New Zealand announces immediate adjustments to its employment visa program due to unsustainable migration levels, including English language requirements for low-skilled jobs and reduced maximum continuous stay. Immigration Minister Erica Stanford emphasizes prioritizing highly skilled migrants to address labor shortages while ensuring job opportunities for locals. Last year, the country saw nearly 173,000 migrants, prompting concerns about inflation amid rapid post-pandemic growth. Neighboring Australia plans to halve its migrant intake in response to similar migration trends.
