Pro X New Zealand Ltd, with its sister companies, Panasaka and Concept Orange moved to a state-of-the-art premises in Nugogoda recently.

The opening of the premises synchronized with the arrival of a trade delegation from New Zealand.

Former Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand and the Secretary General of the Commonwealth from 1999 and 2007, Rtn Sir Don MacKinnon, High Commissioner of New Zealand, to India, Sri Lanka and Nepal, Graham Morton, Counsel for New Zealand in Sri Lanka, Senaka Silva, and representatives of tertiary educational institutes in New Zealand, clients, friends and well-wishers of the company were also present.

Pro X is a family owned company incorporated in New Zealand and is wholly owned by the Weerasundara family who migrated to New Zealand in the 1990s.

In Sri Lanka, Pro X New Zealand is jointly owned by the New Zealand parent company and educationalist Sanjeewa Bambarenda.

Pro X provides education consultantation with Asoka Weerasundara and Sanjeewa Bamberanda registered as ENZ trained agents. Last year Pro X facilitated the signing of a MoU between CIMA Sri Lanka and one of the leading education providers in New Zealand.

Weerasundera said, "Having knowledge of the ground realities of both countries is definitely an advantage for us. At the same time as we are incorporated in both countries clients get the protection of the laws of both countries."

Under the immigration laws of New Zealand only licenced advisers can provide advice on matters relating to immigration.

He said that it is the duty of a licensed immigration adviser to educate the market about the risks associated with obtaining advice from unauthorized people.

He said that people should ask for the licence and identification card of the adviser before obtaining advice.

All licenced advisers are bound by the code of conduct of 2014 to display their license at the business premises and also show their wallet card to clients before providing advice, said Weerasundara
