Emigrating Out of the USA

I've always had the dream of emigrating out of the US, even since I was little. I have not once considered staying here for life. I feel like if I end up staying here I will fail my lifelong dream. There are many reasons, but that's not what Im here to talk about.

I was looking at emigrating to Europe, (Particularly the Netherlands) and basically found that it is pretty much impossible unless you marry someone native to the country.

It is to my understanding that Canada is considerably easier to emigrate to, it is still hard, but not impossible.

I've considered New Zealand as well, but it is incredibly far from my family/friends I'd still like to see occasionally.

ANYWAYS, has anyone here successfully emigrated from the US to Europe? What about Canada? How hard was it? How long did it take?

Also, I think I would move to British Columbia, near Toronto, but somewhere much more rural. Any suggestions where?

 

try mexico. you can begin your new life there tomorrow.

 

I've looked into it as well and came to the same conclusion. New Zealand is supposed to be wonderful at helping Americans obtain work visas. I didn't really look into Canada because I was only looking into countries where I could be an au pair or teach English for a short amount of time, but I would assume moving to Canada would be relatively easy.

 

Thanks, Meliai.

 

I've heard it said that Alberta, Canada needs more laborers and Americans are able to get visas and jobs

 

She didn't just kill the babysitter.

I love Mexico. Seriously, I lived in Asia for a year. I just got back. I'm going to try South America next year. I don't really see myself living out the remainder of my days here either.

 

you don't know that for sure...

 

Why do you think I didn't discuss my reasons for wanting to move...?

 

Granted, if you'll admit this makes you sound like Lunaverse and that Zoe is Bin Laden. :biker:

 

never. zoe is clearly saddam hussein.

 

Fact: They are the same dude, played by Zack Effron. AKA Zoe Frakff, it's an anagram.

Also, point of order, Zack Effron is too dreamy.

 

Oh, anyway, Good Luck. My advice is to set up a sham marriage in your new homeland, and have one sham kid. They'll never deport you.

 

this certainly isn't the worst advice I've ever heard. I really wouldn't mind living in Italy for a while. I could definitely handle having a sham marriage with a sexy italian stallion and poppin' out some italian bambinos.

 

Not trying to be a dick, but Toronto is nowhere near British Columbia.

Well, excuse me for not swallowing everything the media puts out.

:beatdeadhorse5:

 

Haha! I've certainly thought about it. I have a friend though who married her gay Turkish friend so he could move to the US, and now she wants to get married for real...and things are getting quite tricky!

 

Ewwwww...Italians...

 

I'm Canadian, a few hours away from Toronto... pm me some nude pics of yourself and I'll consider our sham marriage.

 

lol someone from Colombia once offered to pay me like $5000 to marry him so he could stay in the country. I was really tempted because I don't really believe in marriage in the first place so figured it wouldn't interfere with any future plans, but then I figured with my luck I probably would meet the love of my life right after I married him and find myself in a very sticky situation.

 

I was going to bring up that point of order too, but the way it was phrased made me think she just meant to type or.

And another point of order, that poor horse could have been someones baseball glove.

 

ewwww canadians..
