Does anyone know how to get a work visa (ergo job) in Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Sweden)?
There is no fence to jump and I am not into breaking a country's sovern laws. I think it is unfair to get ahead of other honest working people just because you have access to a border/airplane ticket, etc. Does someone have experience, as an American, with getting a working visa in Scandinavia? I have learned to speak and write pretty good Swedish, but I don't know any employers that want to invite me to work. Do work visas allow you to switch employers, or are you forced to stay with the same employer (or else leave the country)? I am not interested in going over there for welfare - I will sign a waiver to receive any welfare benefits. Thanks in advance for your advice. Advice to marry a Swede/Norwegian/Dane is not helpful, nor is the recommendation to become an EU citizen. I know it is extremely easy for gay Iranians and other Muslims to get amnesty visas. There were something like 100,000 immigrant visas granted last year - mostly from the Middle East. Without becoming a gay Iranian, what can I do? The reason I want to go is because I met a girl and we really dig each other. But she can't get a legal work permit for the US either (she is an elementary school teacher).

It's very hard to get a work visa in the Scandinavia if you're not an EU or Scandinavian citizen. They tend to be very separatist and like to keep it that way. However, you can find a multinational American company that does business in Scandinavia and have them post you over to their offices in Scandinavia. They'll have to get a work visa for you in order that you may legally work there. Why do you want to go there? The cost of living is very high over in Scandinavia.

I don't know exactly how difficult it is to get such a visa, but it definitely is not easy. Denmark is adopting a point system now for foreign workers, so that if you have certain kinds of qualifications, education, job experience, prior income, age etc....all can give you points towards being allowed a "green card". There has been talk in Norway about doing the same, but I'm pretty sure they haven't yet. I think probably the best way to go would be to contact either your own embassy in Scandinavia or contact each country's embassy in your country, they should definitely be able to help you with some of these questions. But perhaps you can start by looking at these websites: http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to_dk/coming_to_dk.htm http://www.workindenmark.dk/ http://denmark.dk/portal/page?_pageid=374,477789&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL For Norway, I know that they have a quota of 5000 foreigners per year who may be given a work visa, if they have at least 3 years job-oriented education high school level or higher. It doesn't have to be in a specific line of work, but you need to have a job offer from Norway. The quota has never been filled yet, so if you can get a job offer, you should have a good chance. And getting a job offer might not be so very difficult right now, as there's a general shortage of labor. If you speak and write Swedish, you may be able to understand this article: http://www.bt.no/na24/article330021.ece And here's a link about the type of visa: http://www.udi.no/templates/Tema.aspx?id=7404#specialist I assume you're American, so I found the most relevant website i could for you on working in Sweden: http://www.swedenabroad.com/pages/start____7928.asp Good luck to you.

I have an American bachelor what are my chances getting a work permit in Canada?
I am taking a minor in finance I don't have any work experience in that field, What are my chances that a company in Canada would employ me? Is it easy to get a work permit if you are from Sweden in Canada? Is it a expensive thing for companies to hire non-Canadians?

I suspect they're going to ask you to let the bachelor go before you enter the country. I think you've kept him long enough.
2 :
Get a green card and go to some where like Hamilton or Berrie a small city and you could get a job

They don't get paid that much!

The only thing I can suggest is go to the accurate pay scale and put in your information. Sweden is governed by many different laws. Most depending on experience See this site for an accurate salary and wage determination Wage negotiations in Sweden were especially hard in 1986, with strikes among nurses and doctors. Estimates of hospital doctors' average annual earnings in 2002 ranged from $35,000 to $56,000 in Germany; $127,285 in Britain; and $165,000 to $268,000 in the US. Swedish hospital doctor salaries were estimated at only $56,000 a year - similar to the German figures.

Students can work up to 20 hours per week as long as they have a residence permit and a Swedish personnummer (ie not exchange/guest students). If you are fluent in Swedish, you can take any sort of job that has part-time hours, like working in a restaurant/kitchen/café/club, shops, hotels, cleaning, as a personal assistent, etc. If you don't speak Swedish, you'll likely have difficulty finding work at all. Some people are able to get jobs handing out newspapers and posting bulletins, but there's a lot of competition (especially in larger cities) for only a few jobs. Depending on your skills and languages, there may be other options open to you, like tutoring in your native language, working in a call center or getting a part-time job in a skilled position. However, you can't count on getting work. I know many international students that weren't able to find work for several years (and in a few cases, at all). Student hours conflict with a lot of jobs, which means there's just not much available. There's no minimum wage in Sweden, but most entry level jobs earn about 90 kr (SEK) per hour, which is a little over €8/£7. If you work somewhere like a student union (available at Uppsala and Lund, not sure about elsewhere), the pay will be less. Students generally pay taxes, it depends somewhat on your situation and how much you work/earn.
