I have my canadian citizenship, but I am also Polish. I would like to work over seas, but Im not to sure if would be easier to seek employment under my Polish Citizenship or Canadian. Any advice would be much appreciated.
My strong feeling is that you'll be better off working as a Polish citizen in the UK. The UK has some strict rules when it comes to employing a worker who is outside the European Union.
^^^ but canada is in the commonwealth. i am thinking the opposite hello. i am not over there though.. you may be able to find work easier as polish on the other hand you would probably get payd more as a canadian.
Polish - no contest. As a Canadian you have no rights of residency, therefore no other rights other than a non working tourist. All EU residents have rights in all EU Countries - rights to residency, work, health care and later on; unemployment benefits and pensions. So Poles automatically have these rights.
you can enter the UK much easier as a Polish citizen than a Canadian one, this is because Poland is and EU member like the UK so Poles basically have free movement into the country, where as if you were applying as a Canadian you would need a visa and work permit etc etc.
Thanks for all the info. A friend of mine, who is just Canadian, had to wait 4 months for a work permit. I think it would be easier to work as a Polish Citizen. I currently work as a public servant, here in Canada. Im not too sure where to look for good work. Any advise?
there are a ton of publications and online services, one of the most popular (i didn't say best) it is gumtree.com, umm timeout magazine, monster.uk, just do a web search. I worked there last year, use your polish citizenship it will go waaaaaaaay easier. Oh and look into what you need to setup a bank account, it's not as easy as in canada eh.
