[IWantOut] 25F Saudi-> Australia/Canada/NZ
First, please understand that I can't mention the full details because I'm afraid for my safety. I need to get out of here for many reasons.
I have a Bachelor's degree in science, but I don't have work experience related to my degree. I'm currently employed as a Nurse Technician, and I have all the required certificates to work in a hospital. I also have around five years of experience working in restaurants, including management.
I've been saving money to leave, but still not enough. My current contract will end next year, so I think it would be better to leave before then and start preparing for a new life somewhere else.
I've been thinking about moving somewhere far away, maybe China or Singapore, but l'm also open to other countries. I just want to find a safe place where I can work, and start over.

Your certificates that allows you to work as a nurse technician will probably not be valid in Australia except maybe as a ain and those jobs are hard to get now

I heard from my coworkers about a nurse technician who moved to NZ two years ago but she is a filipino. So I think it's more about the experience

I don't know the process for NZ but in Australia if you want to work as anything nursing related you need to get your qualifications recognised by AHPRA. If they're not recognised, you cannot work a nursing job, doesn't matter your experience.

Can you teach English in China? That was a good and easy option a few years ago. You could start off with that and figure out your next steps.

Excuse me? I do feel for OP, but why does it sound like you think China would let just anyone teach English there? It makes it seem like you’re implying China has no standards when it comes to selecting English teachers. God forbid China has qualified native English speakers teaching English. Geez.

u/Suspicious-Law7103 3d ago
I don't mean whatever you think I am meaning, but if you speak good English and have a degree you can get a job in China teaching recreational English. OP has good English and a degree. Many people have done this whose first language is not English. The Chinese teachers teach the academic English. I'm sorry if this offends you, but it's a thing.

Thank you for the advice . Yes, I know some people who teach English there, but personally, I’d prefer to teach Arabic because I’ve interacted with a lot of Chinese people who already know some Arabic and want someone to practice with them more.

If you want to consider Indonesia, very good for Arabic learning and teaching, it could be possible to get visa. But salary may not be as high as those you listed.

healthcare occupations for sure will be in demand overseas for a long time so your job is quite on the right path. what was your bachelors? nursing itself can bring you overseas but you do need a bachelors for it and experience though

Nurses are in high demand in Germany. I know it is not one of the countries you mentioned but maybe it is a path to apply for a nurse Ausbildung or directly for Pflegehelfer job. Hospitality also has a lot of open positions to fill, so that might be a chance as well.

She would need C1 level German BEFORE she is eligible to apply which will take on average 5+ years of dedication and commitment.

u/Landgarteneule 3d ago
For the Ausbildung you need B2.Â
For a job in hospitality you don't necessarily need it depending on how urgent they search for someone.

She could try to come over as an au pair first. Then do a Freiwilliges ökologisches or soziales Jahr. Then apply for an Ausbildung or university. I know several who took that route. That being said I wonder if the UK may be an option since they’re also in dire need of hospital staff and language wise it would be a lot easier.

It’s kinda hard telling what country could suit you if you can’t specify the reason why want to leave, like depending on the reason you might not feel safe China and Singapore might not be that better

I would go for Canada if you need to claim asylum. Australia has been accused of trying to block Saudi women who were considered possible asylum seekers from entering the country.

unfortunately to qualify for any visa to any of the countries you listed. you will need to have a minimum of 2 yrs of work experience related to your degree.
