TravelRe: Working In Oil, Gas, And Mining Camps Abroad by Cousin9999(op): 1:36pm On Dec 21, 2021
Some of you are wondering how the process goes for foreign workers. There's a lot of info for Canada, but I'm not seeing quite as much for the US.

Programs for Immigrants
The industry has responded by developing a number of programs to attract newcomers. These include initiatives to attract newcomers to remote locations of the province, corporate efforts to encourage diversity in the workplace, and strategies for streamlining foreign-credential recognition. In fact, the energy sector has responded by developing a number of programs to attract newcomers and those interested in pursuing a career in Oil & Gas in Canada. Some of these programs include:

Initiatives intended to attract newcomers to remote locations of Alberta & BC
Efforts at the corporate level to encourage workplace diversity
Plans to streamline foreign-credential recognition

1. Express Entry System
If you’re a skilled worker such as an engineering technician, mine overseer, or geologist and would like to work in Canada’s mining industry then one of the quickest and easiest ways to do so is through the Express Entry immigration system. If your application is successful you will obtain a Canadian permanent resident visa. A major benefit of taking the Express route is that you don’t need to find a mining job in Canada as a requirement to qualify for an Express Entry program but it could boost your PR points with an additional 50-200 points!

2. Canadian Work Permit
Intermediate skilled mine workers like laborers and machine operators can work towards a permanent future in Canada with a temporary work visa. You’ll need a job offer to qualify for a work visa that will allow you to work in Canada on a temporary basis. Your Canadian work permit is issued along with a temporary resident visa and indicates for whom you can work, where you can work, and for how long you can work in the country.

TravelWorking In Oil, Gas, And Mining Camps Abroad by Cousin9999(op): 4:51am On Dec 21, 2021
This topic keeps coming up in different threads. And it doesn't seem like too many people are aware of these opportunities. So I'm going to drop random info here on what it's like, pay, options, and locations.

I'll try to post info on reputable firms and staffing firms, but I'm not here to promote a company. I just want people to know what's out there.

I'm focusing on North America, but these jobs are everywhere in the world. However, I think the better work conditions and pay are probably in North America and the UK (I don't trust racist Australians).

But anyway, let's get started.

I'm more impressed by people who can handle real debates, discussions, and interviews where they tackle a broad range of topics, offer good insight, and spur more discussion.

Politicians, entertainers, athletes, or anyone trying to sell something isn't particularly impressive or interesting. They're heavily filtered.

TravelRe: Nairalanders...what Challenges Did You Face Learning Spanish/french by Cousin9999: 4:38am On Dec 20, 2021
Spanish is generally easier, but French has less to learn.

Many people learning French are trying to boost their immigration points for Canada. French just doesn't have the same value as Spanish. However, French does give you greater access to various African markets. It could be valuable as a businessman.

Spanish seems to have so much value because despite all the speakers, the average speaker doesn't value education.

If you're studying Spanish, Spain has lots of great films and tv shows to watch. They would be worth watching even if you weren't studying the language. Latin and South America have no good media. And you should study European Spanish if you want to be marketable.

Good resources for both languages are Schaum's outlines.

This channel has good French material.

TravelRe: How To Relocate To USA As Automotive Technician by Cousin9999: 4:06am On Dec 20, 2021
It's a really common skill, and they can find illegals to do it for scraps while living in squalor.

An exception is remote work. In the US and Canada, there are firms and staffing companies ready to take just about anyone willing to work in extreme environments, e.g. oil and mining. The money is good, but you really earn every bit.

Also, I should mention that you don't actually have to live in the rural area. If you're comfortable with a long commute (2hrs.), you could live in a more developed area nearby.
TravelRe: Entering USA Or Europe As A Married Man Or Single. Which Is Better? by Cousin9999: 3:12am On Dec 19, 2021
1. You'll never be as happy with a foreign woman from a dramatically different culture.
2. Marrying a foreigner gives her a lot of power over you.
3. Your sweet village girl may transform once she's in a position where she has money and options, and you haven't been treating her right.
4. You may not end up staying abroad, especially when the money you make abroad goes so far at home.
5. American women are wack, unless they're African or Caribbean.
6. Black British girls are fun, but they have their own set of ratchets, plus a bunch of tragic mulattos.
7. Don't confuse mulattos for black women. They're basically oyinbos.
8. Don't be a loser and make more mulattos.
9. Black Hispanic women are extremely self-hating, and most have a nasty attitude (like most Hispanics).
10. Fat, sloppy oyinbos will be all over you. They'll give you all their money for the chance to be claimed and bedded by you. Respect yourself. Don't entertain it.
TravelRe: How Can I Know Which Country Will Be Doing Seminar Or Conference Within European by Cousin9999: 1:12am On Dec 19, 2021
It's not a secret. You can Google it and you'll easily get a list. You'll probably have to pay a minimum of 500 USD to attend a conference that will get you a visa.

In-person conferences are still happening. They haven't all gone virtual.

Be warned that even after paying and securing a visa, border police may still deny you entry because of other people overstaying on the same visa (and flat out racism). You may want to book a nice hotel, and have proof that you're working and have bills at home.

Better to get a student visa. There are affordable options in the US and Canada. And you can work legally. Do a medical trade (just about any kind) and you're practically guaranteed a green card.

TravelRe: Canada: Nursing In Remote Communities by Cousin9999(op): 10:21am On Dec 18, 2021
Below are maps of remote and rural locations where you would work. Populations and resources vary considerably. The definition of remote and rural is actually broader than you think.

TravelRe: Canada: Nursing In Remote Communities by Cousin9999(op):
What's kind of cool about this is you can sign on for a short period (a few months), earn as much as you would get in a year elsewhere (or much more), and you can take off. There are other flexible nursing jobs, but this might be the most flexible. It also allows you to develop your skills and experience in a really short time, so you don't miss out on professional development even if you never work more than half the year. Short periods of work are also unlikely to be held against you. In fact, experience in this role (probably like military) may make you more attractive to large, high-paying hospitals.
TravelRe: Canada: Nursing In Remote Communities by Cousin9999(op): 6:29am On Dec 18, 2021
You don't pay for housing or transportation. They put you in a hotel, college dorm, house (shared with nurses), or hosted house. But food can be expensive. The pay below seems typical based on info I'm getting from different sources ($60/hr or 130k to 150k). It doesn't show pay from overtime, and it seems all of them do a lot of overtime (1.5x pay per hour). I'm not sure if this is Canadian or US dollars.

TravelUndocumented In Their Own Land: Brazil’s ‘invisible’ Citizens by Cousin9999(op): 4:44am On Dec 18, 2021
Millions of Brazilians do not have a birth certificate or any other identity papers, which prevents them from going to school, seeing a doctor, finding formal work or receiving a state pension.

Escóssia found that documentary exclusion in Brazil has a structural basis, which begins with a lack of integration in the systems of bureaucracy, such as notaries, who are responsible for drawing up birth certificates, and the state secretariats of Public Security, which control the registry. Other factors include parental abandonment, which is practically endemic in Brazil, racism and sexism. “I met a woman who has no papers because her father said he wasn’t going to have a ‘very black’ daughter to his name, and another whose father only registered his sons because ‘women don’t need it’,” she says.
