That sucks. I got mine done at the Canadian consulate in Wellington.
But jezz they made it hard compiling all the proof and getting it verified.
I renewed my kiwi one a couple years ago and it was piece of piss.
So if your a Canadian living in NZ and you ever want to go back, make sure you renew your passport as it expires or within a year of it expiring to save a shitloads of stress.
