The Longitudinal Immigration Survey: New Zealand (LisNZ) is a longitudinal survey designed to trace the pathways of migrants and to produce a detailed, ongoing information base of their experiences and settlement outcomes. Migrants are interviewed at 6, 18, and 36 months after they have taken up permanent residence in New Zealand. The findings from the LisNZ are used to inform immigration policy, particularly in the areas of immigration selection and settlement policies. The findings will also help a variety of agencies and community groups to develop services for migrants. The LisNZ is a partnership between Statistics New Zealand and the Department of Labour.
