Changes to our immigration policy are on the cards today.

Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse is set to make the announcement in Queenstown.

Bill English has hinted at tweaks designed to better control the flow and type of migrants into New Zealand.

ANZ chief economist Cameron Bagrie told Nadine Higgins a broader look at those crying out for staff across the country, shows it's not just the construction industry.

"It's IT related, so the people we are bringing in might have admirable skills on the face of it, but if you look at where we've got real deficiencies, we've got a miss-match, so obviously we need a little bit of realignment here."
