Immigration NZ meet their legal obligation to protect personal information by randomly rounding totals in the tool base three. This is best practice from Stats NZ. It does mean figures can be different to their previously published data.

Immigration NZ have made some changes to student visa holders substreams in our Population dataset. In particular:
Renamed the Exchange Student substream to Scholarship.
Reclassified a number of application criteria which were previously grouped under the Other substream:

Child of NZ cit/res and Oct 2000 - Dependent Student criteria are now classified under the Dependent substream.
The Distance Education criterion is now classified under the Fee Paying substream.
