Despite borders reopening and Aotearoa once again officially ‘open’ to international students, eager student travellers have hit one critical snag: Immigration New Zealand (INZ). Processing struggles have left many overseas students in limbo as a result.  Since April 12, Aotearoa has been officially open to international students, as long as you hold a valid student visa and offer from a university. The Otago University International Office said in a statement that they “welcome [the reopening] as a first step to once again allowing freedom of movement for international students”.  However, “if your circumstances changed since you were granted your visa,…

The original name of the university was taken from Egerton Ryerson, a Methodist preacher, educator and colonialist. Ryerson designed a model for residential schools for the country’s Indigenous population. In 2021, remains of children were found at former schools across Canada. However, the new name is the “culmination of work carried out over several years”, the institution noted. “Metropolitan is a reflection of who we have always been – an urban institution dedicated to excellence, innovation, and inclusion and who we aim to be – a place where all feel welcome, seen, represented and celebrated,” president and vice-chancellor Mohamed Lachemi said.

While the two major political parties dance around immigration issues without dealing with the substance, there were some developments in March that re-confirm the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has lost control of the visa system. The Novak Djokovic debacle of earlier this year was just a glimpse of the chaos. The election focus on boat arrivals and temporary protection visas when we haven’t had a boat arrive since early 2013-14, along with the marginal difference between the major parties on visas for farm workers, also miss the real issues. Apart from the problems created by poor visa design/administration and…

NEW ZEALAND-GLOBAL As universities and countries around the world work overtime trying to gain the post-pandemic competitive edge with regard to international students, a university leader in New Zealand has challenged many of the assumptions driving globalisation and the internationalisation of higher education.Universities in New Zealand have not had any new in-country international students on campus since March 2020 and are not expecting any meaningful numbers until January 2023, the deputy vice-chancellor (strategic development) at the University of Auckland told delegates to this year’s International Higher Education Forum (IHEF) hosted by Universities UK International.And according to Dr Erik Lithander, who…
