Cornwall- best part of England IMO

But there are some lovely spots in NZ also.

Good luck & feel free to ask any questions.

Hello everybody,

I just joined expatforum and loving it already. Surfing through the site I have learnt more about moving to NZ in the last couple of hours than in a month. So - Thank you!

I've been planning to move to New Zealand since the last six months and after sorting out one or two final niggles, I will be submitting my EOI, hopefully, by the first of August, along with my best friend.

When I tested my EOI points on the Immigration NZ website, it came to 190. I was told this is enough. Please, wish me luck.

Woh!!! 190 points. That's a heck of a score. You must be a brain surgeon and already have a job offer ;-)

Cornwall is beautiful but it's not what it used to be

We're hoping that NZ will bring better opportunities for all of the Family. It's just very daunting that we know we're going to have to move out with no jobs in tow!!

We're hoping to go out there asap to give our CV's to potential employers but it would then be a while before our VISAs come through.
Is it better to wait until a few months prior to wanting to move permanently to do this or asap?

Unfortunately - we have to wait until at least the end of 2012 because we Foster, so the placement will come to an end naturally around that time and then we have to wait to sell our house (as we're not planning on coming back!!!)

Regards
Kieren and Rebecca

Hello everyone!
My name is Amr, I'm a 30 year old Egyptian pharmacist. My wife - also a pharmacist - and I are planning to move to NZ within the next 12 months. I was wondering if anyone can help us with the steps for migration. We're applying to sit the Pharmacy exam next march. Will this be enough to recognize our skills? Or do we still have to do the NZQA assessment as well before submitting my EOI? I would also like to know where is the best place to live and raise a family in NZ..

Thanks!

Hi,
Not sure if this will help Pharmaceutical Society of New Zealand
its the pharmacist association of NZ you could email them your questions - they will know what you need to study and pass etc

Best place to raise a family...good question.
If you want a busy, over populated, multicultural city you could choose Auckland.
Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin are big cities but cooler climate than Auckland.

Smaller cities such as New Plymouth where I live are a good option also - but the smaller ciities do not have Universitys (apart from palmerston North).

If you want to know about any cities in NZ, let me know and i will tell you what i know :-) I have lived in NZ for nearly 40 years and about to move to australia.
