Classifieds / English/Polish speaking Canadian looking for work as Electrician in Poland [26]

Hi, my name is Pawel

I'm a Canadian citizen considering moving to Warszawa Poland I speak/write/read both English and Polish fluently. I'm here to look for some kind of direction and help where I could find work in my field as an Electrician.

I have my Red Seal Electrical Journeyman Ticket and am looking for work in Poland, or shift work anywhere in Europe.

What are some opportunities for oil and gas or mining jobs in Europe or Asia (Shift work fly in fly out) ?

Would it be difficult to find work as an Electrician in Warsaw.

Thank you.

I need to find some more information about my qualifications transferring over, the Red Seal from my understanding is a high standard to hold and recognized internationally. I might need to take an equivalency exam but either way if I had to start again then I suppose I would. The reason for the move is my wife she still lives in Poland, we are unsure if she will like it here in Canada so the alternative would be moving to Poland, i'm just looking for some information in case something like this would come up.

I checked the wages for my industry and they are substantially lower than in Canada but compared to the cost of living in Poland they're not bad, I would have to say they're equal to our cost of living and wages.

Working in germany

Where does your wife live if its drivable to Germany that would be a way better option

I don't speak German, I think it would be harder for me to find work in Germany if I can't even speak the language

You don't need to transfer them, they're (at least until Brexit...) automatically valid here.

Canadian as well or are you talking about UK specifically, where can I find information about this? or what are you sources?

start the process as early as you can get an extended holiday from work and come here with the sole aim of establishing if you can

This is a good idea if I need information the best place to start would be in the country I will be living in. We will see what road we take, I have no problem with my Polish it is my first language so fluency is very exceptional but I have never lived in Poland so I am not sure what to expect. I visit regularly at least once a year for a month to see relatives and extended family but travel and leisure will be much different from living and working.

I have read that skilled trades are in high demand in Poland is this still true, how is the economy are they expanding are they building a lot

I presume then you've lived in Calgary your whole life, but are simply a bilingual of Polish parents born abroad, is that right?

Yes born and raised in Calgary first generation. I met a beautiful women in Poland and now we are married, she still lives there and we are trying Canada first.

If you have Polish nationality, Polish passport this may be easy

I believe I can get citizenship through birthright if I am still eligible I am first generation Canadian but I've been told I need to have claimed that by 21yrs old, or second option would be sponsorship through my wife who lives in Warszawa, Poland. But I have read the process is long.

Richthecat, thank you for the advice I will look for more information at the Urzad pracy and slowly begin to understand what I am up against. It is never easy immigrating to any country you really need to prepare.

Also thank you for offering to help this might be in a few years or more though before we plan this move to Poland if it happens at all, I hope my wife and I can stay in Canada and just travel to Poland but we will need to see how she fits in here first.

If your parents were Polish and have documents

This brings up another concern of mine, I read that once my parents forfeit their citizenship for Canadian citizenship then I can't get this birthright citizenship anymore. I'm not sure if my parents still hold Polish citizenship status

News / Could Poland be self-sustainable in energy? [56]

Merged:

Poland Renewable Energy



What is Polands take on renewable energy, I know that there is a smog problem in some parts of Poland ie: Warsaw is bad. Does Poland / EU have a plan to limit pollution, are there any rebates or intensives for people going green or buying electric ???

I wonder if a solar / EV company would be sustainable there
