Are there ANY Canadians in Belgium?

Good to see your post on here. I just joined this website hoping to find other Canadians in Belgium, and there you are!

I just got here 3 weeks ago, think i will be here for a few months.

Just curious, when it comes to working, is it possible for Candians to get a work visa?

I am living in a town 10 minutes outside of Antwerp, called Deurne. Where do you live?

Hello Ashyk!
Nice to hear that they do exist!

Ah so you are near Antwerp. do you know how to speak Dutch?

Yes it is possible to get a work visa. The local city hall should be able to help you out.
They will tell you what you need to do.

I am in more or less living in Brussels. I have actually been here for 2 years now.

So are you staying here just for the experience then?

Hey Albertagrown,

So you are thinking of moving close to Brussels? Awesome! What is the name of the village (if you don't mind telling).
Yes I found it quite surprising that I have not found any Canadian communities yet. Although I have met some British. There are quite a few Brits living here.

You are partially right. There are some Irish pubs and I have heard English there. Movies are usually played in their original version with subtitles.

There is currently a Star Wars exhibit at Tours & Taxis. Koekelberg had an exhibit on DaVinci (not sure if it is still there). The Atomium is celebrating its 50th anniversary. They light it up during the night (but I think that's every night) and will have fireworks.

There are a lot of good restaurants in Belgium. There is a lot of variety. There is a place called "Cook and Book" which is quite original. And at "Mmm" you get to cook your own dinner!

So what region of Alberta are you from? I used to live in Calgary. before living in Ontario.

Hey everyone! I moved here 5 months ago but only recently found out about this site. I am living in Brussels. I'm looking for people to make a few trips this winter to Chanmonix (or anywhere in the Alps) to snowboard and see some great scenery.

Anyone interested in joining?

Hey,

I am a Canadian, originally from Montreal, now living in Brussels. Haven't met too many other Canadians here, but I should be here for a while so it would be nice to meet some others.

I spent the last year in Amsterdam working for ING Group, currently doing the same only in Brussels .

Hope to hear back from someone!
