Canadia

I think I'm tired of trying to change things here. I could move just a few hours away and not have to think about it.

I wonder how long and difficult it would be to emigrate to Canada.

Thank you again for your awesome info.

I am a licensed clinician with a master's in social work. So I'm not sure how licensing and stuff would match up there. I suppose I need to do some sort of research into that. Here I am licensed for everything including private practice therapy (which I have never done).

That's good that you found something, even if it wasn't in your field, relatively quickly. Jen doesn't have a "field" and I'm always worried that she will have a hard time finding work. :)

You will do fine with those credentials.

Then bring on the maple leaf, baby. Seriously, just the subsidized university alone is enough to make me want to move my family.

Yay!

One of the things they asked us in the immigration interview was: what would you do for work if you can't find work in your field?

Depending on where you live, Jen won't need a field, per se - a set of skills will do fine.

Because maternity leave is 1 year here there are always 1 year contracts floating around - that was how I got my first job here (oh yeah and my first teaching job was a mat leave contract)...

This is the sort of official site for work in Canada:
