Hey everyone, so I've got a question and I'm not sure if I should be posting it here? It's kind of a 2-way?
So as of last year I decided I'd love to live in Canada with my girlfriend, she's Canadian as well.
Now this is one part of it, I think I'm going to have some major issues even getting a visa to work there, I'm 23 and I don't have much experience in a major job field they are looking for, and I wouldn't be able to afford school although if I could go back I would.
One of my friends who is currently around the area I'd like to be in (Vancouver) mentioned working on an oil rig and I'm honestly taking this into serious consideration with how desperate I'm feeling.
On the other hand, I do have 4 years hands on experience with home health care, the not so great side is that I was doing this sort of under the table for my uncle, and not for any companies. I was primarily making sure he was taking medicines, and being transported back and forth from doctor appointments and dialysis, which usually had taken about 8-9 hours a day for 3-4 days a week. I've also been driving with a clean record for a little over 5 years now if that could make any difference.
I guess my other problem sort of ties into this one, and I've done a lot of research and I could live there, but it would just be getting some sort of work visa, and I don't have any family up there, my girlfriend and I are planning on marriage but it's just hard with me not being able to find a sustainable job where.
I hope this all makes sense to anyone that would care to give me some sort of pointers or tips to where I could look with limited job experience that I guess can't really be used on my resume or job application? Basically I'd do anything I can to be there at this point to start working and build up a new life there as silly as that may sound.
Edit: I'm from the United States and I currently possess a regular passport booklet and card.
