Concerns from National, that we're still not doing more to attract skilled migrants.

New figures from Stats NZ show New Zealand had a net migration loss of more than 11-thousand people in the year to June.

It's the 16th consecutive month the country has recorded a net migration loss.

National Immigration spokesperson Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking says the one thing migrants want is certainty, and we're not offering that.

She says unless you're on the green list and get fast-tracked to residency, or you earn $115,000, there's no pathway to residency for you.
