I DID wonder why not Canada. It's got a thriving language industry that starts on the institutional plane. But I don't know how far the crime rate favours forensics.

TOPIC STARTER
@Wiiliamson.
Thank you again for your advice and the typical stereotype regarding Italians .. In fact, I already visited NY and California and I felt in love with them..obviously I tried with these areas but my dream can't become bigger..I would be grateful if I found a job there but is difficult, there is a high competion and concerning the life cost..let's move on ... See more @Wiiliamson.

With Canada, do I have to obtain a sponsorship for the visa?
@Christine. Thank you very much for your support, I appreciate it a lot. In fact, I get often discouraged, I tried with the majority of American cities and business industries but without any result..sometimes I think it's an utopia, rather than a dream. Many people told me I need a speciality.. In fact, I love criminology and forensics, both of my two translation theses tackle gunshot wounds and ballistics but I have no expertise in this sense; maybe getting a degree or a PhD is the right way but I know I'll never be good at it, like you with medicine.. My dream is the USA also for this reason..this matter is extremely developed, I found translation agencies and I proposed my CV, offering also to take translation tests as an evaluation..but nothing.
I'm trying also to examine other fields such as linguistic institutes, museums, shops, restaurants, and import-export..but always the same thing: the internship is not paid, in some cases I must have the American citizenship, and so on. Maybe I have to abandon the USA idea on carry on with UK and Canada.
@Parriot. In fact, I considered Canada just a little..in many cases I saw they need French but, apart from this, I'm stubborn about the US. But maybe I have to try with other countries. ▲ Collapse

There are many kinds of visa. But here's some general information for most cases: http://www.ci.gc.ca/english/index.asp
I'm told that sponsorship is seldom ever used, for immigration, anyway. The principle seems to be to give it a few months' try (that's why they ask for "show money") and see what comes up by way of employment. However, from what I see, by that same token, if you already had an ongoing translation practice, it would be easier, like a matter of moving an office.

I don't know about that... in fact, one of the most successful translators I know over there is Italian. And a lot of job offers from there that I get do not exactly concern French (I suppose they have enough of those). Go ahead and look for some breaks in the US in the meantime, but if you come to dead ends, remember there's this other option.

I also visited Canada. I was in Calgary (cold) and in Vancouver (wet) in winter.
In Vancouver, I have an old aquaintance.If you want I'll give you her email. Just contact me through the system. She gave me a lot of information.
If you want to emigrate to Canada, you need to pass a language exam in French/English. Canada is a lot colder than California. Canada is an immagration country.
From Vancouver to Seatac (Seatlle Tacoma) it's a day by bus.

Canada is the only country where the title of translator is protected and translation is highly regarded.
