Why NZ?

Quote - We have a wonderful lifestyle. We wake up every morning to the calls of tuis and wood pigeons. It's a stunning place, and I just can't get over how lucky we are.

You already know that New Zealand boasts an abundance of enviable lifestyle opportunities. In the latest Mercer Quality of Living survey of 215 world cities, Auckland and Wellington ranked 4th and 12th, respectively. London, alternatively, is ranked in a still quite respectable 38th place.

We New Zealanders are proud of your clean, green environment and the opportunities it creates for outdoor activities. Whether you and your family are seeking a vibrant cosmopolitan city or a quiet life in the county, you’ll find every option here.

Over 20,000 permanent and long term migrants made New Zealand their new home last year.

Recent government research found that 90% of skilled migrants were happy with their lives in New Zealand after one year.

New Zealand’s population of 4 million people enjoy wide-open, uncrowded spaces, while England, at half the land size of New Zealand, is home to over 51 million people (and nearly 61 million in the whole of the UK)!

A land of opportunities

New Zealand has proven to be a great place for businesses to grow and prosper – and the country is full of opportunities for skilled migrants to develop their careers.

Business confidence in the country has reached a 10-year high, with employers all over New Zealand saying that they are expecting to hire in 2010. It’s little wonder that immigration levels have also peaked, as people realise that there has never been a better time to make the move.
