Canadians in Ireland

[scurnew]

Hi everybody (anybody),

I've recently become interested in obtaining work overseas and Ireland in particular. I'm a computer/communications engineering graduate (Master's degree) so I'm looking for some kind of technical work. Engineering work would be ideal, but I could also do IT stuff, or even teach various math and computer related topics.

My main questions are, and you'll have to excuse my ignorance here, but is it very difficult for a Canadian (Newfoundlander, to be more specific) to obtain work in Ireland? How would I go about landing something over there? What do I have to know about visas? I'm quite serious about doing this and just looking for any advice I can get. I realize I've just asked many broad, encompassing questions, but any help is appreciated.

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can help us, I am a Canadian living in Dublin with my Irish Girlfriend. I have been here on a SWAP visa for almost a year. We are trying to find out a way for me to stay here legally for longer, We tried to get DE-facto statusbut they wont grant it as we have not been together for 4 years. not sure if I will get work permit as i am not a skilled worked and have to wait until my current visa runs out before I can try for it So just wondering if anyone has been in this situation and all info in very welcome, thanks

so not alot of Canadians out in the open in Ireland eh? shitty. I'm setting off to Ireland with a friend to work for a year late this summer and the only real concern we have is securing a steady supply of weed (were from Vancouver so obviously this is our primary concern, of course we would never try and solicit the sale of illegal narcotics in a foreign country from a fellow countryman.), anyways were lookin for a couple "cool" Canadians to "chill" with while were over there, HOLLA.
