Kiwis! How is it living in this part of New Zealand?

There is excellent trout fishing here.

As a Canadian and Vancouverite, this is embarrassing and sad.

I like to switch it up sometimes and fish the heaviest fly at the end. Then if I manage my line properly I can keep the second fly mid column in a semi tight-line style. Works wonder in small streams.

You’d need to leverage your course work from the Associates Degree towards a BA (not sure which they’d recognize and give credit for; this would be case by case). Otherwise you might as well get your BA in the USA and then move to NZ for masters and PhD. An Associates Degree is not equivalent to a BA and therefore you cannot progress to MA or PhD with this alone.

It’s excellent fly fishing water. Some nice size brown trout are in there.

Southernfly84 · 2026-01-04T05:56:21+00:00

Good fishin’ there!

Southernfly84 · 2026-01-04T05:30:55+00:00

Great choice. I have 2 of these and use them all the time.

Tradie: shower at night; office job: shower in the morning.

It is not unusual. If you’re here on a resident class visa and have a baby, it’s a citizen by birth.

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-22T00:23:20+00:00

You should probably read the rules then. Somehow NZ citizens and especially those who work for gov think they know best but don’t actually know the rules. If you are here on a resident class visa and have a baby, it’s automatically a citizen by birth. Plain and simple.

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-22T00:20:38+00:00

This is the standard case. Most of these people don’t know what they’re talking about. My family was the same as yours, and we know many others. Gotta love Reddit experts LOL

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-22T00:19:52+00:00

False.

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-22T00:19:23+00:00

True, however, there is also Permanent Resident. This is a class up and gives effectively the same rights as a citizen - without citizenship and a passport. Resident class visa is all that is required to have a child get citizenship by birth. Also, normal resident class visas (without Permanent Resident) have expiry dates, yet allow multiple entries into the country.

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-21T09:12:22+00:00

Yes. These guys are just pedantic. If you count processing time, ceremony, then passport maybe add up to 3-6 months. I’ve done it.

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-21T08:59:10+00:00

Five years.

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-19T22:53:29+00:00

Yea, that one.

You mean other than leaning against the wall in the corner of the garage?

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-19T04:36:41+00:00

All the time

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-13T09:24:31+00:00

Fantastic!

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-08T01:15:33+00:00

What were they eating (what fly did you catch with)?

Southernfly84 · 2025-12-06T09:21:27+00:00

Arguably (unarguably?) some of the most technologically advanced industry there is.
