Jobs that would allow for US relocation?
I am looking into university degrees in Australia (I am an Aussie citizen) at the moment and there are several fields I am interested in. I want to move to the US or Canada within a few years after graduating with a degree. What jobs/career fields would offer a high chance of the possibility of relocating to one of these two countries? I am aware that there are job opportunities through agencies for nursing that can help you gain employment in the USA and Canada, but are there other agencies/opportunities that would provide employment like this? Thanks

Physicians, surgeons, RN (4 year degree nurses), some engineers in mechanical design, electronics, and software engineering, and a very few other professions would be the most likely choices to be able to get a U.S. work visa, an arduous and expensive effort which you must persuade a potential employer to do on your behalf. Another means is to work for a multi-national company which relocates you. The large hotel chains, manufacturing, transportation, and similar companies are the way to do it, especially if your skills are less technical.
2 :
If you were to go to the US or Canada you would have to meet the criteria for nursing licensure as well as meet the requirements for a work visa or immigration.To get a Green Card so you can work in the US you are looking at about 6 year wait. Licensing can be a lengthy and expensive process as well.To qualify as an RN in Canada you need to have your BSN ( 4 year nursing degree) as well as meeting the requirements for immigration or a work visa.( but the wait is not as long as that for a Green Card) US and Canadian nurses are generalist trained so you would need theory and clinical hours in all areas including adult, peds, OB/maternity and mental health nursing. Using an agency does change/speed up any of this process.They cannot get you a license or work visa any faster than you can yourself. All you are paying them for is filling out papers that you can easily fill out yourself. Using an agency does not change the fact that you would need a nursing license and work visa/immigration before you could work there.Being a nurse does not make it any easier to get permission to work in another country.Especially right now with thousands of new grads struggling to find work in both countries.

Is Life in Canada Better for Gays and Liberals than Life in the United States
Is Life in Canada Better for Gays and Liberals than Life in the United States?
I'm a 32-year-old nursing student and fiction writer. I'm also gay, very liberal, and live in Portland, Oregon, one of the last lefty strongholds in the United States. Problem is, A LOT of politically moderate/fiscally conservative folk from California and the Midwest seem to be moving here. Call them hipsters, call them yuppies, what ever you will... they are snapping up our jobs (with their multiple degrees that mom and dad paid for) and driving real estate prices through the roof. A cottage the size of a Fisher Price playhouse will easily rake in $400k in the "liberal" Southeast where I currently rent. I will never make enough money to own a house in PDX. I'd like some input from other American ex-patriots, liberals, environmentalists, feminists, socialists, LGBT folk who are residing in Canada now. Is it REALLY better than the States? Does the fact that the Canadian economy leans more toward socialism instead of the predatory capitalism of the U.S. make a difference at all?

well gay marriage is legal in Canada and people seem to be much more excepting. I've only been to Canada once but it's obvious people are more excepting their in general

Like anywhere it depends where in Canada you move. As I recall central Canada is conservative, but as you get out to coast on either end it seems to get more liberal, especially in bigger cities. Urban areas are more liberal everywhere it seems. But I seriously think many places are better than the USA right now. Problem is that if you leave, and thus don't end up voting presumably, you can't have a say in changing the USA for the better. But that said, Canada is great, very diverse, good housing values at least where I am(in Alberta because of the huge boom housing costs a lot because there's just such high demand), we have a stable economy, and so forth. So far I've found I like Montreal best for LGBT related things. Their gay village seems more like the one in San Francisco. I found that a bit nicer than somewhere like my town where the gay village is just a bar. Anyways, again, it's all about where you go, Canada is the second biggest country in the world, that's a lot of room for people to vary.

It is true that the Canadian economy gears more towards socialism, however the degree to which it does differs per province. Places like Alberta and Ontario, are becoming more and more privatlitized in attempts to generate more revenue for the already wealthy province. Thus causing extreme inflation. Housing, utilities and food prices are through the roof. As well, both provinces are noted for their right-wing nature. Then you have Manitoba and Saskatchewan, which are predominately agricultural. Manitoba is a very left-wing, ultra-liberal province, which supports our most socialist party, the NDP. However, there is little work, low incomes, and an overpopulation of Aboriginals and immigrants. It has the highest murder rate per capita in all of Canada! Saskatchewan is still NDP, however not as socialist as Manitoba. Quebec is a francophone community, which will be impossible for someone who does not speak fluent french to live. Their domninating party is the Bloc Quebecois, a party that supports the Quebec seperatist movement (they believe the French people entitled to the land of Quebec, and wish to seperate from Canada). They are predominatly Roman Catholic, and do not support gay marriage. The Maritimes (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and PEI) are built on the backs of the first scottish/irish/english settlers to Canada. This is were the settlers landed, and began to develop the country. It is a traditionalist province, which legalized same-sex marriage in 3 of the 4 provinces (with the exception of PEI). Howeover, locally it is frowned upon. Then there is B.C., the most socialist part of Canada. They are currently governed by our middle-slightly-leaning-to-the-left party the Liberals. They are considered the granola-crunchers of Canada. However, they experience much cultural tension between the various groups that live there. As well, housing prices are very expensive, while food is low. They are a rich province, however not the richest (Alberta is). The current governing party of Canada is the PC's(Progressive Conservatives), which support business and conservatism. However, they hold a minority government. Overall, Canada is a great place. Jobs are plentiful, and rights are still maintained. The best place for jobs would be Alberta, however it would contrast with your beliefs and is extremely pricey. B.C. would correspond with your beliefs, but it is also pricey. Jobs are moderately easy to find. The Maritimes have no jobs, and is moderately priced. Manitoba has some jobs, however only government employment. The province is basically falling apart. Saskatchewan is doing O.K. and is expected to continue growing slowly. Jobs and pricing is fair. Ontario is very expensive, and jobs are somewhat easy to find. Quebec is largely protected by the government, so jobs and housing are stable. Hope this helps!

I'd say Canada. But before moving there make sure you do research on why you're moving there and anything that could happen. note: just because something is better doesn't mean that you still won't have problems.

My family's making me suicidal, but I'm stuck here. What to do with my life, I need advice desperately
My family's making me suicidal, but I'm stuck here. What to do with my life, I need advice desperately?
I know this is long, but I'm very desperate for help, and I don't have any friends to go to with my problems... - Im 20 and live at home with my family while Im job searching. I had to leave college, because I couldnt afford it any longer (Im absolutely broke and cant pay for it & no fin. aid is available except taking out large loans) - While living at home, Im having tons of family problems with my mom. To the point where she's tried smacking me around, because I think she sees what she wants to see. She flipped out at me when i was looking in our freezer for my frozen meal & random prepackaged food she over-stuffed in our freezer fell out & i couldnt catch it, so she thinks I'm 'throwing' food around intentionally. I dont how she can come up with something so preposterous & how that would even make sense in her mind. :S - My brother is just as hateful as my mom and says hurtful things like "no one likes you" whenever I come out of my room to grab a drink or if I walk by him. He bullies me like this almost daily. - The hatred and negativity from living here got so bad that I emailed the only 2 people who I know for a temporary place to stay so that I can get away. Although neither replied back so Im literally stuck here, broke, and job searching with no results. I want to work desperately so I can move out. - Im stressed out and cant fall asleep at night for the last 2 weeks. Im crying almost every night and cant control how hopeless I feel about my future. - Also, Im starving and lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. My mom stopped buying food for me (Ive been a vegetarian for 10 years) when she grocery shops for my family. Its like i dont even exist and she spends my dads money on food for everyone but me. - The only positive in my life is my *one* real friend from Canada, who said he can help me and I can stay with him while I get my life straightened out. But moving to Canada is impossible, Im in the US and the paperwork + the fees + the time to process the paperwork makes it so that I cant even see my only friend when I really need to. - Im thinking of seriously joining the military because its the only way I'll be able to get away from my toxic 'family,' get some food, and a FT place to work... - Ive been depressed for years, but never this severely depressed... I feel like Ive lost everything, my hearts been ripped out, Im crippled emotionally and mentally, and I have no way out of this situation. I want to become a nurse, but I cant pay for it on a minimum wage job and I CAN NOT still live here for 2-3 more years while taking nursing classes. I honestly feel like without a nursing degree, I have no future because Im shy and that kills my chances of getting most jobs. What can I do? Take the plunge and join the military? I have no friends to stay with, I cant find a FT job to pay rent. Im broke and cant move to Canada. I cant stay here any longer because it's crippling me and tearing me down day by day.

This was a little long to read, but the keywords I skimmed were ''fees'', ''college'', ''Mom says no one likes you.'' etc. The problems you have do not warrant suicide, rather a rational solution is required and did not need this long question. Simple - remove yourself from your family, do what you had said, join the military, do voluntary work in remote villages of Africa, South America, East Asia. Do something to accommodate your goals and needs, it's that simple.

Suicide is NEVER the answer. The saying goes its a "permanent solution for a temporary problem". You will figure things out but never think about taking your own life no matter how desperate your situation may be.

I so understand you . I hope my suggestions can help these are resources and ideas. Go to your nearest church and seek help as far as starting with volunteering... bring positive energy to yourself by a daily prayer and actively searching for the answer.

i say go military reserves thier give u decent pay on top of paying for school ur be based her so little if no chance of going to the cluster f**k bush got us into and on top of that boot camp will get u out of ur house almost over night and u get paid while ur thier+hazard pay and a signing bonus so ur most likely be able to afford a small house when boot camp is done or atleast rent a place. so basically u join up and about 1-2 weeks later ur in boot camp away from ur "fam" and ur most likely make life long friends while doin it. good luck

Joining the military is a big commitment. Of all the people that I know that have joined, have said it's the best decision they have ever made. It's a minimum of four years, but you are right in that you are taken care of. I too have been suicidal before. I know how iit feels to feel trapped and to feel like people don't care. I think it's sad that your own family is treating you like that. The issues lye with them and not with you. Aside from joining the military, have you thought of going to a homeless shelter for a while. You can get some food and many of them aid in the job search process? I wish you the best of luck and don't give up. If you give up, they win. Things will get better and there are resources out there to help you.

I can honestly relate to what your going through with your mother. This happens to be my last year of high school, and my mother is just informing me she has no money for me to attend college. Sadly my dreams of becoming a lawyer does not seem real. I am slowly beginning to feel as if killing myself is my only other way out of my mother's house. But when I think of the harm I would cause I rather stay alive. The road always get darker before you see light. This may. seem like a bad moment, but the best thing to do is keep trying that is all you can do. I understand your mother is not being helpful at this point. But you have to believe in yourself because at this point nobody else but you can and will do so. As for college maybe you should try the navy you will go to school get out your mother's house and get paid. I'm thinking of it as of now, it may not be your plan but you will get respect go to school and get paid. I know its bad now but you have to look for something to pull yourself out this hole. Once you go to the navy you will find yourself will doors being opened, no more mother. Staying in that house does not seem to help you. That is my advice to you, but killing yourself so young think of all you can do what you have and haven't seen. Trust me live for today so you may see a better tomorrow

First thing is pray pray pray pray The next thing go to Americorps. Gov I am sure there are several opportunity's there on the website. Joining the military is not the worst you can do at least if you get through boot camp and stay up to a year school is free. There is also job corps I believe you can still join as well as Peace corps which give thousands of dollars for school once you back in the states. Don't give up I wouldn't try to get to Canada sometimes people change once you live with them. Have you tried women shelters sometimes they will help you get establish in your own place with little money for rent. Google the Salvation Army or any Human Health Services Agency in your city they can help assit you by giving you resources for housing and jobs.

I want to move to Vancouver, Canada. Please HELP me
I want to move to Vancouver, Canada. Please HELP me!?
I'm about to graduate from college and I choose a program for a year to be a practical nurse. I want to continue my studies and get a bachelor's degree to be a RN. Can practical nurses find jobs in Vancouver? I'm 20 and I've always wanted to move to Canada. I choose Vancouver because I want to also pursue my acting career. Is Vancouver the right place to go? How expensive will it be for me to find an apartment for myself. Will I be able to live there legally if I decide to move this year? I'm so confused and I really need help from any Canadians who really live there or know Canada well to please explain to me. This is really important to me. I want to also continue going to college. I was wondering is there any type of help like federal aid for college students? I also read Canada is a really expensive country to live in...I'm not rich or anything but I'm sure people still manage to survive in Canada right? I lived in NYC and everything is expensive there too and I did okay. I worked and went to school and didn't spend my money on junk. Just to pay bills and food. Oh and I also wanted to ask if I buy a car, is insurance really expensive there too? Does Vancouver have public transportation like NYC does? I plan on saving up money to make a trip to Vancouver with my mom to see how the country is like. Which months should I avoid traveling? No rude answers please and excuse me if I have any writing errors. I'm in a bit of a rush now lol.

get some infos from this site www.vancouver.hm/immigration.html about moving into Vancouver Canada
2 :
For you to attend college here, you must apply as an International student and pay International tuition fees. Much more than what a Canadian citizen pays. There are no Canadian bursaries or grants available to foreign students, only citizens. There are ones available in your own country however. While Vancouver is expensive, if you are used to a place like NY, there shouldn't be much difference. Might I suggest browsing through the local kijiji classified site, so you may get a feel for rental amounts. AS you would have to apply for a student visa to be able to live and study here, that puts a limit as to how many hours you may work. Without a visa, you may not live here. Vancouver is considered Holly wood North, so it would be the place to be for an actor, or maybe Toronto and Montreal. People manage to survive here in Canada because while yes, it is more expensive, we have a higher minimum wage and many things Americans pay for out of pocket are socialized here and come from tax dollars. Insurance is always expensive for young people, and you will have to apply for a BC drivers licence, as your American one is only good here for a period. And of course Vancouver has public transportation. There are no months you should avoid traveling.....the weather is rather nice there year round.

Can practical nurses find jobs in Vancouver? I'm 20 and I've always wanted to move to Canada. I choose Vancouver because I want to also pursue my acting career. Is Vancouver the right place to go? How expensive will it be for me to find an apartment for myself. Will I be able to live there legally if I decide to move this year? I'm so confused and I really need help from any Canadians who really live there or know Canada well to please explain to me. This is really important to me. I want to also continue going to college. I was wondering is there any type of help like federal aid for college students? I also read Canada is a really expensive country to live in...I'm not rich or anything but I'm sure people still manage to survive in Canada right? I lived in NYC and everything is expensive there too and I did okay. I worked and went to school and didn't spend my money on junk. Just to pay bills and food. Oh and I also wanted to ask if I buy a car, is insurance really expensive there too? Does Vancouver have public transportation like NYC does? I plan on saving up money to make a trip to Vancouver with my mom to see how the country is like. Which months should I avoid traveling? No rude answers please and excuse me if I have any writing errors. I'm in a bit of a rush now lol.

For you to attend college here, you must apply as an International student and pay International tuition fees. Much more than what a Canadian citizen pays. There are no Canadian bursaries or grants available to foreign students, only citizens. There are ones available in your own country however. While Vancouver is expensive, if you are used to a place like NY, there shouldn't be much difference. Might I suggest browsing through the local kijiji classified site, so you may get a feel for rental amounts. AS you would have to apply for a student visa to be able to live and study here, that puts a limit as to how many hours you may work. Without a visa, you may not live here. Vancouver is considered Holly wood North, so it would be the place to be for an actor, or maybe Toronto and Montreal. People manage to survive here in Canada because while yes, it is more expensive, we have a higher minimum wage and many things Americans pay for out of pocket are socialized here and come from tax dollars. Insurance is always expensive for young people, and you will have to apply for a BC drivers licence, as your American one is only good here for a period. And of course Vancouver has public transportation. There are no months you should avoid traveling.....the weather is rather nice there year round.
