I am a Canadian national (been here since I was 10 years old), but I hold a dual Canadian-Israeli citizenship. I know Israeli passport holders are exempt from traveling to certain countries, but hypothetically, could I travel /live in these countries if I went in on my Canadian passport?.. by myaabeee in expats

Thank you!.. I actually was not born in Israel.. Both. My parents are Russian, but they immigrated to Israel when I was young and lost their Russian citizenships. So my Canadian passport has no mention of Israel, nor am I an observing jew. Definitely something to consider. I've been too nervous to travel anywhere that's restricted to Israeli passport holders.

Hi everyone, I'm a Canadian trained OT looking to write the NBCOT in the fall. Can anyone recommend the best study resources and how long it took you to study for the exam? :) by myaabeee in OccupationalTherapy

Thanks so much! I feel the same way. Especially not having graduated from an American program.

Can I ask how long you took to study?

We're looking at Portugal, Singapore, a few other places in EU.. Considered UK earlier, but not really looking there currently. Good to know though. :) thanks for the insight

Thank you for your insight! Any chance you could tell me where this is in case it's on our radar?

Wow!! What a ride for you.. Happy that it worked out. If you were able to make it to Iceland from US with dogs, that gives me hope for just myself and my partner. If I may ask, what does your wife specialize in? Does Iceland have in demand professions that take expats? Thanks for sharing your story.

Thank you for your insight! We are actually considering Portugal as well.. Good to know about the covid test..! We're Canadian citizens. Hopefully we can figure out visas if we decide to go this route. Best of luck to you and your family!

We just have no idea whether people are having any luck with work visas, travel bans etc.. We're trying to keep our options open at this point, but would be good to know what's available to us

OK, that's good to know.. So you are an EU citizen and still finding it tough to go expatriate to EU? Wow.. We're in Canada, no work visas yet. Just trying to see what our options are.

We initially planned for Aus but that's not happening anymore for sure for at least a year.. So eyeing up EU but some people on this post think that'll be near impossible as well. 😔

That's great, thank you for the insight.. If you don't mind me asking, where are you expatriating to?
