Do it for your kids. Don't hesitate anymore.

Dear Hock,

Is Canada better than NZ? I am looking for a place where I can retire while my kids goto University. When they graduate, they can find a job in the US.
The cold is Canada is the part that might cause me a U-turn.

Re: Cold

Whether it is cold or mild, is all relative. I may consider 10C as mild, and continue to wear shorts and T shirt (in Oct, when the day time high may be 10C), whereas others may feel cold in 10C weather.

The significant issue is to dress in layers of natural fabrics, such as cotton and wool. Cotton undershirt, cotton long sleeve shirt, wool vest or sweater, jacket. Consider wearing a wool beret or hat.

But the Canadian winter could be longer than desired, say 4 months or longer. Be positive, and enjoy winter sports.

Depends on your definition of "better". You need to define your yardsticks. If you think the USA is where your kids fortunes lie, then Canada is obviously a better choice than NZ as the US is just a hop away. If you want peace and quiet plus low overheads, then NZ is the place to be.

Canada isn't a "dot". It's huge. Some parts of the country have cold winters while the West Coast has very mild winters in comparison.

There are hordes of them here as well. Don't understand why people still want to migrate when they have to face so many hostile natives.

I'm new to this forum and am hoping that seniors out there will help with my questions

1) I submitted my Canadian PR application in Aug 2007 under the skilled worker scheme. Now after waiting for almost 36 months, they still have not requested for me to submit documents. Furthermore my occupation is not among the 29 under the new list anymore. My fear is that there will be a longer wait time. Anyone out there in a similar situation?

2) I intend to quit my job soon and work on a freelance (self employed?) basis. Will this affect the outcome when they process my application?

Thanks in advance!
