The Longitudinal Immigration Survey: New Zealand (LisNZ) is a study designed to produce detailed information on the settlement outcomes of migrants over time. The LisNZ is interviewing the same cohort of migrants at 6, 18, and 36 months after taking up permanent residence in New Zealand.

New Faces, New Futures: New Zealand presents findings from Wave 1 (six months post residence), providing a comprehensive overview of early settlement experiences. Wave 1 included interviews with 7,137 migrants aged 16 years and over who were approved for permanent residence in New Zealand. Along with detailed descriptive information on the profiles of the migrants six months into residence, the report focuses on their:
- skills and resources
- labour market activities and economic integration
- social integration and settlement

The results from this survey lend strong support to immigration selection policies that value migrants with the language, skills, and qualifications that complement the needs of the New Zealand labour force.
