Re: My husband been laid off and we have three weeks before our work permits expires
 

With my first employer YES!!!!!!! A highlight of my last few years was when the CEO was jailed for fraud.

The experiences of other immigrants from Europe that we have met, in particular Germany, who have also been lied to has also not helped.

It may very well be a tough world out there, BUT........

For the record, my employers have been absolutely excellent.
I'm here on TWP at the moment, and couldnt have asked for a more supportive experience.

While it"s no consolation to the originator of this thread, there is an article in today's Daily Mail about UK ex-pats being kicked out of New Zealand because of losing jobs while on a TWP.

I laughed at the irony of that article as only 3/4 weeks back, whilst in GB slagging mode the Daily Mail had an article championing the lifestyle on offer in NZ and 1000's of Brits were heading there.

Horrible, horrible waste of newsprint. (IMHO)
