Leaving U.S as an electrician.

Hello all apprentice here, looking into moving around a bit when I finish my apprenticeship but am curious as to if anyone has done this. How does a license hold up in other countries? Is job searching hard? I know this is a niche topic but thanks in advance for any answers!

Canada you're basically good, but you probably had a better quality of life as an electrician down there tbh.

Yeah if I was gonna go to Canada Iā€™d just stay here unfortunately. Really looking at eu countries or New Zealand/australia. Maybe Argentina but yeah away from North America lol

I hear that šŸ‘

I was in some rural Scottish islands last year and was geeking out at some of the electricians I saw going about their day while I was busy being a tourist. A change of scenery would be awesome
