A successful immigration story about a talented tradesman who came up against many delays and challenges, but he never stopped smiling.

A few interesting facts about millionaire migrants:
1) Little New Zealand is getting half as many millionaire migrants as the United States while having only 1.5% of the population.
2) The only country receiving more millionaires than Australia is the UAE but since the UAE almost never allows citizenship, Australia will end up getting some of those as well.
3) NZ + Australia receives 4,300 millionaire migrants compared to 2,500 that US + Canada, which is like saying NZ + Australia get 170% more millionaires than the US + Canada with only 8% of the population.
Insights from the Millionaire Migration Map – If millionaires are generally smart and capable people who have the ability to live almost anywhere, then why so many want to live in New Zealand and Australia?
And can we enjoy some of the same benefits of peace, nature, opportunity, weather, family, culture, future, etc… as they do?
After landing in New Zealand, foreign migrants typically comment about the friendliness of Kiwis, the cleanliness of the city, the beauty of the nature and the safe, relaxed nature of society. New Zealand is also one of the few genuinely “kid friendly” countries in the world. Job seekers have said these to me this week after landing in New Zealand and the same things were said also last month and last year and during lockdowns and before lockdowns for many years prior. New Zealand hasn’t changed.
During lockdowns, the reputation of New Zealand has been tarnished and dragged through the mud. In many cases, this is deserved. However, policies from our government don’t reflect the New Zealand society. I can offer proof of this statement based on what incoming migrants have been telling me.
I can respect the opinions of people who have been financially and professionally harmed by the bad polices of our government during lockdowns. But who is really to blame. It was a tiny few people in certain government departments who created and enforced bad policy.
New Zealand is still the best country for all those reasons that people have always loved about New Zealand. Those things have remained remarkably constant for many decades.
In my opinion and based on the informal opinion polls that I receive from new migrants; New Zealand is still the best country for all those reasons that people have always loved about New Zealand. Change is always happening, but those things have remained remarkably constant for many decades.

Great testimonial from a great Business Analyst. Pieter talks about the process of his Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) and what he did to get HIRED QUICKLY. I appreciate his kind words and wish him well into his bright future.
The link above will explain to employers how easy it is today to hire foreign job seekers.
What employers are telling me about the AEWV:
It is easy
not expensive
takes 10-days (Work Visa another 20-days)
More control over outcome
How easy is it?
I have seen a small one-person tradesman-owned company go through this process successfully even though it was his first time hiring a foreigner. If he can do it, certainly larger companies with some admin staff can do it.
Foreign job seekers and local employers have a clear pathway for working together. It doesn’t take long, it isn’t expensive and employers don’t have to rely on third parties to do the job check.
10x Cheaper?
By comparison, a New Zealander would have to pay up to 10 times more for a skilled candidate by local recruiters versus hiring a foreigner through the AEWV system. Often the quality of candidate is better from abroad also.
Example:
Cost of candidate placed by recruiter typically reaches $10,000-15,000 NZD
Cost pf candidate placed through the AEWV system approximately $1,500 NZD
Summary: There is no reason for a local NZ employer to hesitate to hire a foreigner today. The AEWV system allows them to find a good candidate first, get accredited 10-days later, and launch the rest of the process towards a work visa while retaining control in-house the entire way.
