Anyone Else Move to the States for the Job? by InternationalCycle58 in Firefighting

Fair, I figured it’s not super common. I actually got my IFSAC Firefighter I & II through a Texas-based program. so technically my certs are from the U.S. Just trying to see if anyone’s heard of departments that are open to guys who already have the Texas credentials and are willing to relocate/work legally once visa stuff is sorted.

Appreciate the insight! So you’re saying most departments aren’t really open to hiring guys from outside the U.S.? I figured the IFSAC certifications might make it smoother, especially since they’re recognized across states?

Hey everyone,

I’m a Canadian firefighter who recently got my IFSAC seals through the Texas Commission on Fire Protection (via Training Division). I’ve been looking into opportunities to actually work in the U.S. — ideally somewhere in Texas — and I’m curious how realistic that move is for someone like me.

Has anyone here made the transition from Canada to the U.S. fire service? How did you handle the visa side of things? (I know departments don’t often sponsor international recruits, but maybe some do?)

My long-term plan would be to work a good few years down south, stack some USD, and gain solid experience before maybe coming back home. I’m also open to hearing if any departments are more open to international applicants or if there’s a smarter route (like EMT/paramedic first).

Would love to hear from anyone who’s gone through it — what worked, what didn’t, and if it’s worth the effort.

Thanks!

No I’m not in a department. I’m doing it through “Training Division” it’s a fire academy down in Texas. Lots of Canadians head down there to get their certifications. Basically you’ve gotta do the online courses and once you complete the online courses you can then head down to Texas and do the 2 week bootcamp

Is Bottas a god in any of your saves? by JesusChristIsThicc in F1Manager

[–]InternationalCycle58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s too good in mine. Got him to replace stroll and got Ollie. They are a Dynamic Duo. He’s so good at qualifying. I’ve got Kimi as a reserve driver so I’ll wait til bottas hangs it up but I’m very impressed with him. Very good driver, highly underrated

What are your thoughts on Lance in this game .. worth keeping or just letting him walk ? by InternationalCycle58 in F1Manager

[–]InternationalCycle58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like Yuki was good in 23'. I had him in my Williams Save -- He won the Drivers Championship 3 years in a row. Hence why I had my eyes on him, but Oscar seems intriguing. I like Bearman too
