In Canada I get 8 weeks vacation plus unlimited sick days plus 1-2 weeks at Christmas

One of the things that wasn't too high up on my complaints but I have the opportunity to complain now about: I had a serious plan ready to apply to immigrate to Canada. I'm in Software, I was learning French, financially sound and healthier.

Then my ex wife fucks a dude I don't know and of course we already have a kid. No more going to Canadia.

What were you planning do in Canada? I'm only lucky to be where I am thanks to a lot of generational wealth and family connections which gave me an edge over most people.

Most newcomers to Canada really struggle and often don't make it.

Sorry to hear about your ex bro. Going through a divorce myself right now, thankfully no kids.

Ah, well, blessing in disguise then. For a good chunk of time software engineers were in demand. For whatever reason, I can't remember if it was embedded or application level though.
