1. Are you a foreigner in the country you live in?2. How do you like it?
1. Yes2. Despite the memes I work a technical and critically important position. I have a lot of time in the officebecause I am called upon infrequently.
>>215020457construction sites building new stadiums and skyscrapers for Arabs is not technical saar
>>215020457Do you speak Portuguese? Is it easy to integrate and be invited to the inner circles of Brazilians?
yesyes
noyes
NoRegret not emigrating to a DACH or a Scandinavian country when I was 18
1. technically no2. I feel like a foreigner, probably 80% immigrants where I live
>>215020405noyes but i would like to live in Norway since I could earn 5x what i earn now in the same company in Norge

>>215020994What is your excuse for still staying there?>>215020761Do you speak Estonian?>>215021057So you are not an immigrant, but technically you are a foreigner to where you live. Why don't you move to another area with your own kind? Do you like it in that community?
>>215021551>Do you speak Estonian?Well enough, but can trip over big words so group settings are difficult>>215021495ahlan
1. yes, been living here for them majority of my life2. it's cool, never experienced any problems
>>215021722>AllahAre you Palestonian?
>>215021551>What is your excuse for still staying there?I'm no longer young, healthy and ambitious. I also don't want to be pushed around by some German. I don't like the situation with migrants in most countries.I would have earned more if I had left years ago, and now Poland is repeating the scenario with migrants so double L for me
Yes, French in MontrealI really like this city even if it take me like 6 months to get a job in my field (~1300 people applied to my job in IT), the rent is high ($1650 for one bedroom or 3 1/2 in Quebec) and there is an epidemic homelessness rate.I'm trying to get a new work permit. I don't want to go back in France anymore, this country is fucked. Hell, whole Europe is over
>>215023054Did you have to compete with Indians for the IT job?
>>215023054Lucky bastard. I wish i could escape poorope
>>215020405I have foreign ancestry, does it count?
>>215023054I forgot to mention I'm living in downtown Montreal because I don't have a car and with my work permit (work holiday visa), I can't access the SAAQclic, you need the social security card that I don't have the social security card (RAMQ)>>215023079I work primarily in English but not knowing French is in unironically the greatest filter for them (and the best thing ever since they destroy the job hunting market. I don't hate the ones who are here for a long time but the FOB [fresh off the boat] are one hell of a breed). Not living in Montreal decrease your chance too. My case is special: I have like 4 years of XP as a DevOps but both parents are from the Caribbean (Guadeloupe). So, I got more chances and it will be great in the future in case I have to care of my parents when they will retire back in the Caribbean>>215023210If you're under 30 like me, you should try getting one.I know that Canada is in bad state since the Trudeau II era but it is better to be stuck in Europe
>>215023562No company will hire me in canada. I work in finance and they only hire indians. I will quit my job and get my whv eventually, i am just trying to save about 60 to 100k first to get by as i search for a job
>>215023698Not the best advice bit if you know French, you have your chances in Quebec.I really wish you good luck because for me, it was not easy, I have burned like 7k euros in several Airbnbs before getting that job (when you're a newcomer + no job, it is difficult to rent a place for someone with an unstable situation)
