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.
:-)
