My International Experience & Resources
There are a LOT of possibilities to move abroad, depending on your project, the partnership between your home nation and your desired destination country or your age.
About my experience
- My first international experience was to be an Au Pair in New York, with a J1 Exchange Visitor VISA. It is considered as a cultural exchange. It allows you to live with a family in another country and receive a salary for providing childcare services to the kids of the family.
- I am currently doing an international work experience (EIC program) in Montreal, Québec. I arrived two years ago with a Young Professional work permit. You need to already have a job offer and be between 18 and 30 years old to be eligible. It allows you to work for two years in the country.
- To fully immigrate, I am currently in the process of Permanent Residency in Canada.
