Work / What is the average age of graduate students in Poland? [17]
Magister = Master's degree.
Magister degree will not be recognised as equivalent, and rightly so.

Work / What is the average age of graduate students in Poland? [17]
I get the same feeling too. I'll try to find some stats.
However, in Poland there are private and state universities. I think most people who graduate from state schools are younger whilst those graduating from private unis are sometimes older (start uni later, or go part time).
In Poland most students do their bachelor degree (~3 years) and immediately after do their master's degree(~2 years). For some programmes the bachelor/master's degree is all one programme, meaning that students don't always have to apply to a master's programme.
In the USA/Canada, from what i hear anyway, a Polish master's degree is not recognised as being equivalent to a US/CDN master's degree - and rightfully so.
It seems to me that graduate students in Poland seem to be younger than in the US.

A person will get their bachelor and then enter the workforce.

USA, Canada / Moving back to Poland after 7 years in Canada [22]
Well going back to Poland will not be easy. Everything is more difficult there than in Canada, i know from personal experience (i was born in Poland, grew up in Canada).
Many Poles experience this, but many get used to their new lives abroad. 7 years is a long time though...
Interviews usually have to be conducted face to face in Poland. At the very least you have to be in Poland.
Next time you get in touch with a potential employer to schedule an interview, tell them (ummm lie to them) you're back in poland permanently from canada and eager to get an interview. Book a few interviews all within 2 weeks or so and book that time off work to come to poland on "holidays."
Register a polish skype telephone number and put that number on your resume along with a polish address (someone from your family in PL). Zamelduj sie szybko.
If you get a job offer and you take it, try to ask them to let you start in a couple of weeks so you can fly back to canada to give you employer your 2 weeks' notice so you can leave your old job honourably.
Costly, strong potential to not work, but safe.
I think you're out of your mind to go from canada to poland IMHO.
Canada = u pana boga za piecem when compared to Poland
Immigrants. They will be brought in.
I can't help you here as i am out of touch with this so i will allow some other PFer to step in.
The beginning in Canada was very harsh for all of us.

I am very homesick. I miss my family and friends

who will work for the retirement plans of the Polish citizens in future?
Immigrants. They will be brought in.
Are there any incentive programs for people how emigrated to bring them back to Poland?

Love / Why are Polish women so sexy ? [390]
British and Irish women are among the ugliest white women i've ever come across in my entire life. These women are generally not known around the world for being attractive. I lived on the british isles not too long ago, so i know well.
there are plenty of pretty girls in those countries too

USA, Canada / What should I bring back from the U.S. to Poland? [46]
Anything and everything you can fit in your luggage. Poland still needs time to catch up to the US in terms of shopping/products.
I always bring clothing with me because polish clothing is expensive as hell and of p.iss poor quality.
Any ideas?

Love / Polish men are their own special breed ... [96]
Well your wife is correct, us poles are our own special breed. We're different than yanks and american women like us. I think polish guys are better husbands when paired up with non-polish women. Polish women are too difficult.
Enjoy it!
