this time; most being towards the Chinese and Aboriginal cultures. One reason that the immigration act was passed was because many Australians were jealous or worried about the hard work that foreigner workforces were doing. The white Australians were threatened by the fact that they could lose their jobs. A second reason for the passing of the act was because they wanted to maintain ‘racial purity’. The third reason is because of the wellbeing of Australia, white Australians used this as an excuse.

There needs to be reform not only the issue of illegal immigration but also on legal immigration and refugee and asylum policies; the three main reforms that I will cover in this paper. Current immigrant policy allows for around 1 million immigrants allowed into this country every year. Although this may seem like a low number compared to the current population of nearly 300 million people who currently live in the unites states the
The history of Canadian immigration highlights that the immigration policies has been selective about the immigrants coming to Canada. The basis of the choice of immigrants and corresponding policies and laws were motivated and shaped by the political, social and economic position of Canada throughout the decades. Through the historical records the Canadian immigration policies had been heavily influenced by ethnicity, race and religion factors.

Immigration issues have been a problem throughout history. This Society holds different perceptions on the topic. Some people favor the flow of immigrants while others oppose it. Immigration is a social problem that must constantly be reviewed due to the complexity of the problems. In this situation, different factors such as the quality of life for immigrants, how they impact the economy, how the implementation of policies would benefit them, have to be taken into consideration. Immigration policies affect all aspects of today’s society. The key figures in the immigration issue are immigrants, documented/undocumented, political figures.
Australia has arguably the most restrictive immigration control in the world and has very tough policies in place for asylum seekers who arrive by boat. Under Australia 's system of mandatory detention, all non-citizens who are in Australia without a valid visa must be detained, including children. In 2012, offshore processing of asylum seekers commenced and detention centres in Nauru and Manus Island (Papua New Guinea) were established. This new system enforced policies that transferred asylum seekers who arrive by boat without a valid visa to a third country. Once the processing of asylum seekers was completed, those found to be genuine refugees will be resettled in Papua New Guinea or Cambodia, not Australia. The Abbott Government stated that no immigrant who arrives in Australia by boat will be grated a visa, no matter the legitimacy of their claim. In April 2016, the Manus Island detention centre was closed after the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea found it to be illegal. Current immigration Peter Dutton has made it clear that asylum seekers on Manus Island are the responsibility of Papua New Guinea and would not come to Australia. As well as the hundreds of immigrants in offshore detention centres, there are hundreds more in community detention in Australia. There are currently over 26,800 visa applications from those who are awaiting the outcome of their refugee application whilst living on a bridging visa in Australia.
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is an act respecting immigration to Canada and the granting of refugee protection to persons who are displayed, persecuted or in danger. Immigration has had a big effect on today’s community’s and environments here in Canada. Disclosed are the pros and cons of immigration in Canada, the pros and cons of the IRB procedures and hearings, and also my view on working in immigration law.
Migration policies are often designed with the sole objective of influencing international migration by either restricting or encouraging circular migration, immigration or emigration(Ripsman & Paul, 2010). Open border policies have contributed to the uncontrolled to the flow of illegal immigrants into countries and in turn generating challenges to the host countries. The fundamental basis for arguments has been whether open immigration policy or restricted immigration policy
The rule of law broadly requires; that all are equal before the law , that the government is subject to the law and must exercise its power according to the law, finally that ‘there exist fundamental individual liberties and minimum standards of justice, to which the law must conform’ . The rule of law is problematic to define but put simply it is not ‘the rule of men’ and is evident in societies with functioning judiciaries and a clear separation of powers such as New Zealand. It is one of several intrinsic attributes of our constitutional makeup and overall the Judiciary aid in ‘ensure[ing] that the rule of
Over the last three years, I have witnessed significant transformations in the immigration regulatory framework leading to a faster, more responsive and reliable immigration system. Despite working for the Immigration New Zealand department from the years 2008 to 2011, some of the practical knowledge I have about processing temporary applications is out-dated. Temporary visa application forms have been revised, instructions have been updated and processing requirements amended to meet the changing demands of the industry. Apart from completing the Graduate Certificate in New Zealand Immigration Advice course, I feel that I need more time to master these revisions and develop the practical experience needed to confidently process temporary entry
The ten principles aim to establish a balanced framework for legal immigration within Common Immigration Policy, which is focused on better organization of legal immigration. It also considers special interest in integration and dealing with irregular immigration, through intensive partnerships with non EU countries based on solidarity and shared responsibility. While focusing on legal immigration, EU measures particularly cover certain categories of immigrants like highly qualified workers (subject of EU Blue Card Directive), students and researchers, intra -corporate transferees, long-term residents, seasonal workers and family reunification.
