New Zealand

I'm not from New Zealand being from Australia which is just next door. I have friends in New Zealand and they are the warmest, friendliest people that I have met.

Like anything on the news you only get to see the bad bits, there is no news value in reporting that 99% of migrants to New Zealand are leading happy and peaceful lives. There always seem to be a small minority that makes it bad for others and sadly they get all the news headlines.

As what I have read New Zealand is a nice place to live. My friend went to New zealand with the intention to migrate. But after 2 years she came back and sold every asset she acquired while still there. Her reason was she misses home so much that she could not survive with unfamiliar surroundings and people. True to the saying there is no place like home.

good day.. I've heard a lot about New Zealand, about it's crime rate, the industry and the people and honestly all that I've heard were good, majority of it at least if not all. So I think to know a country better why not try to read no only one newspaper but several and weight their opinions after which you can make you own.

I went to New Zealand in 2001 and 2002. I found the New Zealand people really friendly and kind. The population is less than 4 million people. I don't think that they are racist at all. I liked the areas of Northland and Coromandel Peninsular. I liked seeing the ancient trees, the stunning beaches, historic Kerikeri and seeing the wildlife. The weather was changeable just like in the UK but the seasons were the opposite. That means summer is December, January and February whilst winter is June, July and August. I hope that you will migrate to New Zealand and that you will be welcomed and treated fairly by the lovely people that live there.

You might be right,every countries are tightening up their immigration rules,i think they're working on people staying where they are and all this was caused because of the terrorisim. Anyway, i belive can live anywhere you want to live,only if you have the faith and you plan well towards it,all is possible.

I know that New Zealand is very beautiful country with breath taking landscapes. But I wouldn't want to migrate to New zealand. Even the country I live in has beautiful breath taking landscapes, seascapes.

But I would like to visit New zealnd at once. Those who have see the Movies "Lord of the Rings" would know that its all pictured in New zealand. I was amazed to see the nature in those movies and would like to see it in real.

So, I wouldn't migrate but visit it once.

I have made an application before to New Zealand, but unfortunately I wasn't able to pursue it. The expenses was quite high and the process was quite tedious. However, my consultancy told me things about New Zealand. She has told me that New Zealand was almost like Singapore in some way. The occupants of the country comes from almost all countries, that they are quite open to all nationals. Discrimination is very low as compared to the US and Australia. People are more friendly, lay back and just. Some stories that you might have heard may be true, but I guess that the prevalence of those cases weren't that high. It might even be an isolated case for all we know. And beating up of people may have a different reason which could not be linked to his status as an immigrant. After all, how many people have experienced those stuff? Considering that there's a lot of immigrants in NZ, because their government is keen on recruiting people to migrate in their country.
