There’s always a country to turn to when you want out.
Moving to a foreign country isn’t easy. But when things in your neck of the woods are topsy-turvy, you may want to consider it. Especially if you’re not optimistic about the Philippines’ future under the next administration.
Become a Canuck
Canada offers several options on how to be a citizen or permanent resident. You can go there as a student or worker. You can also ask a relative who’s already a resident to sponsor you. There’s also a nifty program you can try called Express Entry.
The cost of living in Canada is relative to where you’ll be staying. It’s quite expensive, but don’t let that discourage you. You’ll earn more there, which means you can afford it.
Keep up with the Kiwis
New Zealand has free education and great healthcare, and the cost of living is reasonable. There are also many opportunities for skilled workers there. For example, if you can milk a cow, you can earn up to three times the amount you made in your home country.

The cost of living is quite expensive, but if you’ve got a good job, you’ll be fine. Or you can marry a US citizen! If you can’t find an American man (or woman), read this guide. It has tips on moving to the USA.
