Bonjour, nous avons le projet mon copain et moi de partir en NC en septembre 2010, nous cherchons des infos et des contacts. je termine bientot mes études de droit (je partirais après l'école des avocats) et mon copain a fini ses études de marketing. Y-a t-il des débouchés? quelqu'un pourrait- il nous renseigner?
salut Nantes,
ça fait plaisir!! Ben, oui, moi, je suis de Pornichet!!
bref, pour votre projet, renseignez vous aupres de site sur la Caledonie, y en a, à la pelle. ..Kaori.nc, que j'aime bien!! Les nouvelles calédoniennes.nc, qui est le journal de caledonie, et bien d'autres encore. Tu as egalement, la chambre de commerce, un site bien fait, et gouv.nc, un truc comme ça, sur l'actualité administrative de la caledonie, le site officiel des parutions de lois, de concours, ....
m'enfin, Avocat, et monsieur ds le Marketing, ça devrait aller....envoyer des CV avant!!un maximum, histoire de ne pas venir pour rien!!
pleins de bonnes choses, bonne aventure!!
respect et humilité,
med
Attention la vie est très chère ici, je sais ce que je dis je vis ici depuis 3 ans, le climat est très agréable du soleil presque tous les jours ! Mais assure toi d'avoir déjà trouvé du boulot avant de venir sinon l'argent va vite partir...
oui c'est ce que nous esperons faire (trouver un boulot avant le départ) mais est ce vraiment possible? certains forum affirment qu'il faut être sur place pour trouver du boulot...
mais ce qui nous effraie surtout c'est l'emploi prioritaire aux locaux, apparemment il faut avoir des qualifications spécifiques pour être embauchés ? marketing je ne suis pas sure que ce soit si exceptionnel que ça...
j'espère que nous trouverons ça nous tient vraiment à coeur de partir !! (on a grandis en Martinique, la vie des îles nous manque terriblement mais nous voulons découvrir une nouvelle île.)
merci pour vos réponses!

🙂bonjour mon mari vient de répondre a une annonce de goro on entend la réponse. Moi personnellement je suis aide soignante en chirurgie et j'ai 2 enfants 14 ans et 9 ans. Nous aimerions changer de vie biensur sans que mes enfants n'aient de problèmes dans leur études.Vous pensez que c'est possible
bonjour Pram !
si ton mari est expatrié, vous aurez bcp d'avantage, g des amis ici qui sont venus en expat, le mari comme vous, Goro leur a payé un conteneur entier pour toutes leurs affaires, il avait tellement de place qu'il on meme amené leur voiture, ensuite il paye 1/3 du loyer de leur maison et 1/3 de leur nourriture, et ils ont droit à un aller retour par an en France pour toute la famille, il faut bien négocier au moment du contrat. Mon homme travaille aussi pour Goro, mais lui il est local et il est bien dégouté de voir tous ce que les expats bénéficient, en meme tps ils quittent leur pays et leur famille pour offrir leur service ailleurs. Mes amis on d'abord fais venir le mari seul, qui s'est occupé de trouver la maison avant l'arrivé de sa femme et son enft et maintenant ils sont très bien installé. Du moment que les enfants sont petits tout va bien pour leur études, mais une fois le lycée passée, les débouchés ne sont pas très nombreuses, ils seront certainement obligé de partir en Australie ou France afin de terminer leur brillantes études lol !

Bonjour Loutidebo ! lol !
Ici il y a pas mal de salon de beauté en concentré sur Nouméa, je pense que tu peux trouver, même si tu as vite fait le tour hum bonne chance !
Pour ton mari aussi en temps que cuisinier il peut trouver, mais c payé à coup de lance pierre, je pense qu'il trouvera plus facilement en temps que cariste...
Dans tout les cas, moi je suis arrivé sans aucun diplome en poche, g bossé 2 ans 1/2 serveuse dans un club nautique et puis maintenant je travaille pour une boite d'assistance dans un bureau. Je pense qu'il faut de la patience, en tout les cas vous pouvez venir en vacances avoir un bref aperçu de ce qui se passe ici.
Faites vous bien confirmer si vous avez une réponse de leur part, pour ma part, j'ai été débauchée pour eux par l'intermédiaire d'une agence intérim et qu moment de commencé il m'a été dit que c'était la crise et que les embauches étaient gelées! Attention donc et surtout ne perdez pas de vue que la vie est chère en calédonie surtout pour se loger! Equivalent des grandes villes en métropole.😛 Tout ne peut pas être rose au paradis (c'est comme si vous n'aimez pas la pluie😏 !)
Enfin bonne chance
Salut,
Je suis à Nouméa depuis un an. Le travail se trouve ici surtout si vos compétences sont "rares" et n'entrent pas dans la sphère de l'emploi local. En gros si votre niveau de formation n'est pas dispensé ici, les employeurs vous courrons après😛!!! Pour ma part, j'ai trouvé un vrai taf (genre CDD de 6 mois au départ) en 5 semaines et seulement 2 en intérim. Le must, c'est que ça n'est pas du tout dans ma branche initiale. C'est ça aussi la Calédonie. Mais attention au reportage comme celui de M6 qui a largement exagéré la réalité.
De mon expérience, vous pouvez toujours regarder d'éventuelles annonces de métropole, mais les employeurs préfèrent largement les gens qui sont déjà ici. Et puis tout dépend ce à quoi vous êtes prêts! Vous pouvez aussi vous inscrire en interim et effectuer des petits boulots tout en cherchant à côté celui qui vous convient.
Petit conseil, ayez un minimum d'argent de côté! Car l'installation peut s'avérer un peu couteuse! Enfin, ca n'est que on avis!

je ne sais pas trop, pour ma part je serais en stage fin d'ecole d'avocat je suppose que ça peut se trouver. c'est plutot pour mon copain que je m'inquiète, il a une formation bac+5 en marketing .
par ailleurs, je voudrais savoir pour ceux qui sont partis de métropole, combien de temps à l'avance vous nous conseilleriez de préparer notre départ et de rechercher du boulot?
par ailleurs, je voudrais savoir pour ceux qui sont partis de métropole, combien de temps à l'avance vous nous conseilleriez de préparer notre départ et de rechercher du boulot?
Ca dépend...moi je suis partie 2 petits mois après ma décision! Je n'ai pas du tout cherché de boulot de métropole et c'est une période suffisante pour boucler la paperasse (sauf si tu es propriétaire etc...) et dire aurevoir à tout le monde! Je continue de dire que tout se passe sur place, même si c'est forcement plus rassurant d'arriver avec du taf. Le statut d'expat ne concerne pas la majorité des zoreilles! Et pour ton homme, ca devrait pouvoir le faire aussi.
Il faut arriver avec de quoi tenir 3 mois sans job et une grosse énergie pour tout remettre en route ici!!!! Passez par l'auberge de jeunesse, elle est très bien et super bien située. Acceptez des petits boulots au départ, faire toutes les agences interim...bref, rencontrer du monde et avoir les bons tuyaux! Dites vous que plein d'autres gens (à l'auberge entre autre) seront dans votre situation, donc l'entre-aide existe aussi beaucoup!
Moi je suis arrivée avec 1000€ en poche (ce qui n'est pas beaucoup!)...j'ai mis 5 semaines à trouver du taf tout en sachant que j'ai passé les 1ères semaines à bouger dans les terres!!!

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 there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
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?
Thanks in advance!

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!
Cheers,

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!!

I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too. Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese? I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.

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! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

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[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
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, 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!^^
