新西蘭移民局中國辦公室最新發布的數據顯示，2006-07年度，赴新西蘭留學的中國學生簽證申請和上一年度相比，增長了26. 83%。從2006年7月到2007年6月，新西蘭移民局在中國的三個辦公室（北京，上海，香港）共收到了5，189份學生簽證申請；而2005-06年度，共收到了4，091 份學生簽證申請。

“對中國學生來說，新西蘭持續成為受歡迎的留學目的地國，”新西蘭移民局發言人Lorraine Tomlinson 女士說，“新西蘭教育能夠為國際留學生提供很多 – 有大量高質量、國際標準的學習機會。另外，新西蘭還有其他值得一提的方面 – 生活方式，友好的人民以及學習之后的工作機會。”

“還有，2005年開始實施的政策變化使留學生在新西蘭學習期間的打工更加方便。這些政策意味著學生能夠在他們學習期間打工。在學期之中，每周打工的時間從15個小時增加到了20個小時，同時也有更多的學生能夠獲得在暑期做全職工作的機會，”Tomlinson 女士說。

Significant Increase of Student Visa Application Numbers from China

Immigration New Zealand data shows that the numbers of Chinese students being approved to study in NZ in 2006-07 has increased 26.83%. From July 2006 to June 2007, the total number of student visa application was 5,189, in comparison with 4,091 in 2005-06.

“New Zealand continues to be a popular place for Chinese people to study, “said Immigration New Zealand spokesperson Lorraine Tomlinson, “New Zealand education providers have a lot to offer students from overseas – there are plenty of high quality and world class study options. Added to that is everything else New Zealand has to offer – the lifestyle, the friendly people and work opportunities when studies are completed.”

“Plus, changes to student policy in 2005 make it easier for students to work while they study here. That policy change means more students are now eligible to work while they study, the number of hours students can work each week during term time has increased from 15 to 20 and more students are entitled to work full-time over the summer holidays,” Ms Tomlinson said.
