Immigration advisers in New Zealand must now be licensed
New Zealand introduced a mandatory offshore licensing for people providing immigration advice about New Zealand.
The measure which becomes effective on May 5, 2010, is aimed to build confidence and enhance the quality of services provided to potential migrants to New Zealand. It applies to all advisers, no matter they are based in New Zealand or located in another country.
Competencies required from licensed advisors are the following: relevant qualifications, knowledge of Immigration advisers licensing scheme,knowledge of immmigration law and policy in New Zealand; ability to lodge applications and appeals; English language proficiency;professional, ethical and responsible business practices; and maintenance of professional development activities.
