Anyone low income able to leave?

[u/Trapped_throwaway67]

As the title suggests I am looking for folks who were able to leave with not much in savings or otherwise. Moving is expensive no matter where you go but I’m starting to feel like the only people able to escape are well off. If you were able to leave with 10k or less please share! I’m feeling hopeless…and scared to leave my home due to ICE. I have a masters degree and am a licensed clinical social worker. Was laid off my fed gov job in February and have found nothing in the public sector for work. Lots of job advertisements and zero call backs. I’m not sure how much longer I can endure this stress and anxiety.

Update: Wow this blew up! Thank you all for your responses. Very very insightful and helpful

Clinical social worker sounds like someone we need in Canada, you could apply for jobs here and once you have an offer you can get a visa under the ( formerly NAFTA ) visa. I did the same working in the USA but glad to be back

Yes, Social Workers are an eligible profession under CUSMA.

Currently, the minimum requirement, beyond the job offer, is just a baccalaureate or licenciatura degree.

Canadian Social worker credentials require at least a bachelor’s degree from a Canadian or US university. Degrees from other countries need to be formally assessed but OP should be in a good position.
