new zealand; i was a software engineer up until a few weeks ago and did some homework on where i could move a couple years back.

they'll "fast track" you to permanent residency status in 4 years instead of 10 (you'll need more time to become a citizen) and they'll want you to take tests to prove that you're capable.

spanish is the easiest language to learn for english speakers and spain will do it in 2 years with no tests; only proof that you worked as a sofware engineer (you can get eu citizenship after that) and they don't care if you know how to speak spanish or not, but they will test you and make you take spanish language courses if you can't.

i didn't see that one, but i wouldn't doubt it since it and canada seem to be very picky about who they'll let in; it makes me wonder about what will happen to the vast majority of people who say that canada's their exit plan when the united states goes full fascist.

you can get a swastika tattoo and then canada will definitely let you in

so you're saying that i don't need to be a nazi veteran?

that's too bad, because i too want to be publicly applauded by canada's government as a hero for standing against russian agression. lol
