"Thanks very much! Your professional advice and kindest support helped us to pass through the most difficult period of time in our life. I and my girlfriend submitted our residence application in late 2008, until present, we spent almost two years to get final approval. During this period of time, we even thought about quite, abondoned our dream in New Zealand and go back where we from. I went to your office seeking for help after I received letter from INZ in March 2010 regarding to provide additional information. At that time, we had already made decision that this is final try, because we had spent too much time on it. Since you took over our case, we did not think and worried about our case as often as before, sometime we even forgot we were applying PR. Every time I sent you email inquire progress, you always provide me accurate information and feedback form my case officer. Sometimes it took a few days to get your reply, but we understood you were waiting for reply from our CO. Until a month ago, you had informed me my case had been passed to our CO's manager to review. And last week, we received AIP letter from INZ. At the moment of I saw "AIP" in this letter, I was very excited (no words can describe the feeling). Later on, we thought we shouldhave asked you to handle our case earlier, so this letter may arrive to our hand earlier. All in all, I am very impressed about your way of dealing with clients. Honest, creditability, well preparation .... all these things prove you are trustworthy immigration consultant. Once again, thanks very much Peter. We are heading for a new chapter."

"When I started working at my company (name withheld), I became concerned about my future for residence reasons and expectations from my family. Then through recommendations from my colleagues and employer, I went to Mr Peter Hendrikx at Terra Nova Consultancy for his help in application for PR. With his profession in immigration services, I received the approval very soon after the application. EOI application sent out in November 2009, reply from Immigration in early 2010, and I got the Approval in Principle letter this August. My family and I are very excited, and would like to thank Peter and his team for their great effort, and recommend Terra Nova Consultancy to anybody for their service."

"We arrived in New Zealand in October 2006 not knowing anybody or anything with regard to immigration process. We were put in contact with Peter Hendrikx of Terra Nova Consultancy by our bank manager at National Bank. Peter explained to us what our options were and what would be the best route to take. We supplied Peter with the information that he requested from us and Peter did the rest. During our dealings with Peter he was very professional, helpful and understanding to our needs. As you can see from the letter head, peter's application on our behalf for a long term business visa was successful and we now own our own business in New Zealand. After owning our business for 2 years we were allowed to apply for residency, so again we turned to Peter. He told us what information he would need to send our application to immigration and again we supplied him with this and he did the rest and on 29th October 2009 we received confirmation that our application had been successful. With regards to Peter Hendrikx and Terra Nova Consultancy, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any body requiring help with applying for immigration as they seem to make the whole process easy and painless. Thanks again Peter for everything".

"This letter is to thank my consultant Mr Peter at Terra Nova Consutlancy for getting things done very easily and quickly without any hassle. About a year ago, I had gone to Mr Peter for my in-laws applications. When we talked to him, we were very happy with the consulting fee and his explanations. Within a few months, we received a letter saying that our application was in consideration and will take upto 2 years which we were satisfied with. Shortly after, my in-laws application for visa/permit to come to New Zealand had been accepted. I was delighted with his excellent level of communication and professionalism with his customers and reasonable fees. To me, Mr Peter is a very helpful person and I would recommend his services to any future clients."

"Dear Peter, Just a more personal letter of thanks to you following the receipt of the confirmation of the success of our Permanent Residency Appeal to express our gratitude and appreciation of the totally professional way in which you managed our case submission. From the beginning you have given balanced, constructive and realistic advice without at any stage raising false hopes. Regardless of the outcome my wife and I have always felt fully confident in your experience, expertise and guidance. Thank you very much."
Fam A Fletcher, PR SMC Appeal RRB
"Dear Peter. My family and I would like to thank you for your assistance with getting PR visa for our son Andrey. We visited a lot of immigration consultants, but only you advised him to apply for his PR visa as a dependent child in his age of 24. We could not believe when in three month time he become permanent resident of New Zealand. Your knowledge and understanding of immigration law helped us a lot. Thank you very much."
Family Donets, PR Family Dependent Child policy
"When my family noticed our PR appel was successful, we were overwhelmed with joy as we could now stay in New Zealand happily ever after. Our PR application was declined previously; Peter assessed the possibilities of winning the appel and encouraging our hopes of doing so. He has stood by me and my family and guided us as we steer through the minefield of a seemingly tough appeal process. Only within a couple of months, our residency permit was granted. The result of my application is evidence of Peter’s impeccable attention to detail and comprehensive knowledge of the immigration legislation and procedures. Thanks to Terra Nova Consultancy, and the professional way in which Peter handled my PR appeal case. We cannot thank enough for the guidance that Peter has imparted. Getting the PR Visa without his help seems un-thinkable. We wish Terra Nova all the best and success for now and in the near future."

"Dear Peter, we would like to thank you for your service in handling our immigration into New Zealand. At least for us, our case was not an easy one. It was somewhat complex to begin with. In addition, the amount of time and finances we had invested for our immigration plcaed additional stress factors on us. Anyway, with out your assistance and services, we would have surely been overwhelmed by the complexity of having to deal with the New Zealand Immigration Service. Since we first contacted you via email from Bangkok, Thailand; we were impressed with your professionalism and focus with our isssues in regards to immigrating to New Zealand. We has made several contacts to other Immigration Consultants and Attorneys both in Thailand and New Zealand and none were able to provide us with proper direction. Though at this time, we had not retained your services, you took the time to give us direction and information needed to prepare us for the immigration process. It is during that time period, that we made the decsion to seek your services once we arrived into New Zealand. After retaining your services, we were relieved that someone competent was representing us, and confident that you would successfully handle our case. having you represent us, gave a positive out look that our case would be handled properly and with a favourable outcome. We feel strongly that because of your professionalism, knowledge of NZ immigration, and true concern to our case, that our immigration has been a success. We sincerely, have no negative comments to make about your services. Pachariya and I would like to thank you, and wish you all the best."

"There is no word around to look for and express our feelings for Mr Peter Hendrikx and his team. My family and I would have never ended up coming to New Zealand and starting a successfull buisness only if Terra Nova Consultancy was not there for our guidance. I came across knowing Mr Peter Hendrikx through our friend. When we first applied for our LTBV through him. Our first application was unsuccessful but we managed to withdraw our application. Our friend arranged my meeting with Mr Peter in Wellington. Mr Peter's professional immigration experience amazed me. He was very quick at understanding our case. Peter re-worked on our case and I was able to get LTBV to New Zealand. Landing to New Zealand, our first visit was to Terra Nova Consultancy. To our surprise, as we entered his office, he was on the telephone attending other clients but he recognised us and he was waving at us. He called our daughters names, was another big surprise for us. From day one Mr Peter guided us in running our business and our stay in New Zealand, until the right time came for us to apply for the permanent residence. He was there for us again. We were very much organised working with him and did not give the New Zealand Immigration department any loopholes. Through Peter's professionalism, our PR was approved only in 70 days. What a great job. His kind, friendly and professional approach never gives his clients a second thought. Hendrikx name itself speaks up with his sword and his shield for his achievements. My family and I stand bold and salute Terra Nova Consultancy and let alone Peter Hendrikx himself. A great job!!! Well done!!! A big thank you, vinaka vakalevu. Lots of love, Liaqat, Ashia, Faiza and Zika."

"After 6 months, we successfully got our Permanent Residence on 2 September 2008. Here we would like to pass our warmest thanks to Mr Peter Hendrikx. Peter can provide more professional service than lots of other agencies. I entrusted my PR application to a Chinese agent in 2007. Before we paid their service fee, they showed us their enthusiasm and earnest attitude onto our case. However, everything changed after they got the first part service fee. They just left our case to INZ passively and never care about the process of our application even I kept chasing them. After 6 months, I decided to withdraw their service and changed to Peter who was introduced by my friend as he got lots of successful cases. Peter well and fully understands the immigration policy and help me prepared all documents to meet the requirement of INZ. Also, he kept chasing the case officer and follow up my application. For all my enquiry and questions, peter gave me detailed explanation and answers quickly and in time. As the client of Peter, I feel really confident and full of hopes. Peter makes me the first person to get PR with job from the case officer. My case officer is famous for his slow action. I went to the online forum and chatting with people who have the same case officer as me. Most of them have already been waiting for more than 10 months since their application receive by INZ. They tried to send email and ring case officer, but there is no feedback from case officer. Lucky me, with professional skills and responsible attitude, Peter kept chasing my application and kept pushing the case officer. I successfully got my PR during 6 months. Once again, I really appreciate Peter's hard work and earnest attitude. With his help, we can smoothly get our permanent residence and achievement one milestone of our life in New Zealand."
Winnie Wang and spouse, SMC, Permanent Residence
"Dear Peter. This is just a short note to thank you for all your hard work and persistence in gaining our mother permanent residency within New Zealand. The case was a complicated one and the process was lengthy and at times discouraging, however, you remained confident for which we are thankful. Without your help we would have become totally bewildered but with your expertise we were able to sit back and let you do what you are best at. You have enabled our family to stay together and for that we are immensely grateful. I trust our relationship will continue in friendship and look forward to seeing you soon."

"Dear Peter. This is really a late letter to thank you for all your help during the whole processing of our Permanent Residents Application. After granting the Permanent Residents in New Zealand, we were really busy preparing our own business to make our life better. The first time we went to see you was in 2003, and after that we visited nearly all the kiwi agent and Chinese agents. It is an very important thing for us to get the permanent residents, and also we believe we have some difficulty to meet the requirement of permanent resident, so we selected our agent very carefully. After about three years, in June 2007, we decided to visit you again to ask your help with our application. Waiting is a really tough thing to face. Thanks again for all your work on preparing our application documents. As we remember, we submitted the application at the end of July 2007. After that we called you nearly every week asking the status. You are so kind to tell us that be patient and trust you, you have your own way to communicate with immigration officer at the correct time. We apologise for that now. We've never thought we could get the permanent resident at the very beginning of January 2008. It only took about more than 4 months under your effort. We've seen lots of examples that agents cheated Chinese students. We only can say at the moment, is that you are the agent who really wants to help us, and trust worth. Finally, thanks for all your professional and kindly help, and I strongly recommend you to any person who wants to apply for the permanent resident. I firmly believe that your professional knowledge and experience will really help them to be successful. Thanks again, and hope all the best in your career and life. Yours sincerely,"
Bowen and Nancy, SMC Permanent Residency
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for a wonderful service and being so professional. I felt it wouldn't be right not to drop you a line and tell you how satisfied we were with the work you did. Peter is an excellent immigration consultant because in addition to being extremely professional, he is very knowledgeable about the immigration policy and area. We found his positive attitude and professionalism refreshing and a pleasure with which to work. This leading us to achieve the goal that we want earlier. All we can say is WOW! We were so impressed by your service and quality. If anyone asks us about business migration and immigration consultant, the Terra Nova Consultancy "Peter Hendrikx" comes first. Once again, thanks Peter, we really appreciated you to provide help and let us get Permanent Residence. Thanks from all of us "Khoo Family."

“Peter’s knowledge and experience in immigration process helped me to obtain my PR under skilled migrant category without fumbles. One has to experience to believe Peter’s level of patience and wisdom with humorous touch. Thanks Peter for what you have done for me!! I strongly recommend the Terra Nova Consultancy of Peter to anybody for their immigration issues. ”
Miki, Residence, Skilled Migrant Category
"Dear Peter, first of all many thanks to Peter for helping me to obtain New Zealand PR. Everything has gone through quite smoothly due to Peter’s professional and reliable jobs. My plain words cannot fully express my thanks. I applied New Zealand PR under family reunion category in China (Beijing Branch) in May 2007, I submitted all the documents required, 6 months later I received letter from Beijing Branch, indicating that I do not meet the minimum English requirements, and thus I was not suitable for the job that I was offered, and that NZIS is not satisfied with my employment, and they considered my employer could not financially sustain the employment. In that case I was almost rejected by New Zealand immigration. I was really depressed and could not find the way out, my English was not good enough to communicate with immigration officer directly, and most importantly I was not familiar with employment law and immigration policy. Fourtunately, a friend of mine recommended my Terra Nova Consultancy, Peter is truly a master in working through this immigration process, especially in handling tricky situation. He assessed my case in every detail He was very responsive in answering questions and issues I had and I did not experience any seconds delayed by them. Peter wrote to the immigration and explained queries they raised according to immigration policy and related laws. Good news came not long after, my case was reconsidered and got approved in February, 2008. I would never get this result without the help from Peter, he was really hard working and invested a lot of effort in. From my experiences, I learned to know that the choice of the right attorney is more important than anything else in immigration and visa matters. And I am more than happy about my final choice now. Once again I thank Peter and his staff and their excellent works!!! "
Yixiu, Residence, Skilled Migrant Category
"Dear Peter. Thanks again and again! You help me grant the permanent residence in New Zealand! I remember in the appreciative letter my wife Dan (well she is my wife now) gave to you last time said we were waiting for your good news for my residence. Now you did give us a good news. You are amazing person and never give up! We knew the application had lots of difficulties because I need to spend more time in China during the process due to some special reasons. We knew it was hard when the applicant were not in New Zealand. However the result proved your hard work and your professional ability. Dan and I can start our happy life in New Zealand now. Thank you very much again! Wish you all the best! We believe that your professional ability will help more people achieve their goal in the future. Kind regards, Bao"

"We met in July 2007 and the plans were afoot for me to emigrate to New Zealand. I really believed that with positive thinking this could happen but I needed someone to guide me to get to this goal. Peter, you were the one and here I am sitting in New Zealand with my LTBV which was approved within five weeks and in normal circumstances can take up to four months. The depth, knowledge and time you spent preparing my business plan and motivation was truly incredible. I am also extremey impressed by your constant telephonic contact ensuring that all is well, not only with the business but your honest concern about my family's well being. There are simply not enough words to thank you for all your help and assistance in ensuring I reach my goal. I have no hesitation in recommending you to any prospective clients and look forward to your endless knowledge when I need help!!
Robin, Michelle and children, Long Term Business Visa
We met Peter during a reconnaissance visit to Auckland at a time when we needed clear guidance about our plans to move ourselves and our business to New Zealand. He gave us no wild promises or pies in the sky, just reliable information and an honest assessment of our chances based on years of experience of helping would-be immigrants.
Like in many cultures, it seems that relationship networks are important in New Zealand to get things done. Peter clearly has those relationships and the contacts needed to follow up your application, explain your own individual difficulties and requirements and defend your position with the authorities. When you are coming in from the outside, this is clearly not easy to achieve alone.
In fact as soon as you meet Peter, he is obviously a relationship guy: he offers you a warm personal welcome, (serves excellent coffee!) and genuinely wants to know about you and your family. And his interest continues right through the process: he was obviously delighted to announce that our application had been accepted and he addressed the great news to every member of our family.
The Long Term Business Visa application requires a pile of thorough, detailed information organised in a very specific way. We were amazed how already after our first meeting, Peter had understood so much of our own story. His first draft of our business plan showed how closely he had been listening to us! Together, using an easy back and forth process, he gently pushed us through to reach a final version on a timescale we would never have managed to hold to, had we been trying to do it alone.
We were very occupied running our own business in France and were aiming to immigrate with quite a strict deadline (so our kids could start school at the beginning of the new school year). We needed the fastest possible, right-first-time solution and Peter knew exactly how to find it for us.
Dan & Bob, Skilled Migrant Category, Residence Permit.
"We both would like to give our heartfelt thanks for the excellent service you provided to get visa for Rohan. With the unsuccessful first attempt, we had very little hope before we met you. But the confident that you had at the first meeting, light some hope in us. It was a great joy for us to get visa after nine months of your hard work. Terra nova Consultancy is one one of those excellent Immigration Advisors we would say and it provided a personalised and friendly service to us. Most importantly we grateful for the personal attention you gave and it was great that we could contact you without any hassle, when we wanted advice. We have no doubt in recommending you for all our friends and family who need advice on immigration matters. Once again thank you so much for your precious advice and hard work, and we are looking forward to get your advice on our permanent residence visa."

"My name is Steven Liu. I am writing this letter in order to express my acknowledgment for you great help on my PR application. I did my PR application last year and for some reason it failed. My case became very tough case. I've found some lawyers and agents to help me with my PR application. But none of them can solve it. In my lucky year 2006 I meet you. You are totally different as other agent. You are professional and reliable. You help me get my PR application done within few months. I'm so happy and I can not believe it is true. It's a miracle. Thank you very much, Peter. You are the best agent in PR application case I have ever seen. I'll introduce you to all my friends if they want do their PR application. I hope you all the best in the future."
Steven Liu, Entrepreneur, Residence.
"In the early 2005, I asked one of agent to extend my work permit, due to some reasons, it didn't go succesful therfore both my work permit and visa became expired. I was very scared and very worried. I have been here many years now have to go back to my country straight away, I simply just can't take it. I almost came to dead end, lucky my friend introduce Peter Hendrikx to me. He very patient and carefully listen my situation, helping me to prepare all the documents also wrote a explain letter to the Minister. No very long later, I succesfully granted 2 years work permit on 11/09/2006.
Me and all my family thanks Peter wholeheartedly, he is very repsonsible person and has righteous character. He helped my family to over come the most difficult situation.
If you have any similar circumstance, please give Peter a call, I believe you can soon hear the good news".
Leon & Nancy, Ministerial, Work Permit.
"Dear Peter, we want to thank you very much for all your hard work and effort invested in getting my permanent residency here in New Zealand.When we first looked for an immigration agency, it was a bit of a scary process for us. Not only we were concerned about the cost, we were also concerned whether someone was trust worthy and reliable enough to handle our case. However, when we met and had personal interaction with you, we knew we didn't need to worry. You had always made us felt comfortable and assured of whatever steps that was needed to be taken. I personally, was impressed with how you handled our case. You always were on top of things and made sure that we were informed immediately of any additional information requested by the immigration, as well as getting the answers for us when we needed them. Your professionalism is oustanding! t has been a long year, but with your help and determination I am now a permanent resident in less time than expected. Your service is highly recommendable and also affordable! I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Mark and I are very happy and are thankful for all you've done for us. We are getting excited and happy for the arrival of our little one next month, thanks to you for speeding the process up we won't have to pay any expenses!! We want to wish you all the best and continue success for the coming year! We would be happy to offer any reference if you like. Thank You once again."Lusi & Mark, Residence Family
