'm interested in either moving to Spain, England, Belgium but France it's my #1 option. I'm learnign french and I think I'm very good at it because I also speak Spanish.
Can my dream become true?
If yes, how?
I liked their culture? lol, do you know how many cultures you can find only inside of Italy??, if you′re aiming at the best countries job wise ,I′d look from Germany upwards, the rest are not really good countries to look for a job right now, specially for a non EU citizen.
If you are not European, you will have to arrange a visa in order to move to one of the countries there legally. European regulations require employers to advertise jobs and demonstrate that there are no viable European candidates for a job before they can offer a position to a non European. In the best of times non-Europeans have to have specialized skills, education and/or experience that cannot be easily duplicated by European job seekers. You're more likely to get a job that takes advantage of your education and skills than an entry level job; however, it's very difficult. Expecting a job when you don't already speak the local language or expecting employers to go to the time and expense to get you a work permit when that wouldn't be necessary for European candidates is unrealistic.
Right now, the overall unemployment rate in Italy is around 12% and it's around 37% for young people. In Spain and Greece, the unemployment rate is 27% overall and much higher for young people. In Portugal, the unemployment rate is 18% and France is seeing record high numbers of unemployed people. In the UK, the unemployment rate is 7.8%, but at least the number of jobless fell in June. Sweden is a lkittle higher. The lowest unemployment rates are in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Norway. Right now, the chances are not good, but it might get easier as the economy improves.
My direct experience is with Italy where I lived for the past 13+ years (working for a Swedish company); other countries here in Europe will have similar rules. It's not all that different anywhere else. The site for visas in Italy is: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp . The site has links to the application, the additional information you need to supply in order to get the visa and where to apply. It also includes education visas which are somewhat easier to get than work visas. You can find similar information for other countries on their consulate websites.Visa information on the website of the French Consulate in New York is here: http://www.consulfrance-newyork.org/-Vis... . You can find other consulate websites with a fairly simple search. Note that you'll need to apply to the consulate that has jurisdiction over the state where you live, but you can find the necessary information on any of the consulate websites.
A work permit is separate - you cannot apply for that yourself in many countries. The company has to apply and they have to be able to demonstrate that there is not a viable EU candidate for the job. As a result, jobs for foreigners including Canadian or US citizens are pretty much restricted to people with special education, knowledge, or experience ... and you would have to be able to speak the local language. However, the level of English is high in Scandinavia and most adults speak it very well. You would be able to manage well while learning the language. Right now, as noted above, the best bet would probably be something in the healthcare field which is a fit for you. When I moved here, it was through a transfer of the job I was already doing in the US to the Italian office. Even so, it took 8 months to put all the paperwork in place to apply for a visa. If you already have a job offer, the company will provide you the information you need for your visa application and take care of things like work permits.
It's useful to check the expat sites for information about living and working in the places you might be interested in:
http://www.expatsinitaly.com/
http://www.escapeartist.com/
http://www.expatica.com/
You can find other sites by searching for "expat" and the name of your target country. These sites will tell you how to register your address, provide information about healthcare, banks, and so forth to ease you into daily life.
You need to be aware that if you are a US expat, you would need to file tax returns in the US as well as in your host country and that can get to be expensive.
I hate to burst your bubble, but you can't just up and move to Europe simply because you don't like where you are currently living. It just doesn't work that way.
Taking a holiday in France or Spain is one thing, but living there is another thing entirely. It's a different planet. Different language. A lot of different things.
Of course, this is completely irrelevant if you can't get an employment visa - and those are only issued to highly skilled and educated individuals in certain professions. A student visa usually runs out with a year after you graduate from university, and in some countries it doesn't entitle you to work. Having a student visa doesn't usually help you get an employment visa later ....
Nice to dream, but making it a reality will be very very difficult to impossible. Sorry hon, but that's the fact of it.
Can? Yes.
Probably? Not really...
Your best bet is to start with studying in one (any) European country. That's the only (more or less) exception that'll let you get the required visa without some major problems, at least for the time of your study.
That time will also let you get (hopefully) contacts with possible future employers - basically, without a job, you won't get a visa, and it'll have to be a well-paying job (Ph.D. level or so).
Speaking the language is just a minor point - esüecially if it's Spanish. Apart from Greece, Spain is one of the countries with the highest unemployment rate in the EU. That may change by the time you can come here, but again - unlikely.
For Germany, the website of the DAAD my be helpful - conditions for other EU countries, apart from study fees, will be quite similar:
