Canada has become such a shithole and I can't wait to get out

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're young, pretty much everywhere is a shit hole nowadays.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Pretty much except Iceland and Finland

PS if you're younger than 31 you can get the youth mobility visa to work in Iceland, that started only a few months ago, which is what I'm planning on utilizing

Only open to so many applicants per year, so hopefully you get in. Happiest rating, but also somehow most murders...maybe those correlate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Iceland... Murders? No lol

New Zealand seems to be just fine too.

It’s absolute shit for young people and anyone who doesn’t own a home already. Pants on head insane house prices for cardboard walls and mould. Violent crime and especially gang crime is straight up scary now (though not as bad as the bad parts of America). I left NZ because my outlook was so bleak. I ended up in Denmark and couldn’t be happier. Australia is also a good bet and the women are GORGEOUS. Also Switzerland if you find a path to employment there. Norway is great. Many places in America are still great, despite the counter-jerk.

Nah worse housing mess than us

...and go where exactly?

Things are not easy here but unless you are buying into the Conservative narrative that even the bad weather is Trudeau's fault, "getting out" is not really a better option...

Iceland via youth mobility visa

Alternately my sister in law lives in Finland so have a couple different options

Wow you’re lucky! One of the few countries that treat people well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well I haven't been accepted yet but fingers crossed! They are still processing visas from summer 2023 so I won't know for quite a while

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm I'm sure a 12 month change of scenery would be great... Not sure how that will change your prospects in the mid term

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Should be able to get 24 months, hopefully long enough to find an employer willing to sponsor me permanently
