Moving to Canada from Ireland

9 years ago

Hi all,

Both my boyfriend and I are looking to move to Canada sometime around the end of July. We're both currently employed. I work as a Mechanical Engineer in the UK and he works in Google as an SAE (Senior account executive - I think is what it stands for) in Ireland. We're both Irish, 24 and have been together 7 years.

I have a total of 2.5 years experience in my field and I have a first class honors in my Mechanical Engineering Degree (level 8). I'm currently in the process of leaving my job and will be finished come the end of January 2016. I have nothing lined up but I'm taking the time to sort out visa's, learn a language or at least start, apply for work over in Canada and finally sort my driving license out. I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys may be able to help with.

- How realistic is it to think I'll have a job offer before moving over?

- We're thinking of bringing €8000 between the two of us, about $12,000 and living in Vancouver/ Toronto.

Do you guys think this is enough? In the event neither of us have secured a job before moving do you think we'd be able to find a part time job before burning through the $12k?

Toni.
