My hubby & I are seeking a new adventure & a new way of life. Everyday we feel stuck in the craziness of the world we've come to know. We're seeking a slower paced life. One we can actually love and enjoy. We're hoping to be able to move within the next two years. We have a lot of questions as we're just looking into everything.
1. What are the requirements these days for getting residency? Is it hard to get a visa? We both would need to work. (aka - we're not rich)
2. How hard is it to find work? Are there any "in demand" jobs that pay well or at least pay decent? I am a practical nurse in Canada (known as RPN or LPN). Would it be better to get into teaching .... ??? What are nurse jobs like in DR? Would a Cdn RPN/LPN get hired in DR??
3. We have pets!! Is this an issue?
4. I hear a lot about crime. Is there a lot of crime or is it like any big city (ex Toronto in Canada) ?? Is there a way to ensure safety??
Any information anyone has to offer would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!!
