Any Canadians currently working in New Zealand care to share how they came to fly over there? As far as I know you can get a one year working visa if you're travelling, but I'm not really sure on other available options. I'm sitting at around 650TT and I'm starting a Multi IFR soon.
Thanks.

Re: New Zealand
I recently got back from flying in NZ. The CPL conversion is simple and layed out on the CAA website ... alot easier to navigate through than TC's web site. Floats are slim to none ... the spray industry is HUGE with 750hp turbine cresco's, if you have an instructors rating they are booming right now because of all the east indian students, as for the MIfR side of things .... I havn't a clue. It's a small country with alot of pilots. Asking around I got the general understanding that you are better off in Canada when it comes to job availability though.

Re: New Zealand
personally i think you will be wasting your time converting your license and such there is limited movement in the industry down there and jobs are hard to come by, helps to know someone..
