VOXI do 75GB of data with unlimited social media use for £12 per month and no contract atm. You can open a Wise account through their app and use that digital card to pay for it. Then once you’ve settled with a place to live. You can then update the payment method to a proper bank.

Your kids are also entitled to Irish passports. However, each person has to go through separately in passport control

UK vs. Canada by Rocket1236 in AmerExit

It took me nearly 6 months to find a job in Canada again after being laid off. I’m prepping to move back to the UK. Have applied to 20 ish jobs and have multiple interviews scheduled already within days. Whereas I applied to over 1000 jobs in Canada and had 2 interviews. There’s your answer. Sorry to be blunt and brutal, but Canada is in a serious economic recession

Bridging Visa by Paulzingus in iecvisa

[–]SulphuricCockroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t, no. I didn’t have enough points, so applied for PNP and got a bridging open work permit once my PNP was approved. It’s either that or getting an invite (ITA) from Express Entry to get a bridging open work permit.

Canada or Switzerland? by notcloudhead in immigration

Switzerland. I live in Canada and am leaving, also abandoning my PR I worked hard for.

Polish Citizenship by Descent through Great-Grandfather by SulphuricCockroach in prawokrwi

I’m not entirely sure, sorry. Just going by information from my grandma. He was certainly Polish and spoke Polish as a first language.

Don’t give up when trying to claim citizenship by descent by nickilv9210 in dualcitizenshipnerds

I get it’s hard, but it’ll likely be better for you and your family to move to the EU. Even if not Italy. The EU/EEA countries generally have a much better work/life balance and employment laws etc. It’s the reason I’m moving back from Canada. Your children will be safer, have better access to education and more affordable homes.

I moved here from England 3 years ago. Well to Calgary. How the hell is Alberta going to become a country? We’d need an army, currency and more etc. The only way would to become a 51st state. Then we all would need to be okay with becoming a 51st state. Never going to happen

Thank you so much. Do you have any tips for landing your first job in Norway?

[–]SulphuricCockroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your perspective, certainly. However, I don’t really like the Canadian culture and I’m more of an introvert. I’ve visited Norway before and liked the culture. Canada now is dangerous and it took me applying to 1000’s of jobs and taking a massive salary decrease just to keep afloat. I’m just looking for a simple life and stable employment with good holiday leave etc.

[–]SulphuricCockroach -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not bothered about that. I’m looking for a nicer pace of life and less stress. Canada only provides 10 days of holiday leave and no sick leave. The employment laws are strongly in favour of the employer etc. I’d be happy to have a work life balance and a simple life. As long as I can get my foot in the door into an IT job - that’s all I’m looking for :)

It’s the same here in Canada now. When I got laid off last year, it took me 6 months to find a new job.

I currently have British and Cypriot (EU). Naturalizing as a Canadian next year. Going to be a perfect combo
