Appendix to OIA2324-0300
Caveats:
1. The data wase collated on Friday, 17 November 2023 and is accurate as of this date.
2. For tables with country of birth data counts of less than 5 have been masked with <5 to prevent identification of individuals. Totals have not
been provided as these could be used to find the masked values.
3. Country of birth is not confirmed until an application has been assessed by a LISO, therefore unassigned applications may not have the
correct country. This is often the case with people entering New Zealand as the country of birth mistakenly.
4. As the data is extracted from dynamic systems, there may be small variances when compared with prior or future datasets.
