Immigration New Zealand make a booboo.
While excellent use of the English language is supposed to be a pre-requisite of migrating to New Zealand – so much so that even people born in England have to fill in a stupid question saying why we think we have this skill – INZ staff still struggle with the concept sometimes.
They are about to launch a website to persuade the people of Singapore to move here – unfortunately they say
Immigration NZ will try to win over Singaporean migrants by selling New Zealand as a country which offers “brilliant work and study experiences plus a relax lifestyle” – and affordable housing and car ownership.
“Compared to prices in Singapore, you’ll probably find your money will go a very long way in the New Zealand housing market,” prospective migrants will be told.
Ah yes – the old “come to New Zealand – its cheap” – chestnut.
Thankfully the website hasn’t launched yet – so they still have time to spellcheck and proofread and avoid looking stupid.
I hope

Anybody knows if this website already launched? I am Singaporean and have “immense” interest in moving to kiwi land…….I am bit late with this news but better late than never……guess the opportunity is still open although from recent reports, seems like the scheme is receiving over-flowing response from singaporeans…..
