Emigration and immigration
Elena_lkrsh, 2021-12-09 00:35:34

Is it worth it to complete non-core education for immigration as a developer?

I'm from Belarus. I have an unfinished education in the field of psychology (1.5 years left to finish my studies). I work as a front-end developer.
I am relocating to Poland with my company, but in the next 5-7 years I would like to try other European countries, and ideally Canada, for life and work.
Does it make sense to graduate from a school that is not related to my work, will it matter, for example, when trying to immigrate to Canada or Germany?
Or does only specialized education matter, or is only work experience important at all?

To emigrate on a blue card to some countries, work experience is enough. But it happens that higher education is required, including for obtaining a simple residence permit.
In general, higher education is necessary for normal emigration.
And the most normal option is to get this higher education abroad. You don’t have to break your head how to get a visa, as a student is given a residence permit.
In the Czech Republic, there were some normal options.

As a developer, you can work from anywhere in the world without leaving your room. But if you want to work in foreign companies, and not freelance, study the legislation of the country where you are traveling. In one country, even vocational education received in another may not be recognized. The standards must match.

In a decent company in Canada, they will definitely ask about education. Further - the presence of this also goes in plus to further immigration. But:
Higher education received in the ex-Sovka causes curiosity and laughter. It is better not to advertise, especially such exotic things as the unfinished (unfinished) education of a shrink. And then the term "unfinished" means "I studied for a couple of months and left / kicked out / got tired of / ran out of money" - contains a negative connotation. We need a positive!
Or there is another trick when Zina goes to England with her father's money to study "the history of the development of fashion in the Congo in the 60s of the twentieth century" for a couple of years, and then she calls everyone that she studied History at the English University., so this thing will not work 100 pounds.
In large companies, all the tasty places are occupied + the internal situation can be difficult there (I worked at Telecom - horror!), But what kind of diploma you have is purple to everyone else - they immediately see a specialist: you don’t cheat in front-end development)
There is also a nasty nuance - this is age - the younger the better, and the spouse / ha - better without. Everything else is viewed on your LinkedIn - they immediately open it.
Good luck! + nothing is impossible

But if you are already leaving now, it turns out that there will be no opportunity to complete your studies anyway?
I don't think there's much point in holding back. Too far away, too non-core... Unless you transfer to a European university, if possible - to calm your conscience.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
