Original post
bonjour a toutes et tous .
Alors voici, je drvrais normalement m'installer au quebec fin 2007, début 2008 avec ma famille. 2a et 2e.
je suis chef de cuisine et ma femme travaille dans le domaine bancaire, je connais plus ou moins le salaire d'un chef de cuisine au quebec . il ya une assez grosse différence entre ici en belgique (bw et bxl ) et au quebec . est ce que quelqu'un a déja travailler au quebec et peut me dire si il y a de grosse différence de salaire entre restaurant au quebec. la vie est moins cher donc c'est compréhensible . mais en général pour un quebecois commment est vu un chef de cuisine est ce un metier bien reconnu . merci d'avance
Bonsoir,
Du côté formailtés, permis et contrat de travail, visa de séjour c'est "bordé" avec le Consulat de Bruxelles ??
Si vous ne réussissez jamais rien du premier coup, n'essayez pas le parachutisme !
?????????????????????????????????
Mais encore ??

Bonjour,
Oui, les écarts de salaire sont assez important entre l'Europe et ici. Ici, il y a «chef» et «chef», soit que tu travail dans un restaurant ou un hotel de renom et là tu vas faire un bon salaire, car tu as de bon diplômes, de trés bonnes références.....Par contre tout le reste, mais vraiment tout le reste, c'est pas mal la misère, entre $8, 00 et $12, 00 de l'heure........$12, 00, c'est déjà pas si mal, mais....C'est d'ailleurs pour cela que dans cette catégorie de «chef» il y a du travail en masse, les gens changent tout le temps de place.

Bonjour,
Toutes mes excuses pour le terme "bordé" emprunté au lagage maritime. En gros ça veut dire dossier prêt : as tu prévu de voir avec le Consulat Canada pour remplir les formalités d'immigration là-bas ?
Car je sais qu'entre autres, ils ne donnent pas le visa si la filière visée n'offre pas assez de débouchés ! Ils pratiquent "l'immigration choisie" comme notre Sarkozy....
C'est un peu tout ça que ma question contenait 😊
Si vous ne réussissez jamais rien du premier coup, n'essayez pas le parachutisme !
merci de vos reponse, oui je suis en pleine démarche qui d'apres eux ne drvrait pas poser de probleme, j'ai 30 ans, ma femme 26 et des enfants de 2 et 5ans, une tres bonne experience dans mon domaine .
je devrais aller la bas pour travailler comme chef de cuisine dans un des grand hotel a montreal et habiter a laval
Bonjour Serge,
Oh, alors tout baigne ! Tous mes voeux pour le grand Chef et l'installation de la famille ! En temps voulu, donne nous le nom de l'hôtel... j'irai casser une graine dans le resto à un de mes prochains séjours à Montréal 😏🤪

Bonjour Sergelb,
Si tout se passe comme prévu pour tes documents, et que tu peu partir, je te souhaite d'en profiter un maximum, car la qualité de vie au canaday est fabuleuse. Ne t'inquiète pas, car dès ton arrivé là bas, il y à des organismes qui s'occupent des nouveaux arrivant, et ils t'aident jusqu'au bout pour que tu soit parfaitement instaler, et n'oublie pas que si tu est "reçu" c'est qu'ils savent bien que tu a toutes tes chances d'y parvenir. N'oublie pas le dernier gros test, la visite médicale. Une question me brûle le clavier : à combien s'élève les frais de dossier ( pour tes enfants pour ton épouse, et pour toi) car plusieurs prix différents mon été communiqué. Je sais que le prix varie suivant les provinces. NANULK.

Bonjour, Charlesb37
Tu a les cites les plus important en dessous, mais sache qu'il vaut mieux faire ta demande au plus vite à partir du moment ou tu décide de faire le grand saut, il y a énormément de demande. Sache aussi que la demande de cuisinier est très forte au québec et c'est surtout sur place que l'on s'en rend compte mais pour entamé quoi que se soit, tes papiers DOIVENT êtres en ordre. Voilà, bonne chance dans tes démarches.😉

Salut, je suis chef de cuisine, résident permanent au Québec depuis septembre 2007. Comme d'autres te l'ont dit, les salaires sont moins important ici, mais bon, la vie est moins chère aussi. Question tarif horaire, tu peux quand même espérer de 14 à 18 $. Dans certains établissements, 20 à 22$. Mais bien sûr il faut aussi voir le nombre d'heures qu'on te propose. Il te faut un 40 h au moins. Moi j'essaie toujours de négocier une fourchette 40/60h !! Ici, ils n'ont pas trop l'habitude des chefs qui font des semaines de 70 heures.
Il y aurait pleins de choses à dire encore. Va jeter un coup d'oeil sur mon site passioncuisine.org si ça te parle, re-contacte moi .... @+
Bonjour,
Etant en prévision d'immigration à Québec j'ai trouvé vos messages sur ce forum.
Nous avons pris quelques vacances ces 15 derniers jours chez des amis à Québec et je regrette de ne pas avoir su avant pour pouvoir vous rencontrer sur place. Je suis allé par curiosité voir votre site et eu la surprise de lire votre CV. Nous avons quitté Megève en 2003 et ai travaillé entre autre aux Darbellets comme vous avec Martine. Ayant aussi beaucoup vadrouillé dans le monde et toujours dans des restaurants cités dans le Michelin je penses sérieusement immigrer avec ma femme et mes deux enfants à Québec. Je suis sidéré par le retard que nous accumulons en France par le refus d'évolution commerciale de travail et de gout...
Je ne trouve pas votre mail pour vous écrire directement mais j'aimerai pouvoir échanger directement. Vous pourrez trouver toutes mes coordonnées sur le site de mon restaurant www.legalanthy.com et même me voir travailler en direct.
Amicalement

Salut Emmanuel,
En effet, dommage que tu n'aies pas relever ton courrier plus tôt sur le forum nous aurions pu nous voir ... Je viens de jeter un coup d'oeil à ton site . WOW. J'ai bien ri. Et tu ne peux imaginer à quel point nous nous rejoignons sur de nombreux points. Même ton délire sur YMCA. J'y avais songé lorsque j'avais mon restaurant à Metz dans les années 90, et tu l'as fait ah ah ah . Bien sûr nous ne jouons pas dans la même cour. Travailler dans de bonnes maisons apporte beaucoup et ouvre des portes. Je ne suis qu'un self made man et mon parcours est plutôt chaotique. mais je partage avec toi la même passion. J'aime les chefs qui font du gastro qui nourrit. LOL je t'envoies mon adresse sur ton site. @+

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 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!

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! 🥺🏻

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[;)!!!]
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.

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! :)
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!^^
