Right I've been thinking for a while now that I want to work in a different country (probably Australia or Canada) I was wondering if anyone had been through the process or knows anything about it because i don't :)

Cheers guys Alex x

My company arranges everything for me, so unless your company is sending you out there, I cant help.

I would check the gov sites for uk and where you want to work for advice / guidance.

Tree I havnt personally done it but when I was younger my family was going to move to New Zeeland and all you need to do is get what areas you would live in and look for jobs in them areas and do multiple ones and have your interviews all based around the same time , then you go out there for the interviews , hopefully get a job offer then you can apply for a job visa and if your there for I believe it's 10 years for Australlia you can apply to become a citzen. :)

Hoped this helped a bit

With moving out to Australia there are a number of things to do in order to get out there to live for good. If you can get out there and get hold of a 3 month work visa then you have a 3 month window to get ya started with finding a job. Depending on the field of work your in will depend on what chance you have out there even though the economy out there is currently booming. Before you even go out there you are able to actually open a bank account with an Australian bank and start building up a fund in there which will help you with being taken seriously. This is something my brother did before he even had a job out there. Having family out there helps, my brother stayed with his partners family as well as our own whilst he was finding work, he and his partner now have a lovely apartment in Perth and he has only been out there since sept 2012.

If whilst your out there and find a job try and get a company that is willing to sponsor you as this will increase your chances of being able to stay out there after the 3 month work visa runs out.

As for what lemon said about 10years living out there before you can apply for citizenship, in Australia it is 5 years i believe as my cousin out there has just passed her citizen test and is now an Australian Citizen.

If you want i can ask my brother nicely for a bit more info on exactly how he did it but i am pretty sure that about covers the most of it!
