No, Portuguese nationality does not mean you can emigrate to Canada to work. You would have to apply for a visa, and you can read more about this on their official site here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp Having Portuguese nationality means you are free to seek work in any of the EU member countries, but Canada is not in the EU (or even Europe) so this makes no difference.

Bla bla is right. If you want to live and work in Canada you must have a visa. Similar in the States. You must obtain a visa for student or work but visas are just for a temporary time. You may also live in the States for about three or six months, you are not allowed to work in this country when you are here. You have to go back to Portugal after this time. If you want to live and work in the United States as a permanent resident, it now takes longer, about ten years wait for your green card. Now that we have a new president, our immigration laws probably will be changing. Good luck

No you cannot, residency in Portugal is for Portugal only.

In other parts of the EU, laws that apply to foreign nationals will apply to you.

Yes, you will be just fine. The only thing that might be harder is to get a job but you be alright especially because you actually know someone here. People are friendly and welcoming and you will be right at home ;) Besides, Porto is a lovely place :)

I think it would be okay, it is a very cosmopolitan place to live now.

Portugal is an EU country....you will need a residence permit to live in Portugal as well as a work permit to work in the EU. That may or may not be easy to get. First comes the job though.....If you have someone who is hiring you in Portugal then if they can show you as a prospective employee to the govt. office then you can apply for resident permit/ID card. If you are going to be self-employed then that is a different matter and I can't help you there. I will say that it is very easy to come and go from the EU if you are from the USA (I assume that is where you are) since you have an automatic three-month tourist visa upon arrival. It is even easy to work illegally but that is for laborer's work and I bet with real estate that wouldn't be possible. Basic advice: Get hired by someone and the rest comes easily. Good luck!

Well, i don't know if you speak portuguese, but if you don't you should go to Algarve because it will be easier for you since most of wealthy turists go there. But the market now is very bad, i wouldn't advise you to come with the present economical conditions.

I agree that the current work climate is really not good in Portugal. However a good place to look for the occasional job ad is in the English language papers, the Portugal News and the Algarve Resident, both of which are available online. Learn Portuguese now. The only jobs available to you if you can only speak English will be low end commission based jobs. Ben at http://www.movingtoportugal.org
