Is moving to Canada still a better option than anywhere else?

    Anyone see this facebook page? https://www.facebook.com/canadiansagainsthetemporaryforeignworkerprogram?fref=ts

    Seems to be aimed more towards Asians and workers in smaller towns but still a bit worrying if this sentiment exists among Canadians. Is this a commonly held view or a minority one that doesn't really affect Irish over there?

    Id be in the same frame off mind if I go to Canada, using it as two years living in another country, money is not even in the top 50 things I want from my trip. I will be taking any job I can get over there. Its easy to turn down them sort off jobs in Ireland as you have mammy/daddy or the dole to fall back on, in Canada these are not an option

    That's my thinking, I'm not going for a career, more a change of scenery, life experience, meeting new friends etc.
    Plus the states isn't far and I love visiting there, I'll hopefully have enough money to not need a job immediately and just enjoy it for a while, I need a break from everything and it's the perfect chance to do it. I'm 32, not married, no kids, no mortgage, I could wind up hating it and coming home in a few months but screw it, least I tried something different, and I won't be any worse off over there than here, working in a job I despise.
    I think knowing you only have a limited time there will make you take more chances, not get stuck in a place or job you don't like as why would you? it's a huge country, you can always up sticks and go someplace else.

    Hello 4 years older me :D I pretty much hope to have a similar experience to my Australia one, where well putting it nicely I went out there a complete mammys boy and ended up having the time off my life meeting people I never would have met in my home town. I really have nothing tying me down here and like you said might hate it, but giving it a shot is better than the lads around here who consider going to Galway an achievement
