Hey /adv/ have you ever moved to a different country or continent?
how did it go?
I'm thinking about trying to move to canada and find a job up there
anyone done that before?
I'm sick of the US, and our backwards bullshit, I wanna go somewhere else
my parents have given me a couple of months to move the fuck out, so I'm getting a job to start saving ASAP, but wanna consider the possibilities here, especially if I'm being forced to move.
Do you have a bachelor's degree?

no
i'm working on it at the moment, although being kicked out is gonna fuck up my timestable

Even immigrant-friendly Canada requires that you have a job lined up there or a rare skill that not enough Canadians have.

so should I attempt find a job up there first?
would I be able to "just go", then get a job once I'm there and attempt to stay?
i could very well have a skill canadians are lacking, is there a way I can find that out?

shit, it's not looking promising.
it seems i can migrate as an artist of some sort, but that brings up the issue of being able to support myself with art

Get a diploma first. Why would any country want you anyway?

Have you ever seen any movies or TV shows set in America in the 1950s? That's Canada today, only colder.

We really don't want backwards Americans here
I moved around in Europe, to a country where I had no clue of it's culture or how to speak it's language.
I am terrible at learning the language and after all these years i can only just get by, still with a ton of problems.
As for work, it's hard, mostly because of how poorly i speak the language, although places that do require English will always ask for some sort of degree, which i don't have, of course if they are hiring a foreigner they want a smart one.
I have found here the best way to survive is to work for yourself or online. I work online and scratch by enough to survive.
