Wondering if anyone can give me some info on moving to Germany without a job offer. I have a boyfriend in the Military that will be posted in Germany. I am a Canadian citizen and would like to take up work after arriving in Germany. What steps to I need to take? Visa, working visa? Please advise.
-Thank You

Hi Tana,

As a Canadian Citizen, you may travel to Germany visa-free and live there up to three months. During this time, you might look for a job. If you find a prospective employer who is willing to offer you a preliminary contract, you could apply for a German work permit. But please be advised that a work permit application can only be made with a written job offer / preliminary employment contract.

Furthermore, the employment office in Germany will examine whether or not it is possible to fill the position that you apply for with a German before granting your work permit.

After you would have found a prospective employer in Germany, feel free to contact us if you wish to be assisted in your German work permit application.

Best regards
