At least 150 Indian students face deportation in New Zealand for allegedly submitting fake financial documents to the Immigration authorities. They were handed over the deportation orders last week.

According to the Migrant Workers Association of Aotearoa, these students had applied for admission in private colleges through travel agents.

“They paid full fee (between 20,000 to 30,000 dollars). As per New Zealand Immigration requirements, international students need to provide evidence of enough funds to meet their living expenses for the duration of the course. The agents, in connivance with bank officials, submitted fake financial documents to the Immigration on behalf of the students. The latter had no knowledge of it till they received the deportation orders,” said Anu Kaloti of the Migrant Workers Association of Aotearoa. She said this was done despite the fact that some students had the required funds.
