    I am just trying to get the photos done for us all so I can get our entry in for 2016. There is so much going on here lately that I am finding time to do this one small thing a little tricky LOL We have booked our tickets for Canada, and we fly out on Dec 7. Very excited. We are having Xmas at...

    Having a jealous day of all the people who are, or who are almost certainly going to become, current *sigh* I keep coming in here and reading, but feeling like a fraud because i know we aren't actually going to get a Greencard from this Draw. Am trying to organise my pics to get ready to enter...

    Yes I have also been told by people that it is very hard to replace everything, you have so much more to buy than you imagine and you miss the things that make it your home. Our quote is from NZ to Toronto, and its $13K. This is borderline for us as if our visa expires and we have to return to...

    Who is going to ship all their stuff over, and who is going to sell up and buy new ( or used) when they arrive ? We have just had a quote to ship our house lot to Canada, and its pretty expensive, although I admit the quote was still a little lower than I feared it would be. Just juggling...

    Student. My husband wants to retrain and the course he is doing is not readily available in New Zealand. Its a 2 year visa for study, and then ( assuming he finishes and passes) that automatically entitles us to a 3 year work visa. By then we will either love it there, or hopefully we'll have...

    Oh my goodness, we just got our Visas for Canada today. Very excited !! and it makes up a bit for thinking I had won a green card and then realising I hadn't really at all ! Flying out Just before Christmas, so will be quite a shock to arrive in an Ontario Winter I should think.

    where abouts are looking in Canada ? We are going to Ontario. If it all goes ahead and our Visa's get approved, then we will be out of here before Christmas, Christmas in California with Family, then over to Utah to visit good friends, and then fly to Toronto from there. Just in time to freeze...

    Yeah I am another Kiwi girl. I am not especially hopefully we will actually get an interview though. We have just applied for our Canadian visa, so fingers crossed that will go smoothly. And even better would be if the VBs make me think I should change my interview place to Toronto.

    I, hopefully, am going to be doing my (unlikely) interview in Toronto. Should I just ask to unlock my DS260 forms and change it on this? or should I just contact KCC and notify them ? Thanks

    To be honest, while I am not writing it off, I am pretty much assuming I haven't really won either. I will be checking the VBs and I really enjoy reading in here, but we are going ahead with other plans, which sadly don't include moving to USA. We are thinking of maybe speeding 6 months over...

    I have my actual 6th form cert ( yr 12) and that is adequate I hope. I wish I could remember where I saw it, but I did once come across a website that listed 6th form as 'equivalent' to 12 yrs of schooling. I will try to find the page again, but don't hold ya breath !! It might have been US...
