Indian, Chinese Students Top Migrants to New Zealand

Students from India and China helped to drive a record net gain in migrants to New Zealand in the first half of 2015, the government statistics agency said.

Annual permanent and long-term migration showed a record net gain -- the number of arrivals over departures -- of 59,600 migrants till July this year, resulting from 117,100 arrivals and 57,500 departures, Xinhua cited the Statistics New Zealand.

Of the arrivals, 13,800 were from India, with three-quarters having student visas, and 10,400 were from China.

July also set a record with the highest ever monthly net gain in migrants at 5,700, surpassing the previous record of 5,400 set in January this year.

Afluxul de migranți ar pune sub presiune toate serviciile publice, inclusiv spitalele, și cererea de locuințe, în special pe piața supraîncălzită din Auckland, a declarat partidul de opoziție New Zealand First.
