Bonjour a tous . Voilà, j'en ai un peu marre de la France et j'aimerai partir au Québec changer de vie avec mes seuls économie qui me reste ... Mais voilà après avoir demandé conseil a quelques personnes , j'ai eu des différents avis : comme faire les démarches administrative en France avant de partir ou partir en vacances et en même temps chercher un job sur place et ainsi faire les formalités du place . Esceque cela est il possible que me conseillerais vous . Et en avouant que je n'est pas un énorme cv . J'ai juste 5 ans d'expérience au pompier de Paris et 6 ans dans le commerce sur les marchés . Merci d'avance
Effectivement cela devient saoulant d'ouvrir les journaux ou d'allumer la TV.Et de voir que tous est fini...Sarko le retour avec son sauver la France du naufrage.Quelles bandes de nuls!🤪
Après comme le dit Etrefal le pvt qui maintenant passe à deux ans.Et la meilleure option, tu verras c'est quoi d'être loin de :
_ta famille
_tes ami(e)s
_points de repères
_les hivers qui des fois ne terminent pas voir hiver dernier ou encore neige en septembre dans certaines provinces
_la bouffe pas forcément aussi bon rapport qualité/prix qu'en France
_différence de culture Québec/France, bien entendu si tu trouves une quebecoise elle pourra t'apprendre😊
_difficulté de se faire des "ami(e)s
Faut savoir que pas mal de français finissent par rentrée en France.Après quelques années voir plus et revendent maison etc, à cause de ces raisons cités plus haut.
Le Quebec c'est 6 millions d'habitants dont 3 a Montreal. Tout le monde veut rester a Montreal au niveau des immigrants pour x raisons donc le taux de chomage n'est pas top a Montreal et plus largement au Quebec.
J'avais obtenu un visa d'immigrant il y a 20 ans que je n'ai pas utilise. Je ne serais pas rester au Quebec mais je serai parti dans l'Ouest ou le marche du travail est en meilleure sante. Il faut par contre parler anglais.
La question de l'equivalence des diplomes et des ordres professionels est assez chiante, il vaut mieux quelquefois repartir a 0 ou dans une branche nouvelle.
Dans le contexte Francais actuel, tu n'as pas grand chose a perdre meme en cas d'echec. La plupart des Francais qui reviennent en France re-decouvrent un pays qu'ils n'avaient pas su apprecier a sa juste valeur et la bouffe et les relations sociales comptente nettement plus pour les Latins que pour les Anglo-Saxons et a long terme, ca pese effectivement.
Le Quebec est francophone mais Nord Americain de mentalite/culture ce qui nuire a long terme a un veritable epanouissement pour certains.
Avant de bouger, analyse clairement ce que tu recherches:fric, boulot, cadre/qualite de vie, perspective de carriere, etc.
Comme ca cadrera ta demarche.
Je rajoute mon conseil aux autres, qui sont excellents:
Bien préparer son projet. Avoir un plan et assez de ressources financières pour les premiers mois.
Des Français qui ont tout claqué pour aller vivre ailleurs, j'en ai vu au Québec (d'où je viens) et ici aussi, au Mexique (où je vis actuellement). Les conséquences sont parfois tristes.
'Présentement, je suis en contact avec une jeune famille de France et ils ont peu évalué leur projet au Mexique, psychologiquement et financièrement ils sont à bout, je dois même prendre leurs enfants chez moi tellement la tension est élevée...😕
Ils sont ici depuis 2 mois...
Je pense que la préparation est la clé, ainsi que l'attitude. Le Quebec étant francophones, beaucoup de Français sous-estiment le fossé culturel. Accepter d'emblée les différences de mentalite (très difficile à faire même pour quelqu'un ouvert d'esprit).
Si tu es jeune, sans attaches et bien décidé, fais le, dans le cas contraire evalue tout avant de faire le saut.
Un PVT n'engage pas à grand-chose, mais il faut survivre pendant cette période.

Salut Alex, tu vas bien ?
Je surplussoie +++ d'autant que j'ai une amie (une amie, pas une copine de boulot) qui vient de repartir en France il y a quinze jours après 6 ans passés à Montréal à lutter pour simplement avoir le droit de travailler. C'est une supernana, une battante, une lutteuse, hyper positive pour tout. Elle avait une agence de communication à Paris et souhaitait exercer à Montréal où elle était venue vivre avec ses deux enfants. Au début, tout a été génialissime, un peu comme quand on change de femme de ménage, et surtout quand la vache de la nouvelle femme de ménage peut brouter dans un champ plus vert que celui de la vache de la précédente. Au bout de 2 ans elle a commencé à déchanter, au bout de 4 ans à déprimer, et au bout de six ans à repasser par la case départ sans toucher les 200 balles, et en ayant brouté toutes ses économies.
Pour un bilan, c'est un sacré bilan... Bien peu encourageant, pas vrai ?
Je n'ose imaginer ce qui doit se passer dans la tête quand on doit revenir au bercail, sans le sou, ou presque, avec un vieux sentiment d'échec au ventre... Pas évident ! Si ça doit m’arriver un jour, je choisirai plutôt le gaz, c’est le moins douloureux...
Puisque Rémy à remplacé « plaquer » par « claquer » il aurait pu poser la question d’une autre façon, par exemple :
« Quitte à tout claquer, pourquoi ne pas le faire au Québec »

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.
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...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
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!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
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.
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?
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!
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.
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 there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
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.
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?
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! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
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?
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?
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.
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! 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!^^
