I got married with a Finnish woman 12 years ago.
I'm spanish(so,EU)was born in spain from swiss mother and english father(it doesn't matter).
2 years ago,due the situation in Spain,we decide to move to Finland.
I'm working in IT and I got some kind of an integration plan.The integration plan is intended for refugee an other tipe of immigrants.
So I haven't got this integration plan, but as married with Finnish citizen and she is a return migrant,i have full right as Finnish Have.
It means Kela card after 5 weeks,language course and vacational school(payed from Kela) and payed trayning.
I don't speak well Finnish,my level is 2 on 5 and I got a well salaried job after 14 month.
Yes 14 month without job treated as Finnish means 14 month of salaried language course and 14 monts of pension.
As married with Finnish citizen you have full rigth as your wife has,since she will be treated as return migrant.
Take a look in Kela web page.

Better to have oppressing government than depressing society.

We are planning to move somewere:Canada or Australia.
Here the society is SO depressing.

Why don't you move before you get the handouts, would make the society much happier.

No,there's no way to make this society much happier.

As a fellow Canadian in Suomi, you will spend your first year learning the language, then think about a job.
The weather is not bad and the darkness is not so dramatic as others say. Try living in Yellowknife in the NWT, haven't experienced -45 C yet here in Helsinki.
Canada has a great economy right now, so if you want to be employed and have money for vacations and such, stay in Canada.

And if someone has not mentioned already, apply for the RP via the embassy before going!

I'd say for a Canadian it would be like moving to Quebec ... friendly natives, easy language

[Pursuivant]

For me, there's no way I'd be able to hack living in the culture-less backwoods of the northern parts of my native land and the cities are just too damned expensive.

Exactly why I left Finland

[Rick1]

Not much comfort in Finnish language no.Had a Finn telling me that my language was not pretty to speak, I replied yes that is why I escaped to Finnish; a fluent almost singing type of language which can be spoken without opening your mouth.
