New members of the Denmark forum, introduce yourselves here - 2021

Hi everyone,

I'm Neil, I'm moving with my wife to Aalborg in March. I'm currently in Montreal but I'm British and she's American. We're moving lock stock and barrel to a country that we've never visited (I went to Legoland in Billund when I was 11 but that was 32 years ago so I don't really count that as all I remember is finding a football on the street and a car backfiring and my dad thinking we were being shot at).

I expect I'll have a lot of questions as we get closer to the date, but I'll post them on the forum where it makes sense to.

Moving back across the Atlantic in a pandemic... in the back end (and worst bit) of winter in Canada... sure, why not?

Hello everyone.

My name is Lucas. I live in Malmö. I am working in a company which has online underwear store. I have been working from Sweden for 10 months now. But they are encouraging me to move to Denmark, Helsingør. They are saying that I should work in their office there. Malmö is not that far from Helsingør so I am thinking that idea is not that bad. Of course I should wait at least a month for Covid-19 situation to get better. I hope to get answers in this forum about living in Denmark.

Hello Neil & Lucas,

Welcome to Expat.com

Thank you for introducing yourselves and sharing your future plans in Denmark with the community.

Do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have by creating new threads on the Denmark forum.

Our members will gladly help you.

Since both of you are in the early stages of planning your move, looking through the Living in Denmark guide can also be a good way to get started on doing some research and gathering information to help facilitate it. I would strongly recommend that you do so. 

Best of luck,

Diksha

Hi,
I'm Flore. I'm French and I've been living in Denmark for 3 years already. Before that I was in London. I'm joining this forum because it's becoming clear to me that as a long-term expat I have to figure out pension and banking questions that feel complicated, and that I've been sweeping under the carpet. I am hoping to learn from other expats' experience.

Hello fantastic_flore,

Since you are looking for information about international schools, I would advice you to create a new thread on the Denmark forum for more visibility.

For the accommodation part, you could create an advert with all the required criteria such a pet friendly in the Housing in Denmark section.

Hello everyone. My name is Susan Munangagwa. I am a retired nurse living in Zimbabwe. I am 61 years old. I would like to live and work in Denmark for a while.

Hello everyone,

I'm Mir from Germany and going to be living in Hillerød from November on. I am moving to Denmark to be with my boyfriend and fortunately, I'm able to keep my remote job in Germany until March. This is something I am extremely grateful for, since finding a job in Denmark in my field of work (teaching) is impossible without speaking Danish. I would, however, love to find a job in Denmark as it would help me learn the language and to integrate better. Any advice on how to find a job when your Danish is at Bagedyst-with-subtitles-level would be highly appreciated, I tried at over a hundred places so far (I wish I was joking). But overall I think that Denmark is a beautiful place and I'm looking forward to living here

Hello Mir,

Welcome to Expat.com

I hope there are work opportunities still waiting to be found, and that it won't be too long before you secure a job in Hillerød.   

To improve your chances of finding a job, please go ahead and start a new thread on the Denmark forum to ask for advice.

Good luck,

Hiiiiii how are you good morning

You're going to leave Canada!

I would think twice about it. If you are basing your decision on what you have read or seen on the TV I would question your reasoning. The world has been brainwashed into believing that all the Scandinavian countries are the best in the world. Sorry, they are not. I will not waste time telling you about the problems a foreigner can experience here, but if you were up to date on Danish politics, race relations, and the history of the country you might think twice.
Some years ago the American ambassador was interviewed by the press on his last day in Denmark. He said that Danes were 50 to 70 years behind the times when it came to integration. I was the picture editor on a national daily newspaper here and can talk for hours on all the negative and critical things that never got published. Finally, I will just leave you with this, I am English born and bred, but my surname is Polish and that has been the source of countless racist experiences.

I wish you luck.

Julian Radzik.

Please email me, I would like to pick your brain about a few things.  ***
Secondly... I'm a born and raised Canadian and trust me... ALOT of people are leaving Canada because it's rapidly becoming a Communist country.  Cost of living has gone up about 200% in the last 3 years alone. The Trudeau government has put Canada 1.7 trillion$ in debt in the last 5 years.  It's getting VERY VERY bad here

You cannot write your email address here for security reasons, so any questions will have to be written here.

Hi everyone,

I would kindly like to ask for your help to guide me.

I have 25 years of expertise in top global FMCG companies, climbing up the career ladders vertically. You can check my Linkedin profile for details.

I am currently looking for an opportunity in Scandinavian countries, especially in Denmark and Sweden. I don't have a current valid working visa but I can apply on my own costs.

Applying through Linkedin job postings does not seem to work as I can see. Should I better get an outplacement consultancy?

Looking forward to getting your advices. I have also attached my resume.

Kind regards,
Cem

Can anyone explain me, how a Non-EU person whose job applications are always refused because of not having work permit can get a work permit without having a job in Denmark?

This is totally viscious circle. You can not get a work permit without a job and without a work permit there is totally no way you can get a job.

No one could explained how but I am sure there is someone out with the light. 

Kind regards,
Cem

A lot of employers will rather employ Danish citizens and EU citizens than people outside the EU because they do not need to do any paperwork, i.e. applying for work visas.
You just keep on trying and hope for luck.

Thank you for the super fast reply. It would be better to have the same chance and same equal conditions but as I could understand, there is not. I can neither say there is discrimination nor equality.

Wish I could tell hiring managers that I could deal and pay for all the paper work and work permit processes.

Anyway, your help is really appreciated, thank you.

Cem
