9) i'm trying now to figure out how to get my fella a work/residence permit or visa and a job.
10) and a place to live or a way to pay for a place to live if All Goes Wrong
11)i'm a Finnish/Canadian, i read write and speak finnish.
so;
how do i get my feller all the things he needs to become an upstanding employed forgeiner?
is all hope lost for maternity benifits? i would have come sooner, but circumstances have been genuinely uncooperative
i've spent all my free time bombarding every finnish gallery, museum, archive and paint-by-number-enthusiasts with my CV but they might not want to hire someone who's a walking baby bomb..
Any Advice and Information would be useful. Especially heart warming tales of heedless inpulsive emigration and What Not To Do.
Thank You!
