I'd like to throw Prague into the mix - it's 1/3 the cost of living of Western Europe, most people speak English, and it's a hop skip and a jump to many major European cities. It's also a very "international" city and you will surely meet people from all over the world. There is a huge expat population as well as many ESL teachers.

Hello,

I am curious about Canadians traveling/working in Europe. When you say will go work, is this with a sponsored work Visa or as a tourist under the table kind of work?

I am a French Canadian currently living & working in Japan, and my Girlfriend has received her Holiday Work Visa for France. We will be moving there late this year. As of now, I will be entering on a 90 day tourist Visa, although I wish to stay for the full year, therefore I will be looking for a work sponsor before going.

If I cant land a sponsor, Im wondering how hard it is to find under the table work, and stay over the 90 days?

Thanks for any feedback,
Patrick

Switzerland is super expensive from what my friends have told me. Like the most expensive by a landslide. Europe in general is way overpriced compared to North America. Forget paying double for gas, or petrol as they call it here in England, that is nothing. A low end hotel restaurant wanted 7.50 euros for a bottle of coke in Paris. Yes i know it is Paris but that is like $11 cdn for a bottle of coke. You will find food and housing very expensive in Europe. Wine is cheap in France and beer is similar to Canada in England. Eating out cost tons. There is money to be made here but your normal jobs won't really get you ahead here.

The U.K. is expensive, but if you find a live-in job (there are many) you can end up saving a lot of money. The pound isnt as strong as it used to be which is good if you are going there with the Canadian dollar, but less of an advantage if you are working.
The U.K. has tons of low cost airlines to get you around Europe for weekends/breaks. Or just work for 6 or 8 months and then travel for the same period of time.

Saying that, I love Germany and would like to work there one day as well. Without speaking German it might be a bit difficult to find a job. Stick to the tourist areas and I am sure there are some jobs where they need English speakers.

Good luck and have fun!
