Family Quota NZ 14000 Applicants what chance have I got
Hi Everyone
Just heard from my father-in-law that the NZ family quota lottory will be drawn Sat 3rd May. This year they has 14,000.00 applicants and only 250 places!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That gives us a 1 in 56 chance of getting selected should know either way within 1 month. Its make or break time for that particular route. I have everything crossed.
Good luck to anyone else on this forum who is in it. Have just booked a fact finding trip to NZ for this August hopefully to buy a house or apartment in the city (auckland). Would be so sweet to have been selected in lottory, but my luck is not that good
ali
heres hoping and praying

Good luck, let me know if your application is drawn out. Have you thought about purchasing a franchise in Auckland as another possible idea?

Oh dear! Hope I didn't build your hopes up earlier. I guess more people have heard about it this year.

No don`t worry you did built my hopes up had a feeling that the applications would be high. Good luck to you and your family also. Keep me posted to your outcome. Is plan B for you a trip out there to see if you can get a job offer via the family option?

Thanks. Tell me about the franchise option, do you have any info on it. Do you have to buy a franchise that you already have experience in or can you pick any business?

I'll have to look at it again properly, I may have some details wrong, but we're still confident to be there by Xmas!
As for the franchise, I think he's talking about the 'long term business visa'. You don't need experience of that particular business, but you need to prove you have good business experience i.e you have run a successful business here in the uk.
We've run a business here, (although not too successfully!) but it appears far more complicated than going through the family route.
Anyway, good luck again,
Gra...

A franchise is an outlet or chain of a larger company that is looking to expand, promote product awareness and facilitate good public relations. This generally feeds their ego, with the public. For example this is very popular with the subway food group in America. The crucial issue I think is that it is designed for people who are not business people, no previous experience is required and the franchise option is often used by people who are looking to start a business. However this way round they have the assurance, because it is the mother company that has to make the effot, also it is an established product.
However this is the key difference between setting up your own business and purchasing a franchise:
No previous experience, minimal training required.
Moderate investment capital, you don't have to be a millionaire.
The mother company will provide and complete:
All the administrative work.
Obviously provide the product, the brand name.
Provide the infrastructure:
The premisies
Promotional material
The training
Most franchise are:
Coffee bars, salad bars, general food outlets. However you are not simply doing fry ups, but selling their product.
However if you have a specific skill, such as carpentry, then your options will be more varied.
Many people looking to immigrate purchase a franchise because obviously you can contribute to the economy, however it is not normally considered part of the business category, as far as I am aware, but many people use it as as a points booster.
There are numerous franchise guides on the net, originally they were an American invention, but have spread everywhere even North Shore!!
It is not normally limited to food, but predominantly they are. In a nutshell it's setting up a business, but without the risks and with out having milions. Unfortunately I do not have any specific site information, but there is scores of them out there.
Hope that helps, keep posting. You'll get in eventually, Mrs Clark needs you. She is single at the moment, how about a spouse visa from the prime minister!!!!!?
