50121 (2025). Ingrid Leary to the Minister of Immigration: Which former citizenship group is represented most often, in the quickest processing of applications for permanent residence?

Hon Erica Stanford: The member's question is factually inaccurate. Permanent residence does not convey New Zealand citizenship. As such, permanent residents continue to retain their citizenship of the other country or countries.
