🇳🇿FREE 5-DAY NZ VIDEO GUIDE HERE ➡️ www.nzahead.com/free  Here's us. We have been living in New Zealand for fifteen years, and today, we are faced with a phrase we've never heard of. The New Zealand Brain Drain. Apparently, New Zealand Brain Drain (don't worry, all will be revealed in the show) isn't a new thing. It's been around since the 1960s. But now it's back, with more meaning than ever before. In this week's podcast episode, we talk to our favourite immigration advisor, Charlotte from NZ Shores. Charlotte explains what New Zealand brian drain is, why it affects new (and old) immigrants and what the government has planned for immigration in 2025. If you are a skilled migrant hoping to move to New Zealand, New Zealand needs you! This episode may be the early Christmas present you were hoping for   🇳🇿 Remember!
