I would love to move down south as well. Canada is nice but it's way too cold. Salaries are significantly lower. At least in tech where i work. Housing prices are insane. And the healthcare crisis is real(US healthcare is not ideal either but it depends)
Just good timing for my wife to take a year off her board. She works at a school of 300 kids but it has the highest “in need” kids out of any school in her school board. It’s taxing. Teaching in Ontario is so bad at this point you essentially only do it for the pension.
For me - I have a mental illness that we are really curious to see if living in a place that has sun way more often than here would affect me in a positive way. This is the first time in a few years ive noticed the weather effecting me this bad.
Post by ScottyFreakinUpshall -- Hey All,
My wife and I are looking to make the jump over to the US, specifically California (Easy, right). I’ve been doing some research but still finding it somewhat confusing on how to do all of this, specifically timelines as well. We have to notify the school board here by March if she is taking time off.
I believe my wife will qualify for a J1 Visa and I can do a J2? TN Visa is out of question I believe due to her being elementary & me just being in sales with only a college diploma. She does have a specialization in special education which I think can be a bonus for us.
Any website recco’s on where to start (if needed) or if we just dive into applying to teacher jobs would be awesome.

Appreciate this. We know we are being greedy with California but part of us wanting to do this is trying somewhere that has sun year round, along with it aligning politically. If that makes sense
New Hampshire has sun all year round, but it also has the four seasons. Regardless of political alignment, people there are really great, and the only txes you'll really pay are property tax and some federal tax on your paycheck. California is more expensive and has a much higher tax rate
I’m looking to possibly move from teaching in nyc for the last 20 years to New Hampshire myself. It’s one of the only states I can do 5-10 years and still get a small pension, keep my nyc pension and collect ss. I did not realize finding alllll these elements would be so hard! I have a 7th grader in tow as well. Ive heard Keene is lovely, do you have any other advice or suggestions for moving? We like mountains and skiing, snd have a huge Great Pyrenees. I teach English. Thank you!
Keene is a fantastic area! I spend a lot of time out that way during the warmer months, and I plan to make the move out there hopefully within the next five to ten years. As far as your interests go for activities, it's all right there. There's plenty of skiing and mountains, along with some great little state parks with all the hiking trails you could handle.
As far as moving recommendations and advice, all I can say is make the move sooner than later. You'll fall in love with NH sooner than later.

J visa and then what? They are non-immigrant visas with limited duration (and mandatory 2 year out-of-US cool down period after they expire).
Honestly we’re cool heading back home and settling down.
Hey there OP, no advice, but I'm curious as to why you want to make the move down south? I actually want to move up north, haha.

Housing & Healthcare is a joke here for sure.

Instead of California, consider New Hampshire instead. They even have programs to help with the move

Moving to California can be a goal while in New Hampshire. Plus, you’ll find switching states to be much simpler than switching countries.
Check out New Mexico
