Are pathways to citizenship exactly the same for the UK and New Zealand as they are for other countries?
> In Australia, 29.1% of residents (ie, citizens or permanent residents)
Being a citizen is not the same as being a permanent resident.
Exactly. "Resident" is either a citizens or a permanent resident.
This is why I also gave the numbers for number of new citizens vs new new migration. We can see from that that roughly 97.5% of permanent residents become citizens.
Net migration was 171,000 in 2021-22[2] and there were 167,000 newly conferred citizens (not counting native births)[3].
Top 5 countries of birth for Australian citizens born overseas were: England, China, India, New Zealand, Philippines. Top 5 new citizen countries of birth were: India, UK, Philippines, NZ, Pakistan.
