As an immigrant in New Zealand, I can say it is never easy to start over in a new country.
As soon as I could, I started to volunteer in different places, taking English language classes, improving my confidence in speaking and trying to get a better understanding of the language and the new culture. Because there is a lot of diversity and culture mixed together this process was made much easier.
Finding “the job” is not always an easy process for everyone. Some have a job-locked visa, or a lack of English level required for the job, or, others just find a new vocation to follow.
I believe the system in New Zealand is fair and I can see this through the large amount of immigrants that have jobs in all different occupations, and many are able to improve their qualifications and education through courses and classes.
