Great news 👏🏼

Praying that future applicants have better NZQA results and therefore less teachers on Discretionary Pathway 😊

We recommend that you submit your application before 1 October 2024, as the cost of some visas will almost double then.

We will reach out to all our signed clients to inform them of these changes.

Congratulations to our clients who have received their Practicing Certificate from the NZ Teaching Council in the last 2 weeks 🎊👏🏼

You are now NZ Registered Teachers 👩🏻‍🏫
It's been a long journey for all of you. Since the start of the year you have registered with Channel of Blessings 😊 PTE was definitely the biggest hurdle and ofcourse the long wait for your documents.

A special mention to Rov who came to us with her NZQA and many attempts at PTE exam but just could not pass, until now 🥰 and was granted her Cert with no issues!
Thank you for trusting us for your PTE reviews and patience in waiting for the perfect time to take your exam 🙏🏼 God blessed you in your perseverance in not giving up on your NZ Dream!

Where to next for Liz, Rov, Myra and Analy?
Job Hunting 🔍

All glory to God 🙏🏼

Kia ora Mariel and Aldwin 😍🇳🇿

We are truly so happy for you both!
All glory to God for the patience and perseverance He has given you both 🙏🏼

It was since March that Mariel was given her job offer 😊 her employers got accredited just for her!
The long wait to get the job check, Mariel's Accredited Work Visa and then God's amazing blessing for Aldwin's Partnership Work Visa 👏🏼👏🏼

A journey full of testimonies indeed 🎊
But Aldwin's visa getting approved straight away after calling Immigration NZ for an update (after weeks of waiting), a day before departure topped it off 🙌🏼 now you were able to fly together.

Even though his visa wasn't yet approved last week, you showed so much faith Mariel by purchasing his tickets too. And see how God has blessed 🥰

God is so good!
When it's God's will, it is meant for you ✨️

Praise God for smooth process to get your bank account activated and IRD number sorted 👏🏼

Enjoy your first day at work on Monday 🥰
Time to learn how to use the bus tomorrow 🤭
