Montréal has long been renowned for its gorgeous architecture and charming downtown district, and in the modern era, this storied Canadian city is developing one of the most impressive cocktail scenes in all the nation. While visitors can stumble upon a wealth of polished lounges and cozy speakeasies during a stroll across Old Montréal, the 2023 North America’s 50 Best Bars list has shined a light on specific destinations like Atwater Cocktail Club and Cloakroom—and while the city may not be known worldwide for its stellar cocktail scene, this designation comes as no surprise to local industry professionals.
5 Ways Americans Can Move To Norway In 2024
15.11.2023 - 14:44 / forbes.com
Whether driven by a desire to reconnect with their heritage or seeking a higher standard of living, Americans continue to look towards Norway to chase the Scandinavian dream.
Moving to Norway is relatively straightforward for citizens of many European countries because of EU freedom of movement rules. Although Norway isn't an EU member, its membership of the European Economic Area (EEA) opens up this possibility.
For American citizens, the process is more difficult, but it's far from impossible. According to official Statistics Norway data, more than 10,000 American citizens lived in Norway as of March 2023. Of those, approximately one-quarter live in the capital city, Oslo.

While there are always exceptions, to realistically receive a job offer as an American, you will need to be working in an industry suffering a workforce shortage in Norway, or have significant skills and/or a substantial profile in your industry.
Unlike many popular “work abroad” locations, native English language ability is not much of an advantage, as all Norwegians of working age are fluent in English to varying degrees.
This also rules out much of the ‘teaching English as a foreign language’ market that is not so big in Norway. That being said, international schools are popular, and teachers of other subjects are sought from around the world.
One possible route in to Norway is if you already work for a global company with operations in Norway. This is especially relevant in the oil and gas, energy, ICT, and maritime industries. In these circumstances, putting your name forward for an internal transfer is likely to be your easiest route.
Once you have experience working in Norway on your resume, it will become easier to find other positions.
The advantage in a transfer within an international company is that in the majority of
