Just some general suggestions:
travel the place you want to be relocated to a few times before making a final decision.
And remember that you would probably have to offer more then what the locals can, to make all the paperwork and hassle for a relocation worthwhile for the employer.

Extremely competitive and difficult. If someone from their native land can do it, then you are out. Goes the same for most places. Generally, a company can import/find an individual based upon specialization, etc., however, these positions are far and few between. Unless of course you know someone, then it's pure BS, like any other situation.
Quebec? That's not over any sea from where you are bro... Mexico?
Good Luck :)

I would recomend moving before actually getting the job.
That way it might be easier to get a job.
And I don't think that there's any place where finding a job is easy...So move, get to know the city, and you will find a job!

One alternative, Marriage. Once you are in the EU, you are in. You can work all over. Try and become a resident. There's gotta' be more benefits in being a resident in the EU than being a citizen in Mexico. No offense.

LOL
no offence taken, I am native from Mexico but I got married in the US and wife now would like to live overseas, so I was wondering how things were over there.
And like some one pointed out I understand that you have to offer more than what the locals do, though world

I don't know too much, but I lived and worked overseas for nearly 6 years. Is your wife from the US?
Have you tried looking at this http://www.jobsindubai.com a Canadian firm runs this. Maybe they have some stuff.
From my experience, it took me a while to meet other foreign nationals and then when I did, I made good contacts and jumped around.

yeah she is from the USA, and her background is from Germany so she has the idea of moving back over there which I am not opposed to see other lands. but i need to see my options first, know what i mean?
thanks for the link

Ahhh, interesting, where about in DE? You are WAAAAAY ahead of the game, she knows the culture and customs. Once you're in one country over there, much of it is the same. IMO, very compact and easy lifestyle.
That jobs in dubai link has some FANTASTIC contractor gigs. Like 80 to 90K for basic sh*t.
good luck man :)

i dont know exactly where but yeah, she went to college there and all. Well see how it goes.
How was your experience overseas?
Is there any specific reason why you came back?
- ********0
Came back because of family, money and the fact that the EU was kicking me out and didn't want me back. The African countries, same thing, work permits, visas, etc. all ran out. In the future, that will change. Eventually moving back..

My experience?
People, food, weather, culture, all were lovely. Politics and Governments were bad. Same story all over.
