Canadian MSW Interested in Moving to Norway

New Topic Newest First

I am 24 year old Canadian whose heart is in Norway - I've been there a total of 5 times in the last 2 years.

I'm currently finishing up a Masters of Social Work degree in Ottawa and would like to relocate to Norway afterwards. I'm interested in social policy, sexual health and psychotherapy. I know immigration/citizenship policies aren't easy to navigate and I was hoping to have some help to understand what my options are. Also, if anyone has any knowledge of what the possible career opportunities for MSWs look like in Norway that would also help.

I am currently working on learning Norwegian.

I was also considering the option of completeing a second masters degree in European studies but I'm not sure how beneficial this will be to my job hunt.

Any help would be really appreciated as this is an interest I have had for a while now. I should also say that I have some Norwegian friends to welcome me - so I will have some form of a social circle!

Takk!

Alex
