Immigration policy changes can occur suddenly, and can sometimes be quite significant. Information about these changes can in many cases be difficult to find and interpret.

Both the New Zealand and Australian immigration industries are regulated by independent national bodies. Registration and licencing is compulsory in both countries for anybody providing advice – standards are high and regular training and professional development is compulsory, ensuring that industry knowledge is current and in keeping with best practice.

MyVisa Manager lead adviser Shehzad Raja is a Registered Migration Agent; you can find his registration details with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) in Australia, and the Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA) in New Zealand. Shehzad is assisted by Suzanne Mahon, who is a licensed adviser in New Zealand.
