Hi to all
Hi All,
Great forum, I've been having a look round for a few days.
Our background is Steve[hubby] is a truck driver,I Tracy am a fulltime mum,we have 4 daughters.
We are from the UK and moved to NZ in May 07,we are living in Canterbury.
We love it here,the kids have settled in brilliantly and Ste has worked for the same company since getting here.
We are over here on a 3 year work permit,the one problem is you can't get residency through HGV driver,Ste has a Engineer diploma but has'nt worked in that field for many years so we don't get the bonus points for absolute skill shortage,we are still going thro the imm process with the minimum points but it does'nt look good for us.
We do not want to go back to the UK if we don't get residency here so just sort of mulling around Canada,if that makes any sense.
Ste has family out there just like he has here and in Oz.
Will keep you updated.
Tracy.

Re: Hi to all
Hi,
Welcome to BE. We see from your second post that you have found the Trucking Forum, which is good.
This page on the WIKI might be of some value too.
