Vie au Canada

Original post
je compte partir vivre au canada dans la cadre d'une immigration . je voulais savoir s'il est difficile 🙁 de trouver un petit travail le temps de s'installer. je veux savoir aussi s'il est nécéssaire d'avoir une grande somme d'argent au départ.😕
salut,
ca fait 10 mois que je suis au canada dans le cadre d'un pvt. Et je peux dire que trouver du travail ici il y rien de plus facile.
J'ai travailler dans 3 villes differentes, a chaque fois j'arrivais la bas seule sans rien savoir du coin, et j'allais coucher a l'auberge, et a chaque fois ca m'a pas pris plus de 5 jours pour trouver un emploi. Evidemment il faut que tu sois prete a pas faire la difficile, faire le menage, etre caissier, ou ce genre de trucs. Ici un temps plein est de 40 heures par semaine et le salaire minimum varie selon les provinces mais il peut etre aussi bas que 6 dollars/h. Personellement j'ai trouve qu'avec un emploi a 9/h c'est suffisant pour vivre et mettre un peu d'argent de cote si t'es tout seul. Si tu as des enfants c'est sur que c'est different.
Moi je suis arrivee ici avec 3000 $ = 2100 euros. C'etait plus que suffisant. Je sais pas si tu comptes aller au quebec ou dans l'ouest, mais dans les deux cas la premiere chose a faire est de prendre un rendez vous au centre a l'emploi ou ils te feront ton cv a la quebecoise ou te le traduiront en anglais canadien. ils te donneront aussi quelques adresses. Ensuite il te suffit d'aller deposer tes cv dans les endroits qui t'interessent, en general si t'arrive a parler au manager t'es presque sure de trouver un job. De plus ici ils sont pret a te laisser ta chance meme si t'as pas d'experience, et tu pourrais te retrouver a faire un job auquel t'aurais jamais eu acces chez toi.
Dans mon cas j'ai travaille a victoria (BC), banff (AB) et je suis maintenant a whitehorse (YT), ce sont toutes des villes ou il est facile de trouver du travail. Si t'as besoin de faire de l'argent tu peux prendre deux boulots.
dans tous les cas bonnes chances et si t'as d'autres questions je peux peut etre t'aider.

Bonjour,
J'ai 34 ans et ma question est un peu dans le meme genre d'idée....A savoir j'exerce le metiers de commercial, depuis 10 ans, dans la vente de fournitures aux entreprises et je souhaite partir vivre au Canada...Penses tu que je peux trouver sur place 1 travail du meme type, ou par mail...ou dois je me contenter d'1 ptit job pour commencer...
Merci d'avance

bonjour,
pour le prix des locations je peux pas trop vous aider, j'ai moi meme habite dans un logement fourni par mon employeur a banff, et maintenant je loue une chambre, j'ai jamais essaye de louer un vrai appart. le seul exemple que je peux donner c'est une chambre en coloc a victoria pour 400$, ou bien une chambre a whitehorse pour 400$ egalement. Une chose pourtant est que, contrairement a la france on ne vous demande pas de prouver que vous avez un emploi en cdi, que votre conjoint a un emploi que votre pere votre mere votre grand pere et votre oncle ont tous des emplois, on vous demandera plutot de payer 2 mois de loyer d'avance et c'est tout. Pas de voiture non plus mais c'est definitevement beaucoup moins cher qu'en france, quand a l'essence son prix peux varier beaucoup d'un jour a l'autre et selon la place, mais c'est rare que ca depasse 1$ le litre, c'est a dire 70 centimes d'euros, c'est donc pas cher. pour la nouriture, pour etre honnete j'ai jamais habite de grosse villes, par exemple ici a whitehorse les prix sont plus eleves a cause du cout du transport et donc mes estimations sont pas tres representatives. mais je dirai que c'est legerement moins cher qu'en france, a part pour les produits laitiers qui sont plus cher. quand au fromage faut l'oublier. le vin est vraiment cher, la biere pas donnee. je dirai que pour les trucs de base: fruits, legumes, les pates et tout ca c'est tout a fait raisonnable. Em resume, si vous etes habitue au prix francais, ne vous attendez pas a voir une grosse augmentation de votre pouvoir d'achat. Quand a la secu, j'en sais rien, depuis que je suis ici j'ai jamais ete chez le medecin. Mais aujourd'hui j'y suis allee car j'avais besoin d'un certificat medical, resultat la secretaire m'a dit que ca me couterait 240 $ pour faire remplir un formulaire!!! Je n'ai pas immigre mais j'ai tout de meme un permis de travail et un travail, je peux pas croire qu'il y ai pas moyen que ca me coute moins que ca. enfin pendant que j'essaie de pas me faire arnaquer par les medecins canadiens je peux quand meme vous dire que dans la plupart des emplois une anciennete de 3 mois vous donne droits a des "benefits" c'est a dire une couverture medicale pour vous et votre famille, une sorte de mutuelle. et les lois sur la "secu" change enormement d'une province a l'autre.
voila, je peux pas trop vous aider car j'ai pas essayer de m'installer au canada comme vous, je suis juste en voyage passant quelques mois ici et la, mais tout de meme si vous avez d'autres questions je peux toujours essayer de vous aider.

bonjour,
Je suis pas certaine mais je pense qu'avec votre experience vous aurez pas de mal a trouver un boulot dans votre branche, surtout que commercial ca marche toujours.
vous pouvez essayez par internet, mais je sais que souvent ici les gens preferent embaucher quelqu'un avec qui ils ont parle et eu un bon contact, plutot qu'un inconnu meme s'il est un peu plus qualifie. En tout cas c'est l'impression que j'ai.
bonne chance a vous.

C'est pas compliqué trouver une job au Québec. Tu rentres dans place... tu dis que tu veut travailler, y vont te parler un peu et surement que t'auras meme pas besoin de passer d'entrevue, les gens aime ceux qui vienne LIVE SUR PLACE.
Y'as des jobs facile entre 8 et 12 dollars de l'heure comme journalier ou manutentionnaire. Y'as également des jobs facile dans des resto a 6 piace avec de bon pourboires qui reviens a 11-12 dollars de l'heure.
Y'as également des jobs de cuisine dans les hopitaux, les jobs syndiqués quoi, qui paie 15-16 de l'heure avec une minime perte d'impot, assez facile a avoir.
A preuve, a 17 ans je gagnais 15$ de l'heure dans un hopital de longue et ca été facile comme tout etre accepté.

Il y a en ce moment meme, une penurie d'infirmiere et d'infirmiere auxiliaire qualifiee dans le domaine hospitalier. Au pire, suivre le cours de preposee au beneficiaire, pour commencer. Des le debut du cours, tu peux commencer a travailler dans le domaine (agences privees, ou encore mieux, dans un centre hospitalier gouvernemental). Ce sont les debuts, qui sont les plus durs. Car au debut, on a tres souvent un horaire disons, disparatre (soir, nuit, fin de semaine, sur appel, etc). Mais avec l'experience, le salaire augmente et l'horaire devient de plus en plus "normal". Bonne chance a tous! 😉

Bonjour Linda,
Je travaille maintenant sur un important projet pour les infirmières formées à l’étranger, en forme de série de vidéos en ligne. Il vise à les aider dans leurs démarches d’obtention d’accréditation et de reconnaissance professionnelle au Canada.
Est-ce que vous connaissez une l’infirmerie auxiliaire crédité à l’étranger qui travaille maintenant au Québec? Je cherche quelqu’un pour partager leur expérience en tant que professionnel d’hors du Canada.
Merci!

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.

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’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! 🥺🏻

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,
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,
Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune

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!^^
