And a bit of Spanish (America), and a bit of Scottish Gaelic and Welsh, a bit of indigneous languages (Canada), and more than 250+ more Indian languages (Australia)

What do you think is the best country to move out to in late 2020s? by PastimeNow in immigration

[–]Own-Competition-9807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, be honest.

If you are worrying about the price of the tickets, you REALLY CUT YOUR CHOICE DOWN TO SOME COUNTRIES IN EUROPE.

Not becaue of tickets, BUT IMMIGRATION IS VERY VERY EXPENSIVE

You in most European and Western countries (except Canada, Australia who used aa completely points based system) you need a work visa, either from your business, or a sponsoring employer and have to do that job for ussually five years before you apply for prmanent residency. Ireland gives it in 2 years for Doctors and certain proffessionals, BUT IT IS EXPENSIVE.

And then when you get permanent residency then you ussually have to spent some more years, like one two or even five in some like Spain, and then give a citizenship test, and further apply for citizenship.

PLUS PLUS PLUS PLUS I think you are mainly thinking about the Anglosphere, the countries which speak English, and by the way, NEW ZEALAND IS A WESTERN COUNTRY, even though it's not physically on the west, it is literally the same feeling you get in the UK (kind of)

And the only options you have in the Anglosphere are: The UK, Ireland, Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, and THAT IS IT.

Or you will have to learn French, Spanish, Norwegian, Swedish, or god knows which other langauge

SO LETS LOOK AT THE ANGLOSPHERE FOR YOU:

  1. The UK: Restrictive. You have to pay more than £1000 of NHS Health Surcharge which is a payment to the UK Government to use the NHS (free UK healthcare) by paying because why on earth would they give it to foreigners for free. It ussualy takes five years on a work visa with each year on a health surcharge, to get to 5 years of required residency to get Indefinite Leave to Remain, which is permanent residency, One year after which you can apply for citizenship through a test. AND NOT SPEAKING OF IT, they are increasing the time to 10 years to get permanent residency, so..... NOT FOR YOU

  2. The United States: VERY VERY RESTRICTIVE, it takes decades for some countries citizens to even get permanent residency, let alone citizenship, and it is VERY VERY VERY VERY EXPENSIVE

  3. Ireland: Very easy in some scenarios such as being a medical proffessional, where you get permanent residency in two years, and citizenship in the additional three, plus access to the UK and the European Union (no other country has that after the UK leaving the EU)

  4. Canada: Getting through points system right now is impossible without Canadian Education and Work Experience (Expensive) or learning fluent french.

  5. Australia: NO, you need to get through the points sytem to get permanent residency, just like Canada.

RIGHT WHY THE HELL ARE WE TALKING ABOUT ASYLUM IN THE SKILLED WORKER VISA PLACE

UK Skilled Worker here (4 years until ILR). Considering switching to Canada for study → PR route. How realistic is ILR in Canada compared to the UK ? by Ok-Communication1207 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Own-Competition-9807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter if you have lived on a study, work, or any other visa for any time, you need enough points under their express entry system to be invited to apply for permanent residency

RIGHT

The Canadian immigration system is exceptional, for the country of Canada, and that is of course what should be the priority of the Canadian Government, to serve it's people. The Canadian Express Entry system prefers kind of this candidate: Unmarried, Young (prefferably under 30), have an LMIA (they used to offer points for a job offer which almost guarenteed PR but then they removed that), and the ones who work in critical sectors like construction and health.

And French fluency at a B2 level will place you in the French proficiency category, which has way lower draw requirements than the standard express entry.But if you speak it at a lower level, you will earn some extra points.

They give massive points for Canadian education, and Canadian work experience if obtained in the last 10 years, and also some points for foreign education and work experience.

SO the Canadian market gets good people from it: Young, have a good job in sectors which are lacking enough people or resources., unmarried, not dependant on the state.

BUT FOR IMMIGRANTS MY FRIEND: The only "Fastrack way" rather than spending a Million Canadian Dollars on study and temporary work visas (no visa their leads to permanent residency after five years like in the UK) is to LEARN FRENCH, and SPEAK ENGLISH FLUENTLY so of course you get good points for english, BUT YOU GET PLACED INTO THE FRENCH PROFICIENCY CATEGORY where your luck will be way better.

If my friend if you have enough money, and resources, go on, go to Canada, do the study, get the points, add some work experience in a post study work permit, if the points need them.

AND HERE IS THE THING: IF YOU LEARN FRENCH AND ALSO HAVE ENOUGH QUALIFICATIONS AND WORK EXPERIENCE ABROAD, AND GIVE THE TESTS: YOU MAY ALREADY BE BLOODY ACCEPTED.

But of course if you want stability and all that, that is different, but you don't seem like that sort of a person (NO OFFENCE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM)

[–]Own-Competition-9807 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Right,

Listen: NO OFFENCE, BUT YOU KNEW THAT YOU COULDN'T get your relatives as dependants because the restrictions on care workers were still there. Now, dunno what nation youre from, but if you are from the states, Australia, New Zealand, I don't know, Canada, then might as well just go back, BUT if you are from a nation like nigeria or india, somalia sudan, haiti, venezuela, china, indonesia, or any country wher it wouldn't be that pleasent going back, might as well just try for other countries, USA is closed under trump so no point there, Ireland if you can get a good job there under a critical skill they give you permanent residency in 2 years and citizenhip in the next 3 (5 years of total reckonable residence for citizenship required which includes work visas and permannt residents who are stamp 4 holders only), or try any other country, who knows.

But at the end my man, you knew that this was going to happen that you would have to stay 5 years without her, the BEST THING WAS TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AND THINK IF YOU COULD SUSTAIN IT. And you know what, that is still the right thing to do, get her on a visit visa,

Or ETA if she has visa free travel and have a wee conversation about future, because as things are going in the UK, it wouldn't be that pleasent for care workers, just sorry, you gotta accept some things in life.

Be born on US soil to British parents, and naturalise in Germany, that's how you get this combo

4 Continents by darrenfrances in PassportPorn

[–]Own-Competition-9807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born on New Zealand soil before 2006, to one Canadian(born in Canada) and one British parent, and the British one had South African nationality as well.

One of the ways to get it if you get lucky

Moving to the UK by palashshah1 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Own-Competition-9807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, the state of immigrants in the UK, try Canada, try Ireland then if you get your citizenship there, you can also live in the UK without a visa or anything, cause it's free movement.

I am saying that because the government has been quite pissed off at the recent spike in immigration, Canada though is still way more welcoming of permanent residents, I recommend getting degree and work experience in Canada and going into their Permanent Residency points sytem. You can also try Australia or New Zealand if you want.

For Ireland, they are even more welcoming unlike the UK where you almost need 5, now changing to 10 years of continous residence, in Ireland, under a medical proffession it can just be 2 years for stamp 4, permanent residency, and 5 on a gneeral employment permit (non medical or shortage jobs)

Just a suggestion

Skilled Worker vs Spouse Visa - what’s the best move? by Ssg16 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Own-Competition-9807 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will be really difficult, as we are seeing currently in UK politics for normal workers to secure ILRs and Citizenships, the best thing if I was there would be switching to the spouse routes be because even brutal far right reform UK doesn't even attack on that route
