Uk to Canada or New zealand???


Ok so my parents are certain they want to move out of the UK. They are looking at either Canada or New Zealand but which is best?
We are a family of 4. Mom is a nurse and would therefore be the visa applicant. Dad works in the manufacturing industry. I will finish school before emigrating and would be looking at university, my brother will be starting secondry school. I would like info on the best country for education,lifestyle and a place that is less stressful then England.
Thank you.

I have lived in Canada first, then the UK, and now live in New Zealand. I suppose something about that order tells you something about Canada already. Canada is very beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I left there out of sheer boredom. The winters in Canada seem permanent. It's like you never get to see anything green or leave the house without major clothing, and if you get in your car and drive (and I have to say, they've got cool cars there if you like big, American ones) to see something different, you end up driving endlessly, and may not see anything different at all, just the same old, huge prairie.

I left the UK because the crime freaked me out, and the cost of living meant I came pretty close to having to live in a cardboard box on the sidewalk. But it certainly was more exciting than Canada, and had more opportunity and character. Sorry, any Canadians - I don't mean to slam your country, it's just that, if you've come from elsewhere, it's really very... serene.

NZ has the density of places to go and feel diversity (I can go skiing or surfing on the same day), and the visuals are mindbogglingly colourful, the light amazing. Flowers and greenery are always up and running, and winter means, even down here where I live (Otago is considered NZ's freezer), that I may have to scrape a bit of frost off my windscreen maybe three times a year before I drive off to work in the morning, but I can have my lunch outside in the sun.

Your mum is a nurse from the UK? She'll be accredited and have a job right away. My wife is a nurse, and they are absolutely gagging for more. UK registration was accepted immediately - in Canada, that may not be so easy.

Schools and universities are of similar quality and cost in both countries.

Thanks so much you really really interested me with your answer =D xx Report It

Apply, and see what happens.

Deport illegals, and keep the dream alive.
