New life
-
Hi guys!! I'm thinking of moving myself in another country, possibly US or Canada, beacause of many reasons: first of all to have a new life experience and better work perspective. I work as a software developer for an italian ISV. What I'd like to do in the country where I'm (hopfully) gonna move is a similar job. Do you have any hint about a good place to go, where to look to find a job and so on? Thanks

If you are an Italian (therefore EU) citizien, consider Ireland - you won't need a work visa and your language skills will be an added bonus.

Outside of Europe is pretty difficult. Especially US or Australia or something are countries that will let you in for about two reasons: 1. You have a company sponsoring you for a (working) visa. Often this is limited. Eg You need to work 5 years in the same function for the same company before it becomes more "free". IOW any change to the situation results in you having to leave or requiring a new visa. 2. Marry a civilian of that country and go through a painful and long duration administrative process with lot's and lot's of paperwork, interviews, medical exams, .... (like my brother did for the last 2 years) And that's just the visa. You're not a civilian yet. Anyway, good luck with it. I'd recommend option 1 and try to apply for a company local or an international company that allows transfers to other countries. (which my brother-in-law did).

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

To emigrate to Canada, it's simply a points system (points make prizes! :)), a waiting list and money (application isn't cheap, but a chunk of it is refundable if you are rejected because of a criminal record or insufficient points). You can self-score, I don't have links but I'm sure you can find them. If you have more than the required points, you apply and when you're top of the list they let you come. Waiting times vary, depending on the number of applicants. The time they tell you is invariably overstated (we were told 6 months to a year and it took about 3). Once you're notified, you have a time limit to "land" (two years from memory) Whilst you have "Landed Immigrant" status you must reside in Canada for at least 6 months in any period of a year (a moving window) or lose your status. After 1,000 days of residency (absences from the country do not count), you can apply for citizenship (another fee and an exam so simple that you probably have to be brain dead to fail). Then you are one-of-us! The Greater Toronto Area (GTA)has some very large Italian communities. Things for immigrants are pretty neat here, you don't have ghettoes per se, but there are areas where immigrants from a country or region tend to aggregate (Little Italy, Little Greece, Chinatown). In some cases these areas may even have bilingual street signs (English predominating). Many communities have a "welcome wagon"; a person employed by the municipality drops by with a basket of goodies, and information about the area and facilities. The GTA is a loose definition of communities clustered around Toronto from Oshawa to Burlington, with even more communities linked to Toronto by rapid transit (e.g., Hamilton, Milton, Barry - even Kitchener and Guelph now have links). There are quite a few technology hotspots. Ontario has Toronto, Mississauga and Waterloo being notable. There's also Vancouver and Calgary in the west. The province of Alberta probably still has the most active economy because tar sands oil, although it has taken a hit with the fall in oil price (temporary I'm certain while the Saudis play games). I'm not hooked into the job scene now as I retire in 4 weeks. Ravi might be a good source, especially about the scene in the GTA. Canada has much higher taxes than the US, although not as high as most (all?) of the EU, but we do have proper health and welfare systems (which is, of course, why we have high taxes!) Canada is not as gun crazy as the US, handguns are strictly controlled. Crime rates are low (except

I like Phil Lenoirs comments... although he did miss both that Montreal and Ottawa as having thriving Italian communities. It is definitely colder all year round than Italy, but not so much so to be a minus. I like the cold. It keeps the Americans south of the border :-\ Ken
