Hey expats,
after I finish college and gettimg some work experience I am considering moving to CZ as a mech engineering technologist, I am a Ukrainian Russian speaker so that should help in learning the language.
Any experiences with moving to Czech Republic as a 1st gen Canadian with Ukrainian/Russian roots and who know those languages?
Canada has a huge Ukrainian/Russian diaspora.
Do you have a Ukrainian passport or can you get one? I’m an American that lives in Prague and married to a Ukrainian (from Kherson), my wife has a defense visa. You might be able to get a defense visa if you can get a Ukrainian passport. If you can’t get a Ukrainian passport then look into a zivno visa as just a foot in the door. As far as the language, you’re right because my wife has taken 2 classes and is currently at a B1 level. There’s a fair amount of similarities between Czech and Ukrainian. Good luck and ignore the people here that don’t know what they’re talking about. Any other questions please reach out.
Don’t have one, but I can, never heard of a defence visa tho.
