The following reports detail the findings from the 2005, 2007, 2008 Settlement Experience Feedback Surveys (SEFS) of migrants who have taken up residence in New Zealand.
The Settlement Experiences Feedback Survey (SEFS) was designed to monitor and provide a detailed picture of early settlement outcomes (i.e. the first year of settlement) for Skilled/Business Stream migrants who have taken up residence in New Zealand.
The SEFS collects information regarding specific aspects of migrants’ settlement outcomes in New Zealand, including employment and income, satisfaction with housing and children’s schooling, and access to core services, as well as likes, dislikes and satisfaction with living in New Zealand.
