Someone I worked with recently packed it, booked it, and fooked off over there for a better life.

 

Sorry, I don't have any advice though

Go for it before you get too old. You only get one life, don't want to look back and think, what if?

what line of work was/is he in steve, are you still in touch?

[FredTransit]

Before you decide, make sure you do your homework. What professions/qualifications are they looking for? You may be no better off, though at least you speak the lingo!

Canada are plugging migration like buggery at the moment. Entry or points systems should be easily met.

whats stopping you?

 

we moved to Germany last year after my girlfriend was out of work, never looked back. Only thing I can think about is that Canada/USA/Korea/Australia are all very expensive and time consuming to get home with flights, which is why we didnt choose one of them. It's very easy here to book a return flight for under 100 quid and be home in 2 hours, and that works both ways for people visiting. DONT let a language barrier make you avoid a European country, my German is still crap because they all speak English.

 

Just keep your eye on some job adverts pages and keep applying, something will eventually come up abroad. Took me 4 months to find the right job and another 2 to move.

be great if you could make contact with him- as i'm a digger driver too, would be nice to speak with someone who's already made the leap
