;D Thank goodness for that, think I am driving them potty at immigration, they will be glad when I'm gone.
So basically, I am waiting for the Statutory Declaration from my daughter' s dad, (he has put this off twice sice last week) and waiting for the paperwork for my registration.
That is a point if people are wanting to emmigrate.
If you have a profession, check if you need to be registered in New Zealand before applying for Work Visas and PR. It may take awhile for you to get the necessary documentation, i.e. to be registered as a midwife I had to:
Submit a CV
Professional Portfolio
Answer 43 competencies or questions with examples to back it up.
Contact the University so they could send my course paperwork, results and stuff.
Contact the Midwifery Council here so they could send information about me being a midwife. I had to send a fee to the Uni and midwifery council, which all adds up.
Send certified copies of passports ,marriage and birth certificates, had to go in front of a magistrate to do this. Again another fee. Though cheaper than getting a solicitor to do it.
I then sent this off to NZ, cost ?18.
I wonder if you have to do this for teachers etc. As I said, check because it's very time consuming.
I would in hindsight do this about the same time as the EOI.
I was wondering, do we have a place on here, on how to do your EOI and your ITA. If we have examples of how people have gone about it. With costs, timings, i.e when to collect paperwork. If there are custody issues with children, getting consent or having to go to court as all this can take time and money.
I didn't go through a representative, has anyone done it and was it costly or did it save money in the long run/
