Hi, I am trying to relocate to Luanda in July of this year to be with my Fiancé who is Angolan. I have already been approved to leave from my current teaching position for the next school year up to a few years leave total.
When I spoke with the Consulate, they told me I can't apply for a residence visa as we are not yet married. They didn't seem clear on that though. I don't see why I can't apply on my own...So anyways, I have been looking into getting a work visa but I need a job offer first.
I have been encountering a lot of difficulty finding schools to apply to online from Canada. I am also told, that in Angola, you need good contacts to get a job in many cases.
Unfortunately, I don't know many people there yet but am hoping to find someone on here who might be able to connect me with another teacher or school in Luanda.
I have experience in ESL, Spanish, Tourism, Nutrition and core subjects (Social Studies, Science, Language Arts) in English. Also, I worked for 5 years in tourism in Vancouver, BC.
Does anyone have any advice that might help me? Apparently it also takes a minimum of 6 months for a work visa to be approved...
Thanks,
Valerie
