Leaving Trinidad for good...

[hydroep]

Trinis flying out because t'ing too bad/hard.

Venez sailing in because t'ing better here.

Everything relative yes...

[vaiostation]

^^^Give de venes some time to settle, then they go realize what is what.
Soon they go realize that most people just want to advantage them.

[toyolink]

The situations outlined are really sad and for many of us informs the truth about what our country has become.
Our recovery from the demise we have found ourselves in, continues to elude us and we must fight the sense of hopelessness and anger that can become our reality.

So you saying that we should wait until things get as bad as it is in Venezuela and then fly out? It's sad but Trinidad and Tobago could be much better but according to Pandy, "politics has a morality of it's own". UWI students are usually referred as the "creme de la creme" suggesting that the best normally rises to the top, but for UWI the best is determined by academic performance. In politics it seems as though it's the best of the liars and thieves are sought after. This might work for larger developed nations but for our small "banana republic".....

I'll give my situation. 31 married, 3 month old baby. I'm a us citizen so i have the option to take my family there, but we would be basically starting from scratch. wife's law degree wont mean a thing. im basically self employed so jumping into another country would see me start from zero. We also have the option of going to canada, in fact we applied and received a permanent resident invitation which is about 80% complete. However the same situation applies, though it might be a bit worse in Canada in that they require you to have canadian work experience & education (immigrants wont have this, even though you enter the country based on education/work experience) so you then again have to start from scratch in most fields. Canada is larger than usa with the budget of California. Great high paying jobs have very high competition. even if you are the best of the best, you still have to go through their system for those jobs since almost everything is regulated, unless you wana open your own business. I have a good amount of family support in a few states in usa, wife has family support in canada. Flip side is we enjoy a certain standard of living in trinidad right now esp with tremendous family support, which we wont be able to sustain if we left. Wife has a good secure well paying job with benefits, and im not doing too bad myself, its just a shame the country is the way it is. We cant really get to enjoy things. walking on the street in florida or ontario feels SO MUCH safer than trinidad, sorry to say. I honestly love this place so im torn every morning when i wake up and i have to continually make a decision to stay or leave. Both wife and i agree that leaving would be much better for our child which we probably would end up doing. What hurts me the most is all the car projects ive been doing for years are almost completed and i wont get to enjoy them. ill have to part out or sell wayyyy under what i spent plus all that time+ energy just gone. I think thats why im so on the fence with moving.

Wonder if this guy ever left.

I good in this black country.

For folk that want to improve their education or income, they need to have a back up plan .

As we know you pay for everything abroad, even to park your car outside your own home .

I know folk that suffering for years abroad and they are stuck in the system.

Then again other folk big it up aboard ( not PNM ppl) . Abstract Poetic is catching she tun tun living in peoples basements and dreams of TT lifestyle

[agent007]

Post covid where exactly do we migrate to? Who have it nice and easy right now especially when it comes to jobs? I doubt anybody want to live in the US in these troubling times but I can see the justification if you're heading to Toronto, London, Sydney and Auckland to name a few.

[zoom rader]

I will be more than happy and feel at ease once PNM ppl migrate however they can.

I left Trinidad for good a year ago and moved to NY. Got married found a good job and living up in the north country now. Its nice here lots of open space very low crime rates no shootings or murders. Smooth roads hardly any traffic or traffic accidents or crazy drivers, a lot less corona cases than in Trinidad.

Very peaceful BLM protests and No riots here............ Canadian border is just over an hour away by car If things go crazy here.

But Life is pretty cool and laid back compared to life in the over crowded and nasty city. Plus love how I can order stuff online without worrying about if I will get overcharged this time or why I am paying tax on taxes.

My advice moving overseas no matter which country plan ahead stay away from the big cities and all will be well.

[zoom rader]

^^^ More folk should do like you bro.

I expect more taxes will come, we here live in a stupid country filled with stupid people bro.

What field are you in ? Did it require any qualifying exams ?what type of visa do you have ?

Upstate can be a very nice place to live. Not everyone does well with the cold but it was pleasantly mild when I was there this last winter.

Take a look at Glassdoor.com or Carreerbuilder.com for posted openings by region... there are many.

Your chances of getting an H1B visa in the USA will be very limited, assuming one is needed.

Not as cold as it can get in canada but yes last winter was mild.

Yeah don’t think any new work visas are being processed. If you have one and you are in the country you will get a renewal once you still have your job. I am in telecommunications field so I applied and got a job with spectrum. More people working and schooling from home or streaming more so lots of vacancies. They offer training to get you up to speed nothing hard.

The only issue is the loneliness/sense of community that you have in trinidad.

Serious question.
Anyone ever thought about moving to the likes of Indonesia or Malaysia or know anyone that has? Similar climate, low cost of living and crime, yes they are prone to some serious natural disasters and terrorism at times, plus the language barrier might be steep.
