International Students NZ #LetUsBackToNz

Just here to vent about international student problems with the current #NewZealand border restrictions

[James Shulmeister @jamesshul1]

Ozzie is opening up to the return of international students. We desperately need a similar decision in Aotearoa. Please let unis manage miq for returning students. #covid #letusbacktonz #aotearoa #gradstudentsnow

[International Students NZ #LetUsBackToNz @students_nz]

New Zealand had 1.5 years to come up with a plan for international students stuck offshore. Yet they haven't provided students ANY information on when they'll open their borders which only shows how much the government & universities care about their students. #LetUsBacktoNZ

[NZOffshoreMigrants @LetusbacktoNZ]

It is more than 14months and New Zealand don't have any plan for offshore migrants.
Taking fees, giving visas and now blocking them is not #humanity
Labour party and PM Jacinda Ardern showing a "WE DON'T CARE" attitude toward migrants and nurses during this COVID19 pandemic. #WHO

[International Students NZ #LetUsBackToNz @students_nz]

@DSurte @TessieAustralia their vaccination drive is slow and they wont open borders until they reach herd immunity

[International Students NZ #LetUsBackToNz @students_nz]

@TessieAustralia @DSurte it's not and won't be for a while. do NOT consider NZ and Australia unless you want to be stuck studying online for years

LETTER TO THE NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER:

International Students:

Dear @jacindaardern , I sincerely hope you will respond to our concerns about this serious issue. Thank you in advance.

Dear @jacindaardern

International students are major contributor to #NewZealand economy ! Your government must step in to support those students who face financial ruin due to #Covid restrictions & are stranded outside NZ after paying fees etc.

#IntelStudentsNZ

[NZOffshoreMigrants @LetusbacktoNZ]

》No solid plans for migrants stranded offshore.
》Closed the border without notice.
》Ignoring since March 2020.

Welcome to #NewZealand immigration

@RaevenNZ @LetusbacktoNZ @alsortsx @VLHTT @EricaStanfordMP @UNHumanRights @NZHumanRights @NZParliament @1NewsNZ @rnz_news @JustinTrudeau @DrSJaishankar @AmitShah @RMarchNZ you clearly don't know how the real world works. Take a look at Canada and the UK.

they keep their people safe AND accept international students.

[International Students NZ #LetUsBackToNz @students_nz]

@RaevenNZ @LetusbacktoNZ @alsortsx @VLHTT @EricaStanfordMP @UNHumanRights @NZHumanRights @NZParliament @1NewsNZ @rnz_news @JustinTrudeau @DrSJaishankar @AmitShah @RMarchNZ yes we are. Why do you think NZ advertises an "education in NZ" and why haven't they clearly mentioned to International students that the borders won't open? Their lack of information is also complicit.

They need international students for their economy and they need us there.

[International Students NZ #LetUsBackToNz @students_nz]

@alsortsx @VLHTT @RaevenNZ @LetusbacktoNZ @EricaStanfordMP @UNHumanRights @NZHumanRights @NZParliament @1NewsNZ @rnz_news @JustinTrudeau @DrSJaishankar @AmitShah @RMarchNZ you can ensure your safety within a country while letting international students that pay 35K a year JUST for tuitions in. right now the country is scamming and thats about it.

[International Students NZ #LetUsBackToNz @students_nz]

New Zealand has a slow vaccine rollout, by the time they're done and the borders open it'll be 2023 #internationalstudents #NZ #LetusBackToNZ

Online university students when they get jobs

[International Students NZ #LetUsBackToNz @students_nz]

Not sure what's worse, the fact that students have to study online while paying an average of 35K NZD or the fact that the NZ government is incompetent in letting us know when they'll let us in and resume our academics normally. #LetUsBackToNz #LetUsBackToAus

[International Students NZ #LetUsBackToNz @students_nz]

The New Zealand Government had over a year to
1. figure out MIQ and a PROPER plan to bring back International students
2. Inform and update international students about the process.
All we've been getting is "currently discussing"
You have been currently discussing for a year.

[International Students NZ #LetUsBackToNz @students_nz]

If you're going to make us study online with LIMITED ACCESSIBILITY TO EVERYTHING then at least cut the fees in half?? we are NOT getting our money's worth. #LetUsBackToNz

New Zealand has been draining international students studying online while giving a rat's ass about their mental health and education.

but hey as long as they're able to subsidize with international fees.

1 international student fees = 4 domestic student fees
