Hello all,
This seems far fetched but it can't hurt to try.
I am Canadian and was living in Mauritius for half a year last year to this Spring.
I'm now back in Canada and I sincerely regret coming back.
My time in Mauritius was the best time of my life-literally everything about it.
I know many Mauritians want to come to Canada but me...I want to go to Mauritius. Those of you that live there likely understand exactly what I mean.
The big problem is that its difficult to find a job there and Im not sure how smart it would be to buy a $2000 plane ticket and just go there hoping to find a job knowing how unrealistic that is.
I speak English, French and, when I get the opportunity, try to speak Creole...mo essai pratiker kan mo trouv en Moricien...hehe
Anyway...I know there are all sorts of rules and regulations regarding a work permit, etc. so that's yet another reason I can't pack up my stuff here and just hop on a plane to Mauritius with no plan...not to mention the salaries are quite low unless you are super super qualified (one day I will be but at this point in my life...I'm still young :p)
I'vs checked out all the job sites, I remember certain job forums, etc. that I saw on billboards driving around the island and I've seen them all-very disheartening. I'm on the verge on giving up my dream of going back to Paradise but I thought I'd throw out my last line on Expat.com because...when I was living there, I met some of the most incredible people through this site. Let's see if there's any other luck to be found.
:-)

Hi ayesha87!
Maybe you could tell us more about yourself! Are you working, studying? In what field? What are your experiences?
These could help in guiding you i guess!
Anyway you shouldn't give up and have a look at jobsites regularly.

Armand,
Great to hear from you and thanks-your message made me smile widely 
I will bookmark those sites but I have been on them several times since moving back and...as I said, I find them quite sad.
But I like your positivism and won't give up just yet!
To answer your questions:
I was in Mauritius doing an internship in the PR department of MITD (former IVTB) in Phoenix...I won't go into details in a public forum (as I have first-hand experience in knowing just how small that island is-and how gossipy!) but let's just say my experience in Mauritius was...more positive on a personal and social level than it was on a career level...and we'll leave it at that for now! 
That was definitely a one-time thing though, as it was a program through the Canadian government that sent myself and the other intern and you are only allowed to participate in the program once.
I have my undergrad in International Studies and French and a post-graduate certificate in Corporate Communications and Public Relations, both from schools here in Toronto.
Work-wise, I tend to stick to non-profit organizations which I know is a huge limitation in Mauritius but I'm quite open to exploring the 'corporate' world, as well...whatever will get me "home" 
Currently I'm starting up the communications in a really cool social and community agency in the "ghetto" of Toronto, and this contract ends in December at which point...I want to leave Canada again! Maybe to Mauritius? 
hey im sure if u try to look for a job u will definitely find it so just stay positive about it (Law of Attraction) so just try try n try.
And Armand has already told you about some of the sites where to look
