Salut, nous sommes 3 gars à partir mi-janvier (2007) pour 4 mois dans l'Ouest (on viens de finir notre cégep), à Banff plus précisément. Notre plan est de travailler dans les hotels et d'être logés-nourris pour peu de frais (ce que des amis a moi ont deja fait avec succès). Nous n'allons peut etre pas travailelr les 4 mois p-e 2 ou 3 puis se promener un peu, avez vous des suggestions pour des endroits à aller et ou rester. Avez vous deja fait des experience semblables ou pensez vous le faire? Si vous pouvez me conseiller, m'informer ou simplement me raconter comment vous vous y etes pris ou pensez vous y prendre, genez vous pas pour mecrire jaimerais avoir des idées. C'est la premiere fois que je sors de mon coin de pays pour 4 mois et j'apprécierais les conseils. Merci d'avance et au plaisir!!

slt, avec un visa touristique, il te sera difficille de travaille, car actuellement nous avons notre fille qui se trouve actuellement au Canada précisément à Elmonton, est c'est un peu galère pour elle, car elle à trouverdu travail mais c'est la paperasse qu'il faut, (un visa de travail + ouvrir un compte en
banque, ext...) elle reste 4 mois. Bon courage et bon séjour.
Oui effectivement je vais devoir regler la paperasse aussi mais ce sera très facile étant donné que nous sommes du Canada (québec) par contre pour vous qui venez de l'extérieur sa doit etre plus compliqué. J'espere que votre fille passe un beau voyage et vous ramènera plein de belles photos!! Au plaisir

Ben puisque tes amis l'ont déjà fait, tu peux pas leur demander ?
J'ai soif de voyage, vers quelle oasis me diriger ?
Ouais ben en fait, jai 3 de mes amis qui sont allés cet été et ca été très facile pour eux de se trouver un emploi, en moins de 2 jours ils en avaient tous un logé-nourri (dans l, hotel). Par contre ce sont pas les meilleures références, ils ont travaillé 3 jours puis sont revenu donc pas trop de conseils a me donner pour la bas si tu vois ce que jveux dire.... ils sont restés 5 jours en tout. Donc jai besoin de "meilleurs conseiller"! Bye

Je suis allée l'été dernier en colombie britanique ainsi qu'en lbeta. Je suis arrêter à Banff et je peux te dire que la meilleure place ou travailler cest au JUNIPER. C'est un petit hôtel super propre et chic qui est un peu éloigné du centre de banfff mais quand je dit un peu éloigné c a peu pres 1 min et dmie et auto et 10 min a pied.....La gérante est québécoise et tout de suite arrivée on sest fait offrir une job...meme pas besoin d le demander. puisque lon en avait pas besoin nous navons pas travailler labas mais ce fut quand meme plaisant puisque nous y avons rencontré bcp de québécois. Cette dame engage que ou presque juste des québécois. le gens sont vraiment cool....en plus vous seriez logé dans une immense maison au pied des montagnes....il y a labas une vue imprenable sur le centre-ville de banfff, un spa (hot tub) internet dla bouffe trop bonne et des gens supers sympathique koi demander de mieux? Récris-moi si tu veux de plus amples infos! Et bonne chance!
Salut Roxy824,
Je vois que tu es allée à Banff et que tu as été logée par l'hôtel ou tu travaillais!? Je veux y aller cet été et jai aucune idée de comment ça fonctionne... je ne suis pas le genre de personne à arriver sur place puis me trouver un emploi et un logement. Je préfère que tout soit fait avec que je parte. Alors, as tu des conseils pour moi? Des sources auxquelles je peux me fier (site internet pour envoyer mon cv). Comment ça fonctionne le logement? Est-ce automatique que tu sois logée par l'hôtel? Combien ça coûte??
Ca fait beaucoup de question... désolée. Merci beaucoup à l'avance!!

allo! Et bien non moi je n'ai jamais travailler à Banff! Par contre je suis allée dormir à cet hôtel et c'est là qu'on m'a offert un travail...Ils m'ont dit que si j'y retournais, de ne pas me gêner, qu'ils engageaient souvent des Québécois! Moi j'irais avec cet hôtel car on n'y a rencontré des gens super fins puis la gérante est très gentille aussi! Sa s'apelle le Juniper. C'est à Banff et c'est bien placé! Ce n'est pas dans le milieu de la ville mais l'endroit est parfaitBanfff c'est tellement petit alors...Puis cet endroit est vvraiment beau! Alors c'est ca! En plus si tu travaille pour eux, ils t'héberge dans un halet GÉANT sur le terrain de l'hôtel avec une vue mgnifique et les montagnes juste en arrière...Vous êtes nourri également. Je crois qu'ils y étaient logés gratuitement. Renseigne-toi car sérieusement ca vaux la peine. Jsuis allée dans bien des hôtels de cette région et celui-ci était parfait! Si j'avais eu à choisir un endroit ou travailler sans doute saurait été lui!Moi j'ai travaillé à Vancouver au festival d'été de Vancouver et l'appart coutait tres tres cher mais bon j'ai pu survivre! Récris-moi pour d'autres questions!Bonne chance! Au pire va sur le site de Juniper! Byebye!
salut! je sais que sa fait deja un an que tu as écrit ce message mais je vien de a voir! mais si tu peut me donner des renseignement pour travailler la bas et ce qu, il y a a voir par la je serais vraiment contente car je suis très intérèssé a partir la bas! merci beaucoup superkoty15@hotmail.com
Hé,
Je ne suis pas allé à Banff mais mon meilleur ami oui.
Son projet était d'y aller et d'aller offrir ses services direct aux hotels.
Le premier hotel (je ne me souviens plus du nom) lui on dit qu'il serait prêt à l'engager mais qu'il devait signer un contrat comme quoi il resterait minimum 6 mois. (Il voulait rester 3 mois)
Il a décidé de ne pas mentir et est parti.
Il est allé a un centre (ou tu peux faire ton C.V. et qui donne plein d'info sur les offres d'emploi sur banff) Et une dame lui a référé une agence de placement.
L'agence l'a pris sur le champ (même sans expérience et un anglais médiocre) et le lendemain il ce trouvait à travailler dans l'hotel en question (celle qui demandait de signer le contrat :P). Ironique
Je sais qu'à Banff plusieurs hotel font signer ce genre de contrat.
Sinon les emplois ils en pleuvent! C'est mieux d'être sur place pour trouver de la job et il n'y a pas que les hotels qui offres le logement et la bouffe, y'a aussi certaine chaine (une copine a travaillé au Mc Donald!!! Et ils lui offrait ue chambre!) (SAuf que me souvien plus si s'était à Banff ou Edmonton...)
Alors n'hésitez pas!! Vous verez sur place!

Moi et mon ami nous allons à Banff et nous voulons travailler ... donc j'aimerais savoir si quelqu'un pouvais m'informer d'avantage sur les emplois (contacts) à Banff puis les démarches à faire pour appliquer à l'emploi en question.
Votre aide sera grandement apprécier merci !

Salut!
Une copine et moi aimerions partir dans l'Ouest Canadien, et de préférence en Alberta pour parfaire notre anglais et pour pouvoir voyager par la meme occasion. On aimerait bien connaitre tes expériences de travail a l'hotel, le nombre de temps que tu y a travaillé, le salaire gagné, etc. Bref, tout pour etre bien informé. Merci d'avance.

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.

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!!

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[;)!!!]

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!^^
