That's a cool $43,000 that I've lost.

This excludes salary differentials, which will be about $10,000/year, as well as my annual bonus from my last job, which is hard to predict, but last year was ~ $23,000.

Maybe Canada is an option?
-
We have been a safe place for expats coming from the US for a long time.

Canada's entry requirements are painful. I have 20 years of work experience. Canada don't care. Canada wants a degree. I'm 39 years old; I don't want to go back to school. Canada wants me to.
-
I know that there is a points system. I believe that if you have a job here there are points for that, same with a degree or close family that are here. Any more or less painful than other countries?
-
To get a job, you need a work visa. To get a work visa, you need a degree. Ergo: To get a job, you need a degree. Canada's requirements, from what I've seen, are A LOT more painful than, for instance, Ireland's or the Netherlands's.
-
I’m not aware of the degree requirement. How would a trades person get a visa?
-
Ironically Canada seems to want blue-collar types more than white-collar types. They're actively seeking e.g. loggers, but IT Professionals are no good to them without a degree.

This is all great information. Thank you. I’m writing my MP about how ridiculous this is. So, Ireland and Netherlands will give you a visa based just on years of work as an IT specialist?
