Bonjour,
nous habitons MOntréal depuis août 2006.
J'ignore si cela est légal ou non, mais devant l'impossibilité de trouver une infirmière libérale formée à la dialyse péritonnéale dans le privé, nous sommes à la recherche d'une infirmière DE française suceptible d'être disponible pour s'occuper de mon papa 82 ans qui souhaite venir voir ces petits enfants à Montréal mais à qui le médecin de Bicêtre a dit "qu'il ne le laisserait pas partir si il n'est pas assuré qu'une infirmière puisse venir l'aider à faire ses dialyses 3x/jour!"
Aussi, si l'une d'entre vous désoeuvrée ou pas encore à l'oeuvre cherche un emploi pour 1 ou 2 mois, merci de me contacter à l'adresse mail suivante sophie.mahe@diplomatie.gouv.fr
Au plaisir!
Sophie

Je te souhaite avant bonne chance pour ton aventure au quebec! Aussi je projete de partir au quebec d'ici septembre prochain, j'ai rencontré recrutement santé quebec dernièrement au salon IDE à Paris. Il m'a ete proposé de choisir parmis plusieurs hopitaux de montreal, mais le choix est difficile car ne connaissance ni ces hopitaux ni les quartier dans lesquels ils se trouvent, peut etre aurais tu des informations à m'offrir qui m'aideront a faire mon choix. Peut etre aussi qu'une autre personnes parmis vous pourrais m'aider Parmis ces hopitaux il y a celui du sacré coeur (mais j'en ai entendu pas de points negatif au niveau de la qualité de travail pour l'IDE et il y a aussi l'hopital General Juif (est ce un hopital religieux? j'entends par là que le personnel est majoritairement des religieux, est ce un hopital communautaire pour les juif exclusivement?) le quartier dans lequel il se trouve serait un quartier Populaire? Quel est l'hopital le plus conseillé????

Bonjour,
je viens de lire ton commentaire,
j'ai une question à te poser...
Est-ce que le travail d'infirmière est régit par un Ordre à Montréal?
je pensais qu'il était très difficile de s'inscrire dans ce type d'activité prof. à Montréal.
Je manque de recul.
peux tu m'aider.
Je pense bpc à aller travailler à Montreal.
Ma copine est infirmiere et est passionnée par son métier.
en te remerciant par avance.
Ps/ je serai sur la ville de Montréal du 18 au 29 Aout 2008 Au plaisir de te lire. Denis.

Mon conjoint et moi, infirmiers tous les 2, envisageons de vivre à montréal, nous avons eu tous les renseignements concernant équivalence, salaire, horaires, vacances, logement, etc... mais le système de santé reste flou, pouvez-vous nous éclairer? par exemple comment cela se passe-t-il pour une grossesse?
merci

Le suivi n'est pas comme en France. Ici, nous n'avons qu'une seule échographie (vers 4 mois) et c'est tout, à moins que le médecin en décide autrement.
Tu peux te faire suivre dans une clinique d'obstétriciens ou à la clinique d'un hôpital, dans tous les cas il faut faire vite pour prendre rendez-vous car il y a pénurie de personnel dans le domaine de la santé.

Bonjour!!
Je viens de lire ton message,
je suis actuellement infirmière en France, et je voudrais venir travailler à Montréal à partir de décembre 2010,
je suis diplômée que depuis novembre 2009, je voudrais donc un an d'expérience professionnelle avant de venir.
Mais je ne sais pas trop par où commencer dans mes démarches!
comment t'y es tu prises?
est- il nécessaire de demander une équivalence de diplôme?
comment trouver un emploi?
j'attends ta réponse avec impatience!
La première chose à faire est de consulter ce site:
http://www.oiiq.org/infirmieres/diplomes/index.asp
tout est là pour la reconnaissance des diplômes étrangers. Vous devez absolument obtenir le permis de l'Ordre des infirmières du Québec (OIIQ) pour pouvoir exercer ici.

bonjour macuumba
Je suis aussi une infirmière française et j'evisage de partir pour le Quebec vers fin janvier 2011 du coup je voudrais savoir comment c'est passé ta prise de contact avec l'OIIQ?
S'il t'ont répondu rapidement?
merci pour les info que tu pourrais me communiquer
merci pour les info que tu pourrais me communiquer
salut!
oui ne t'inquiète pas les démarches ne sont pas si compliquées, mais il est vrai qu'elles sont longues!
adresse toi à l'ordre des infirmiers et infirmières du Québec, sur le net
tu vas recevoir un dossier t'expliquant les démarches à suivre:
chacun de tes employeurs devra remplir une attestation d'expérience professionnelle, avec une évaluation de ton boulot.
tu peux déjà commencer à rassembler des infos sur les hôpitaux où tu as bosser.
tu devra recontacter ton école d'infirmière: reconstituer un dossier avec toutes tes notes de stage et tes certificats de scolarité: eux aussi devront te remplir une attestation comme quoi tu as bien été dans leur école.
tu devras contacter l'établissement qui t'a délivré ton diplôme,
voila si tu as d'autres questions n'hésites pas,
il y a de nouveau des entretiens d'embauche sur paris en novembre, inscris toi!
merci beaucoup macuumba pour ta réponse
J'ai déjà commencer a consituer mon dossier.
Pour les entretiens de novembre, il faut que je m'inscrive auprès de qui? En novembre je pensais aller faire un tour au salon IDE car on m'a dit qu'il y a des representant québecois. Je vais un peu tater le terrain car j'avoue que je ne connais pas quel sont les meilleurs hôpitaux là bas, je n'ai même jamais mis les pieds au québec lol....😄
Bonjour Annisa,
Nous sommes 2 français à Montréal qui avons eu un bébé que nous avons commencé à faire vacciner en France. Nous y avons acheté les vaccins, ramené au Québec. Il est temps de faire un rappel du Pentavac, vaccin diphtérique, tétanique, coquelucheux et poliomyélitique. Nous avons contacté l'ordre des infirmière et le clsc pour faire la piqure et ils nous on dit qu'ils ne pouvaient pas faire de vaccin venant de l'étranger. Nous cherchons donc une infirmière française qui serait d'accord pour faire le vaccin. Serait-ce possible pour vous ou connaitriez-vous quelqu'un qui pourrait faire la piqûre ?
Merci beaucoup de prendre le temps de répondre à notre courriel.
Une belle journée à vous

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

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’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.?

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

I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia.

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!

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?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

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?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
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,
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! :)
