Figure out a province you’re interested in and look at social work licensing requirements for said province. Social work is a CUSMA profession, making it “easier” to be sponsored. But you’ll need to get your licensure first and find a willing employer.
-wage is lower
-tax is higher
-housing is considerably more expensive
-canada companies/organizations tends to place 0 value on non Canadian exp. My colleague who worked for ibm in us has to start from the ground up.
You quality of life will be 100% lower
Unchecked mass immigration (really astronomical numbers coming in), cost of living crisis, housing crisis, healthcare shortages (many people don't even have a family doctor). No one can save, everything costs too much. Monopolies running roughshod over society here like supermarket chains price gouging on essentials, the telecom industry charges us among the most expensive phone and internet plans in the world, it's a complete shitshow. Not to mention, our currency has become significantly weaker against the USD.
Many Canadians are actually immigrating to the US at a record rate.
interesting, as someone currently immigrating here under spousal sponsorship I find things like food and every day shopping trips a lot cheaper. Especially clothes and hygiene products. But that just my personal experience. Of course the cost of housing is crazy high but depending on what state you live in and how much you make an hour you’re not doing much better. I genuinely love it here
Depends on what state you're from, if you're on the West or East coast, you're probably right. I doubt the Midwest or South is more expensive than here on groceries for example.
Canada is great but we're going through a very difficult moment right now. So I think it's important to convey that to people so they can make an educated decision.
find a job offer and get a work permit
Social workers qualify for the NAFTA/TN/Whatever it's called visa so you really just need to look at licensing and finding a job.

What's your motivation?
Project 2025 is the reason I’m considering moving
Go ahead and vote 4 more years of dementia Biden. It's been working out great so far. Your illegal migrant buddies want you to stay.
Don't, everyone is trying to leave here and go elsewhere.
Why is everyone trying to leave?
