Skied there a few times and sisters bf moved over as a plumber. I'll ask him for you

Whatever you do, do not emigrate to Wales there are far too many Yorkshire men there already.

 

[steptoe]

e.mail the embassy and request the requirements of a skilled migrant,

thats how it works for kiwiland anyway,

or simply try google,

most stuff can be found there, its a new fancy interweb thingie thats searches for stuff for you if your too lazy to search for it yourself

I take it hes not much of a 'friend' then if you are even helping him move there

a real friend would have talked him out of it,,,,,,,,,,,, :slap

I tried, but his argument that wales was better than his other job offer in Luton was hard to beat.

Plus I can't believe how cheap his rent is!

 

[steptoe]

yer, you will find sheep are much cheaper than ladies for a few hours company,

I thought it was only boys that rented? :|

 

[danmoriarty]

I suppose that depends on what kind of lady you're spending your money on....

Can girls not rent??? I'm confused

 

[steptoe]

rent girls just doesnt have the same [ahem] ring to it! :slap

His friend is a sheep so it is just one man and his sheep!!!!

He will be the odd one out as most of the Welsh......especially the two i met last week have at least twenty sheep each

I lived and worked in Las Vegas for 3 years........I came back as the country is a bit of a joke, especially the health care

headbang

Saying that if i was to do it again then Canada or the south of France would be my first 2

I travel to Canada every year as i have relations there. About the same time as us there 'Part P' equivalent was introduced, but i understand stricter. You have to have the local qualifications, Uk ones mean nothing. Last year i had a long wait at the airport whilst returning & i got chatting to two sparkies doing some maintenance. They had exactly the same gripes as us about foreign workers undercutting them and no-one taking notice of the laws about who can do what.

My family lives in Toronto & building works are only carried out 8 months a year in Ontario due to the cold weather (It can hit -30, & normally below -15) his own works at his house over run and he had to rent an air conditioned tent that was fitted round the extension so it could be finished

I went to nz on a working holiday visa. When I was there I applied for residency. Very straight forward and quick. No problem s.

I appled for residency from this end took 9 months of hassles and grief. I still keep the paperwork up to date when renewing passports cos you never know....

I did it the hard way, from this end and took the whole family. Lived in Morrinsville, Waikato 3 years and Takapuna, N Shore Auckland 2 years. as you say happy days. Went back 4 years ago and was surprised at the cost of living. Make sure you re apply for residency permiit to be transferred when you get new passports
