The Fiji Times reports Immigration Fiji director Nemani Vuniwaqa said the clampdown had resulted in some local companies questioning immigration policies.
Mr Vuniwaqa said existing policies had been strengthened not changed as that would require going to parliament.
According to the newspaper, the immigration chief says some companies have reacted because "they are now finding it difficult to bring in any Tom, Dick and Harry".
Seventy seven Chinese nationals were deported from Fiji last year in an operation involving Chinese and Fiji law enforcement agencies.
Images of the hooded suspects lined up in front of a chartered China Southern plane at Nadi made international headlines.
They were suspected of being involved in an online fraud syndicate although subsequent reports have alleged the deportees were part of a prostitution ring.
