Moving to Canada from New Zealand
IEC Working Holiday, Express Entry and the practical steps Kiwis need to take when relocating to Canada.
New Zealand citizens aged 18 to 35 can apply for the IEC Working Holiday pool, with around 2,250 places available each year. For those outside the age range or looking to stay permanently, Express Entry and provincial nominee programmes are the main routes.
The time difference, climate shock and administrative order are all bigger adjustments than most Kiwis expect. These guides cover the visa options, banking setup, healthcare enrolment and cost of living so you can plan properly before you fly.
