    Our country isn’t easy to get in to but you are definitely welcome! There’s no place free of bigots but at least in the cities there are enough of us to protect you.

    Edit: not easy as an immigrant I mean. Getting permanent residence (PR), etc. Tourists from most countries should have little trouble travelling (as long as you don’t have a layover in the USA).

    And depending on the area many small towns are probably fine also.

        I realise this isn’t targeted at me.

        but for anyone reading

        There is desperate need accross the nation for professionals at all levels of care. The exception to my above comment is if you’re in an in-demand field. It will be much easier. The scope of that may have narrowed but nurses, care workers, etc. are in high demand everywhere here and will fast-track you for sure.

        Edit: and our birthrate is dangerously low. We need immigrants to continue to exist as a nation.

          I’m a nurse but life is too good in Belgium. Only thing I miss here is your astonishing nature and the legal green. Though it’s not worth trading my friends, family and culture over for me.

          A nephew of mine did take the leap and lives with his Canadian girlfriend (yes I know this is a meme, but I’ve met her a couple of times, she’s real) somewhere in Canada. Should definitely plan for a visit once my babies are a little bit older.

          What if I promise to become a nurse if you (Canada) puts me through the schooling and gives me citizenship?
