Hi there,
Few weeks back I had posted about my hopeless situation in India with regards to how annoying the mentality of the people here is and how desperately I want to get out of here.
Just to give you a gist of things - I am a 30 year old , healthy, athletic and professionally successful guy living near Mumbai, India.
I've finally decided to make a move as I'm sick of this country mainly due to reasons that affect my personal life. Professionally, I'm doing well and have been self employed for last 3 years.
Here are the two choices I have:
1. Go to Auckland for a one year Masters in Marketing and take the usual study+settle route to get a PR.
I know it's beautiful there and all that but what I'm more interested is in the work part of it since that will be important to me till I feel settled there.
So for the people who stay or who've been to Auckland, do you think it's a place that is gradually developing commercially or is it actually the way people stereotype it - a laid back town that cannot be compared to Canadian/US cities?
2. Go to Vancouver by applying for a PR from India. I have a strong profile and am confident of getting it. Good part here is that I won't be required to even study.
But I've heard the unemployment rates are very high there. I'm already an MBA with around 4 years of total experience.
Here are some additional points:
1. I can't stand extreme cold weather.
2. I'm mainly looking at Digital Marketing Industry for jobs.
3. Though I'm a loner, I do like people around me. Can't stand very isolated places.
4. Unlike people here, I'm not too picky about girls. I'm more than happy with 5s and 6s as long as they have a good nature and are open minded about things., especially open relationships.
5. Ultimate aim is to settle and then eventually start my own photography business there.
6. My english is very good and i have a 8.5 average on IELTS (pardon the typos in this post though hehe).
I have just submitted my visitor visa for New Zeland and within the next three months, will be travelling to both these places for a week to see them for myself.
But would also love to get some opinions here.
Thanks.
