To be honest with y'all, I love this country to death. I'm actually watching Obama's Labor Day speech. It is the most fiery speech by the Prez I've ever seen and I am feeling very secure by looking at his confidence. He says that there is an end to every debate and the "time to act is NOW" Let's see what he has to say in tomorrows speech to the Joint Session. Anyway, I definitely agree that living in countries such as Canada, New Zealand, Australia, UK etc is definitely an option for many of us.

Average wage was around 18 AUS$/hr minimum in sydney, 150$ wk in rent. You can get by on your salary if you go for a 2 year masters, but a 1 year's like this person I mention, it gets tough

So, if I got* a 2 year degree I could see if I could move to Australia, or New Zealand? Are they more open and friendly on immigration?

I have a question I know china is uptight and not the ideal place to live but you think they would let some of us in?

Glad to know its possible, and hearing someone did it before, is really encouraging.


And i doubt china will be any nicer to us, they have enough people over there.

Korea wouldn't be bad teaching English, the demand for it is pretty high... although I have heard that with the current economy it's getting tougher... but some of you should consider teaching English in Korea or Japan.

I have heard that New Zealand is GORGEOUS!!! That would be my number one choice to look into after I graduate from nursing program and see if I can get some kind of transitional nursing program there...

It's not that I don't love America... but I don't wanna be a waiter for the rest of my youth...

Imo,if anyone is thinking of going to the UK they should absolutely forget about it.The immigration & citizenship rules are constantly changing & the scrutiny appears to be reaching if not surpassing that of the US upon entry,unless you're an EU national I wouldn't recommend the UK.....

Currently in order,It would have to be Canada,Australia & New Zealand or CAN lol.I understand ones need to be in the US or at least close to it due to family & friends,but I would personally choose Australia first & foremost due to the weather,people & rather good economic opportunities considering it is rather close to the booming economies of Southeast asia.New Zealand would be final due to its natural beauty but it has rather odd immigration rules concerning including Body Mass index in their Points system & my BMI is considered "overweight" lol.All countries also have Universal Healthcare so no real worries.

What if I have a relative (aunt) that is a UK (England) citizen? Does that help at all? Are they just as slow with family-based petitions as the U.S?

Anyone know anything about immigration wait times to any of these countries? Do I have to wait six months? A year? Do I have to go home or can I just go straight from the US?

I do remember some DREAMies went to Ireland. Anyone got any info on them, in terms, of jobs, economy, etc?

Did you see the first post? It has recent quotes by the government regarding immigration which are certainly favorable. So, yes they a probably the most favorable out of the 1st world countries.

Regarding the question about your degree, it really depends on your degree. If you go to the link on the first post, you can see the skills that are needed to be a candidate. There is also a point self assessment in which you can see how many points are would get. You need 120, but if you have higher it will make the process much easier.

It also provides examples of people trying to emigrate there. I think if you have an associates degree and are between 20-30 years old, with little working experience, you get around 30-60 points. If you really want to get emigrate there, you will need a degree they see as skilled.

You would be a fairly favorable candidate for NZ, especially with your nursing degree. If worst comes to worst, and there is no other options here in the US, try getting a job offer from them and it will easily give you enough points to emigrate there.

And yes, it is a small lovely country.

I have no clue about wait times in UK, but the ones for New Zealand aren't bad. For a temporary visa it is less than a few months. For a permanent visa it would take less than a year. Most people get a temporary visa, then adjust to a permanent one while in the country.
