I find it interesting how so many people are unsatisfied with their home country and then are unhappy with the 1st country they migrate to and then unhappy with the 2nd country they migrate to and so on and so on.
Being as NZ citizen I had the opportunity to live and work in Canada. TBH everything in Canada is quite expensive and wages are sucks. I have lived in Calagary and didn’t like at all. In my opinion NZ is much better than Canada and yes I moved back to NZ after spending 6 months in Canada. If you are PR or Citizen in Australia or NZ moving to Canada is not worth. However this is my just my opinion. No hate to Canada.
That's the thing which I also feel Another benefit is that People can easily travel to their Asian home country whereas in canada There is Very High prices of flights and hours
Hi guys we are NZ citizenns already, im looking into company internal transfer from Auckland to Canada. Im having second thoughts and wanted to get insights. You think cost of living is cheaper in Canada than here? How about wages? Slowly trying to research and do some studies now before we decide. Thanks for this video😊
Both of you sounds so confident answering the quarry's thank you for your beautiful video. i need one strait answer if you can give will be great support i am in double mind Canada or New Zealand what is better to live with family ?
Hello I am quite influenced by your videos. I am currently in NZ,been here for 6 yrs now planning to move Canada.Would you please share which consultant you went through. Much needed. Thanks
Iwill never leave my country for anything. NZ is my home to the day im 6ft under. Why and what reason you 2 moved to canada. Working? Was it cheap there? Any wild animal?
What a lovely couple 💕. Btw, im a skilled worker from the Philippines now, i got job offers from both countries. Which do you think would I choose? Which country can I bring my wife faster? Is Canada better to live?
Hi there, thanks for pointing out that fact. We did experience the cold inside our places (we lived different cities in NZ) during winter and it wasn't easy. Heating system in Canada is much better for us.
Kia Ora guys, thank you for sharing this, Me and my family are currently residing here in NZ under PR, we are thinking moving to Canada as my parents are already there. If you don't mind what would be the best pathway entering Canada with the whole family? Cheers mate!
Hi Ian, there are several programs for immigrating to Canada which depend on your background, profile, financial capacity... For example, many people come to study first (with their spouse and kids), work and apply for PR for whole family. Or some can get a job offer from outside Canada, work and apply for PR. That option is not common as getting a skilled job offer offshore is not easy. There are also options in investor or start-up visa or self-employed person... Maybe you can talk to an RCIC (licensed immigration consultant) to have a better idea.
Thanks for great infor. May I know how long did was your Express Entry process? When did you submit your EE application? I received an invitation in 11/2019, but there is no result up until now. Thanks.
Hi there, we submitted our Express Entry in Jan 2018 and got Passport request in May 2018. Then it took us some extra time as we were travelling. Did you receive ITA under FSW?
Hi Amir, one of the main reasons is we got PR from Canada and we don't want to waste it (a deadline to land) and we also wanted to explore another country. Second, we believe Canada will give us more job opportunities. Another thing is Canada allows parent sponsorship (with a limit of course) and super visa - we would love to bring our parents here temporarily or permanently depending on their wish.
Hi.... Thank you for sharing your experiences. Me and my husband are currently living in New Zealand and looking at the possibility to Move in Canada😊 May i please know what immigration consultant company did you guys use? 😊
Hey guys! Which country do you think is better for an IT job (Networking and Security), taking into consideration work life balance, salary and savings? Thanks
Hi Xander, sorry we don't work in IT sector so we can't really say much about it. I just did some research which showing average income for Network security engineer is about C$80-110k/year in Canada, NZ$90-110/year in New Zealand, probably not a big difference. Canada may have more opportunities with a bigger IT market but I guess it doesn't matter if you can work remotely. Saving will quite depend on your lifestyle. And I would say New Zealand may be more laid back in terms of work life balance, or at least that what I found in New Zealand.
I personally did not find much difference re working environment in New Zealand and Canada, both are multi-cultural (maybe a bit more in Canada), friendly and supportive. Please let me know if you want to know some specific factors.
Hi there, we both studied in New Zealand, worked in skilled job category, out of Auckland, under 39 years old, IELTS... That should add up over 160 points for our application.
Your reference to paying higher tax on second job in NZ (and not in Canada) is incorrect. In NZ there is a higher withholding rate on secondary income which is designed to ensure that you have enough total tax deducted. In both countries you effectively pay higher tax on the second income, but in Canada you could end up not having enough tax deducted and get a big surprise when you file your tax return.
Thank you Maxx 🙂 To be honest, I don't see big difference between cost of living in New Zealand and Canada, let's say if I compare the rent between Auckland vs Toronto, almost similarly high. For food costs, maybe Canada is a bit cheaper and more varieties of food due to its geographic location. On the other hand, minimum wage in NZ is much higher than in CA so you may be earning more in NZ. However, job opportunities and salary ranges may be a different story. Sorry for not giving you an exact answer!
