Hi all.
I am a 22 year old, South African male Currently working as a Fashion and Lifestyle photographer In Cape Town.
I Grew up In Cape Town and have been living here my whole life, And now I am craving a change. The work here as a photographer is pretty Slow and outdated Compared to other countries. I have thought about moving countries for a while now and Canada has been top of the list.
My girlfriend of 4 years is also very keen on the idea. She is currently Doing her second year in Human Resources through UNISA and has the advantage of studying abroad. I on the other hand only have a diploma in photography but wish to Work and maybe study marketing when or if I arrive in Canada. Both our families are very supportive of us and are willing to fund the first few months of our move (with intent of paying it back).
Now my question is.
What is life on that side of the world from a fellow South Africans point of view?
How difficult is it finding work there compared to South Africa?
( I have had some pretty Tedious jobs, so dont mind getting my hands dirty)
Would we be able to live on minimum wage or entry level jobs until something better is found?
( I know I wont just land a photography job straight away so anything will do)
How is living there as a young adventurous adult?
Hope to hear some good things!
Matt
