My fiancé recently got a job there and we're waiting for our visas to go through (we're both applying for Youth Mobility - it seemed to be the best option). Although we are not currently living in Frankfurt (yet) I would like to make some contacts in Germany before arriving.

Hi,

I'm a 26 year old canadian living in Berlin. I'm married to a German and currently not working. We've been moving between London, Berlin, Hamburg and Montreal every 6 months for the last two years.

Hi there,

I was wondering if any of you know, what happens when the work permit runs out, if we then start a 90 days period again or if one is expected to leave the Schengen area for 180 days, unless a request for a new permit is in process?

Hi peoples,

I have just moved into my own flat in Colonge.
Because I live alone in a 43 m² flat, I think to let other people to stay here for a few days or longer (if you agree to a share a flat).
I have got a kitchen, a bath and a balcony. A train-station is 2 minutes away from the flat.

So, if you want to spend a few days in Cologne, join ...

I have slowly but successfully integrated into german society and even though I will always love Canada, my homesickness is gone. I got married to my soulmate, I found work and had ...

Hi everyone,
I know lots of people have asked this question, yet most I see are old enough I think some things may have changed.
I am moving to Germany in the summer, after marrying my German fiancee here in Canada.
I am wondering about what kind of paperwork is involved so that I can live and work there.
Also wondering if anyone knows of any good shipping companies here in British Columbia.
Thanks all!! ...
