Привет Всем,
We are planning to take a 2-year course at Weltec and apply for a Work Visa right after graduation as not enough points for SMC pathway.
1. Do you think it's sensible to go this route when after graduation the age for immigration becomes borderline? Has anybody tried to immigrate via student route at this age?
2. Do NZ Uni require proof of source of income as we are planning to pay for education through selling our apartment in Prague?
3. Do students get a 4-year Worldwide income tax exemption status similar to new immigrants?
Why moving from Canada?
1. Job prospects are slim. The job market is very tight. New gov. policies chasing away all foreign investors. Capital flight out of Can is at all time high. Gov debt is huge. Taxes increase every six months. Having spent one month in NZ got a feel that the job market may not be that great but way better than in Canada. Had 2 job interviews in NZ. Lack of proper visa was an issue.
2. Constant cold weather is getting under the skin now.
3. Frankenstein GMO food everywhere. NZ food is great. A bit expensive though.
Thanks everybody for help!
