Bonjour,
Je suis maître auxiliaire dans l'enseignement privé depuis 4 ans en Guyane. Cet été, je rejoins mon époux, muté en Nouvelle Calédonie. J'ai toujours pensé que seules les personnes ayant exercé une activité professionnelle en Nouvelle Calédonie percevaient des allocations chômage et que ceux venant de métropole ou d'un autre TOM-DOM n'avaient droit à rien. Or, le rectorat de Guyane, dont je dépend, m'affirme que j'ai le droit de toucher l'allocation de retour à l'emploi (ARE) ; il m'a d'ailleurs envoyé le dossier d'ARE. J'ai envoyé un mail au vice rectorat de Nouvelle Calédonie pour savoir ce qu'il en était mais je n'ai reçu aucune réponse. Est-ce que quelqu'un peut me renseigner à ce sujet ? Merci.

eh voila le souci des profs, vivre sur le social, lamentable.
C'est vous qui êtes lamentable Carthago47 et je pèse mes mots !!!
Je posais simplement une question ! C'est une question légitime que se pose toute personne devant quitter son poste pour suivre son conjoint, non ? Bénéficier des allocations chômage lorsque l'on a travaillé pendant plusieurs années en attendant de retrouver un poste vous semble donc anormal ?
Où alors avez-vous une dent contre les profs, ces gros fainéants trop payés qui sont toujours en vacances et qui voudraient en plus toucher le chômage ?
Cela fait 8 ans que j'enseigne (4 ans en métropole et 4 ans en Guyane) et j'ai n'ai jamais "vécu sur le social" comme vous dîtes.
"Il faut faire aujourd'hui ce que tout le monde fera demain" Cocteau
la NC n'est ni un dom ni un tom...Mais un POM pays d'outre mer, avec des lois spécifiques. Non vous n'aurez pas de chomage sur place, sauf si vos organismes le paient. j'ai vécu longtemps dans les iles et je suis l'un des nombreux qui pronent l'arret des primes, indexation etc...Si vous venez, ce sera pour le pays et non pour le fric.
Quand vous dites :
Où alors avez-vous une dent contre les profs, ces gros fainéants trop payés qui sont toujours en vacances et qui voudraient en plus toucher le chômage ?
je n'ai nullement de dent contre vous, mais vous nous fatiguez avec vos greves, en manipulant les élèves pour qu'ils vous suivent, et en prenant en otage nos enfants, toujours en vacances c'est faux ? et payées en plus.
Oulala,
Je suis d'accord avec toi Carthago47! J'en ai eu tellement ras la casquettes effectivement des grèves, ou nous n'avions aucune possibilité de garder nos enfants car travaillant tous les 2, prévenu à la dernière minute sans possibilité de trouver de solutions en dehors de la TV ou PlayS... seuls à la maison.... Mais ce n'est ni lieu, ni le forum pour s'énerver ainsi. Fais comme moi, mets tes enfants dans le privé, depuis je ne connais plus les grèves!
Ceci dit la question est posé et mérite néanmoins une réponse sympathique. Je crains effectivement que Carthago47 a raison, à ma connaissance il n'y a pas de chomage en NC. Moi-même dans un cas similaire, ma moitié ne touchera rien :
C'est effectivement un POM et on un DOM-TOM et les lois ici sont très différentes, et rien à voir avec la Guyanne!
Bon courage dans tes recherches.

salut, oui les ainés ont fait leurs études dans le privé et a l'étranger...
les derniers, petits encore, finissent la maternelle cette année et iront dans le privé ensuite.
en attendant, nous nous partageons entre france et Mada.... après, ben ce ne sera que pendant les vacances...mais leur éducation scolaire a commencé aussi a la maison.
en fait ce qui m'énerve, c'est que dans le cadre des mutations, on ne lit que des histoires de fric, de primes etc... Jamais d'attrait spécial pour la destination.... et puis ayant beaucoup voyagé because mon métier et souvent muté...
aussi, jamais je n'ai entendu parler de fric comme ça, il est vrai que jamais syndiqués, pas droit au chomage ni aux greves, mais pas envie non plus.

D'un autre coté elle a raison de s'interroger sur sa rémunération, parce qu'ici bonjour les étiquettes des prix.
Un salaire passe mal i tu es habitué à en avoir 2.
Il vaudrait mieux d'ailleurs, je n'y pense que maintenant qu'elle se fasse muter avec sonmari, je crois qu'elle aplusde points du fait d'une mutation du conjoint. @+

oui, mais que son mari soit muté, ne s'est pas passé en 5 mn, alors il fallait y penser avant, pas au moment de le rejoindre... mais il y en a aussi qui ont un petit pois à ....
oui, c'est cher, mais ils devaient le savoir avant....
oui, c'est cher, mais ils devaient le savoir avant....eh eh ! mais d'autres aussi n'ont pas des metiers faciles....et n'ont pas autant de "ponts" ni de vacances.

Cette discussion prend une tournure qui ne me plait guère !
Tout d'abord, laissez-moi vous dire que j'enseigne dans un établissement privé et que je ne fais jamais grève !
oui, mais que son mari soit muté, ne s'est pas passé en 5 mn, alors il fallait y penser avant, pas au moment de le rejoindre... mais il y en a aussi qui ont un petit pois à .
As-tu lu correctement mon premier message ? Nous nous sommes évidemment renseignés avant que mon époux demande sa mutation puisque je savais que je ne toucherai pas d'ARE. C'est le rectorat de Guyane qui m'a affirmé le contraire alors je suis venue sur ce forum pour savoir ce qu'il en était réellement. De plus, si je venais en Nouvelle Calédonie pour le fric comme certains le pensent, je vous assure que j'aurai choisi une destination bien plus intéressante financièrement et où j'aurai eu la certitude de toucher des allocations chômage. Ma question s'adressait à des personnes capables de me répondre et non à des donneurs de leçons qui, eux, ne profitent bien sûr jamais des avantages sociaux (retraite, assurance maladie ...) !

non non, dans le civil, dans mon métier, on est retraité d'une caisse privée, pour laquelle nous avons beaucoup cotisé et non de la sécu telle que vous l'entendez.
pour ce qui concerne l'autre, c'est le ministere de la défense et c'est une dette de l'état dans les textes..

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
