I'm from Canada. Should I move to New Zealand?

**coteesh** · 29th February 2008, 17:02

Vancouver rains too much, Victoria rains less but is still kinda chilly in the winter and cloudy, and everywhere else in Canada there is too much snow and ice and gravel on the roads to ride about 6 months out of the year and I'm going insane here half of the year. I enjoy riding, hiking mountains, skiing, humidity, nice weather, beaches, and people that speak English. (or some form of it

). Most of these things I can do in Canada but only half the year.

So I should probably move to New Zealand right? I can't really think of any reasons not to.

I'd ship my motorcycle and a few other things in a crate by sea for $500 and arrive on a plane shortly before the crate arrived is the plan. I have my own engineering consulting company and I don't know how that's going to pan out in terms of taxes, working visa, etc. hmmmmmm. I wonder how difficult it might be to get a visa and maybe I should just do a temporary working visa or should I just go for citizenship off the bat ?

Come on over! Best come for a visit first and case the joint, but be warned, once here you may never want to leave...

Ironicaly we are considering moving to Canada... weird. Come over, you will love it. We have loads of personality and the cost of insurance is waaaayyy cheaper. Housing is more expensive but wages pay more on average and yes I have done my homework. If ya do come over look us up we arnt far from Auckland internation Airport and any excuse for a ride?

Speak to a chap named Waylander, hes from Canada and lives here now

**Waylander** · 29th February 2008, 18:11

Wouldn't be so easy to spot this for a dig at me if this thread wasn't in PD.

Do something original folks. Or are you all the same as the sheep you sleep with?

**Ixion** · 29th February 2008, 18:14

I am not going to bother quoting you lot, but...to almost all of you I address the following!

How rude!

Just because someone asks in a different way about moving to Noo Zeelnd you should not be smart! A little bit of help and advice would probably be a better way of responding! Mom is not impressed at all!

I was serious, I genuinely believe he's from Canada, Mom. I was just giving Waylander shit.
