Independent evaluation

Immigration settings

The Commission has completed its inquiry into what immigration policy settings would best facilitate New Zealand's long-term economic growth and promote the wellbeing of New Zealanders. An independent evaluation has been carried out against our performance framework. This uses three external sources of feedback: an expert review, participant interviews and online survey.

Online survey

100 inquiry participants responded to an online survey. The following report presents the results of the survey. All answers are anonymous.
