Migrants Dying While Waiting for New Zealand Parent Visas

New Zealand

#familyvisa

#residence

Over 10,000 migrant families have applied for New Zealand’s parent residence visa, but many parents face long waits in a random ballot system. Some die before getting a chance to settle. Once selected, processing takes about 195 days, but the growing pool means uncertain wait times.

The annual cap is 2,500 visas. Past policy changes and income requirements have disqualified many. A new long-term visitor visa is being considered, with policy work expected to be finished by year-end. MPs say visa reforms, including work and digital nomad visas, must be finalized before changes for parents can proceed.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store pushed back against U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s remarks on immigration. Vance, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, warned of Europe’s internal threats, blaming “unvetted” immigration.

He also criticized Romania’s cancelled election and the exclusion of far-right German politicians. Store dismissed Vance’s claims, stating that immigration is already a key issue in Europe. He highlighted that many arrivals are Ukrainian refugees fleeing war, which Vance ignored.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius also rejected Vance’s criticism, calling it “unacceptable.” The exchange underscores tensions between European leaders and the Trump administration.

A second US military flight carrying 119 deported Indian migrants is set to land in Amritsar. This follows President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Most deportees are from Punjab, Haryana, and Gujarat.

PM Modi recently met Trump, affirming India’s commitment to take back its citizens. He also vowed to fight human trafficking. The treatment of deportees, including shackling, has sparked outrage.

External Affairs Minister Jaishankar assured India is engaging with US officials for dignified treatment. As US laws tighten, India faces pressure to curb illegal migration through stronger border controls and diplomatic talks.

Canada Expands Authority to Cancel Temporary Resident Documents

Canada

#residence

Canada has strengthened immigration rules to boost border security. IRCC now has greater power to cancel temporary resident visas (TRVs), electronic travel authorizations (eTAs), work permits, and study permits.

Officers can revoke documents due to fraud, misrepresentation, criminal records, or ineligibility. These changes aim to prevent illegal stays and ensure immigration integrity. The new rules come as stricter U.S. policies may increase irregular migration to Canada.

IRCC is also investing in security technology and better screening. Canada seeks to balance welcoming immigrants with enforcing immigration laws. The updates took effect on January 31, 2025.
