I wish I had done it sooner

My name is Quinten, I am from Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

Challenges

The most challenging part of the process is getting all the required documentation for immigration .

NZ Shores advisers

My adviser was Anastasiya Florets’ka, she was absolutely amazing. Very friendly and assisted us with every document needed or any changes from immigration and also very responsive no matter time of day.

Impressions

My first impression of New Zealand was that it is extremely clean and beautiful and people are so friendly.

What I miss from home

What I miss from home is family time and all the knowns I grew up with.

My advice to other migrants

My advice to other migrants is to do their homework properly and rather speak to an immigration adviser and to not follow advice from other people on social media.

One thing I wish I knew

One thing I wish I knew before I moved to New Zealand was spending enough time with family as it can be quite challenging at times especially during Christmas times and birthdays.

My only comment on immigrating to New Zealand… I wish I had done it sooner.quinten
