Hello,
My name is Payton I am a Canadian moving to Amsterdam beginning October for a one year work visa. I previously lived in London, England for two years before moving back home at the end.
I am hoping to get a place and job as soon as I arrive as well a great group of friends. I work as a Office Manager / Administrator currently and hoping to find similar work or a new opportunity.
I love going to the gym, social drinks, and of course wine and movies!

Moving to Amsterdam October 2015!

As a Canadian I get a one year work visa 3 days upon arriving in the Netherlands. So technically no but that's cause you can't get it before.
