please some help
Hi, my name is patrick and i am german citizen. My partner sandy is canadian and currently we are living in canada. We are planning to relocate to new zealand in january 2009. Right now my girlfriend is on maternity leave and she plans to start working again in february 2009.
After the EOI-Quick-Check we would get 130 points without joboffer. I was wondering if it would already make sense to apply online for the EOI or if we should wait a few more months? How long is the processing time and if selected and permitted visa application, how many months does my girlfriend have to find a job?
I hope someone knows answers to this questions.
Thanks a lot and greetings from calgary

At any rate, if your application is successful you'd have one year to get you and your new family over here to activate your residency. As far as getting a job, if your residency isn't tied to any particular employer you are free to work at whatever for whomever whenever. You could choose not to work at all if you have the financial means to do so.
Bottom line, go for it now. In fact, get cracking on it now.
Good luck Patrick.
