Pull Factors
The main reason the Chinese migrated to New Zealand was because of our clean and green environment which was very different from the polluted landscape they used to live in. Also they wanted the education, healthcare and jobs which were available in New Zealand. Also in 1996 the New Zealand Party changed the immigration policy towards skills-based immigration, this led to many skilled Chinese migrants arriving in New Zealand. Many Chinese nationals choose to study abroad in New Zealand and then gain the recognized qualifications to obtain skilled employment in New Zealand.
