Wow , it sounds like Finland is a real ‘wonderland’ 💙❤️💙❤️ Living in NYC, you would not see young children traveling by themselves, it’s far too dangerous!! It’s nice to know that there are safe places to live.
amazing video as always. can you please do a video about how Finnish people see foreigners people . what is taboo in Finland according to Finns ? what is considered rude or acceptable or less acceptable in your country ? I'm personally find Finns culture is very impressive and unique.
Hey man and thanks for the great questions! I can write you a longer answer here later, but we could also discuss this a bit in the live stream if you want to join and ask the question there. Ill go live in 8 minutes (6:30pm EEST) on the channel. I think this would be a fun question to cover in the stream.
Hey Amitesh and best of luck with the application! I could try to arrange some kind of a subscriber meetup in Helsinki once we have been able to get rid of covid. That would be a lot of fun.
I am from germany and I think finland is awesome. In germany I would have a higher salary and could save a up a lot but still I want to move to finland. Especially because it is family friendly. In germany the working culture can be pretty tough. In some place you start at 8 and you will be home at 8 or even worse. My partner is from finland and she is missing her country. I really have to start to figure out how to get a Job there. My problem is that I only have 2 years of work experience in different fields of engineering and programming.... I still did not make up an professional identity
So what should I do? I'm still in high school, but I really want to study there, but my country is very far from Finland. And it may take a lot of capital to get there (not including starting a life), Are you Finnish? I need to hear many experiences from people outside Finland about how they went there and studied and lived.
In my opinion the finnish government did well on COVID situation because they have a small population country and they don't have alot of tourists as other countries which makes it easier to handle, and another great reason to move to finland is that they aren't chit chaty lol.
Thats one way to look at this. However, if you look at countries like Japan or New Zealand, both of which depend on tourism, they also did really well. Sure, Japan is currently experiencing a spike in cases, but NZ is one of the best countries in the world in terms of their covid response. Both the Japanese and NZ's, as well as Finnish successes in (especially in the beginning) had a lot to do with the way that the governments responded to the crisis and in the way that the citizens reacted. E.g. Finland and Japan are both similar in the way that people deal with common rules. Finns and the Japanese are both really good at following commonly accepted norms and rules - a trait that has been super helpful during 2020. On the other hand, the governments of all three countries made pretty swift decisions on closing up and restricting travel (not just tourism) but also internal travel. So id say that the, at least initial success has been a sum of a bunch of things.
Hi I'm headed to Finland soon to work and I plan to bring me my family after a year. I have children, can you give an example how cheap the daycares are? Minimum to maximum. Thank you!
Hey Divij and thanks for the question. Its impossible for me to give you any information here because this will 100% depend on how you structure your studies. Studying any degree in Finland is like a full-time job so you should expect working on school all day. However, its impossible for me to say how many hours of classes there are. There are no defined hours - again because this depends on your courses and curriculum.
As with your other question, studying in Finland is a full-time job. I cant say anything else here because this depends on the way that you structure your study plan, what kind of courses you have and how demanding those courses are. There are no specific hours that you have to sit in class. Students in Finland are super independent and no-one is going to watch over your shoulder making sure that you attend your lectures. Its all about how many hours you are willing to put in.
But, he forgot to say, before to move to Finland, you must to have a good finnish level language, Otherwise, you will have to register at the employment office and wait several months before you can receive government aid and Finnish courses and training. During the time you are waiting for the response from the employment office, you will have to live on your savings. In 98% of the jobs, they will ask you to have a good level of Finnish.
Hlw. I have a doubt to clear before applying to finland. I have completed my highschool in 2012. I dont have any academic qualification further. But now i want to pursue bachelors degree in computer science in finland. Am i eligible?
There's a ton of info for anyone wishing to study in Finland at www.studyinfinland.fi/ (Run by the Finnish National Agency for Education) Check their socials at the bottom of the page.
interesting... ty Oliver.. funny when you said Finlands a good place to "grow a child" LOL... here in Canada we would say "raise" a child.. you have excellent English.. don't take this the wrong way, you just made me laugh cutie.. P.S. just saw your first video earlier tonight n just finished #10 in a row LOL... 😉💋
We thought this would be great where I live too but when everyone moved in from elsewhere we were told to stop having our culture because it upset the incomers. They were free to follow their cultures from all over the world but we had to stop our culture. Finland should be for Finns not for everyone else or you will end up like us.
I'm all for equality. I'm in favor of the father suffering just as much pain in labor as the mother. This would be true equality. It is said that fathers have all the fun and mothers have all the pain. This would certainly entitle the father to take as much time off work for the birth of the child as the mother takes from her own job.
This is an interesting point and i have to say that i dont really have an opinion here (not educated enough on the topic to comment). However, my take on paternal leave is that this makes it much more equal for women when it comes to their career development. The idea is that both parents are allowed to spend time with their child without having to make unequal sacrifices when it comes to their careers. Its not full equality but its a step into the right direction.
Hey Oliver thanks for all information provide. I have applied for MSC in big data analytics at Arcadia university of applied science and please note that it's an one year program. All I need to know that after graduate from one year msc program can I get residence permit to work and once I get the job can I extend the residence permit? Please kind enough to take time do reply to this Thank you in advance!
Oh right so you were talking about this particular masters programme, gotcha! So after you graduate as masters, the same rules that i mentioned in the previous comment apply. If you have a job already before you graduate, you can apply for a residence permit for work. However, if you dont have a job already at graduation, you can apply for a one year residence permit 'to look for work'. These are usually granted without exceptions unless you are not fit for a residence permit (there is a list of reasons on the immigration services website). If you apply for the residence permit to look for work and you are able to find a job within that time period, you can then apply for that same residence permit for work that i mentioned before. You can find more detailed information about both of these on the immigration services website 👉 migri.fi/en/after-graduation
I did study my bachelors in Finland and still live in Finland about 8 years now. Peaceful country to live and great education system which end there. Over 95% of international student do NOT get opportunities to even have internship and if you’re thinking about getting work after your studies forget it. But in the IT sector you may find work due to the increase in jobs opportunities around the world. Paying fees here as compared to other English speaking countries with opportunities will be a good option. Truth be told. ( also CONSIDER COVID-19 pandemic)
Hey and thanks for participating in the discussion. I do agree with some parts of your comment but i have to say that unless you provide some empirical evidence about your statement that over 95% of international students do not get job opportunities (not even internships), i have to single-handedly rebuke that. I have not seen any evidence that would point towards this kind of statistic or trend. On the contrary, having worked in the recruitment field specifically specialising in young and highly educated talents (people with UAS or university backgrounds), there are more than plenty of opportunities for international students and graduates. I will not pretend for a second that it is easy to find a job in Finland as a student. However, what is important to understand is that this also applies to Finnish students as well. Still, stating that people (in general) arent able to find work in Finland after graduating is absolutely false. Sorry for sounding blunt, but i would note to any people reading this thread that unless an explicit, peer-reviewed source is cited to back up this statement, the number provided above should absolutely not be believed.
@@RoadtoFinnish TBH, so do you have any exact stats which shows that international students get even a chance of interview for employment ? This is an article on a research that I wish every international student read before coming to Finland. This research was on Yle English. yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/researcher_if_theres_a_worker_with_a_finnish_name_theyll_probably_be_hired/11026589 This is the summary; “If a white Finnish worker is available, others are pushed aside,” says Ahmad. “A labour shortage is the immigrant’s best friend.” So always pray that a Finnish candidate isn’t applying for that job unless the field of nursing, IT which most Finns don’t want the stress associated with the job. Muistat, Suomessa emme stressiä. Vitsi 😃. Let’s be honest. Unless we want me to go ahead to bring another chapter that If you’re Asian then you have a little bit of a chance over an Africans because we are the least to get employed. ( please read the article I posted as an prospect international student )
@@danielanyen8913 Hi Danat! Since you asked, I have some of the exact stats you asked, albeit they're only regional - not the entire country - and from a few years ago, when I was still working with the Unis and UASs of South-Eastern Finland. You claim "Over 95% of international student do NOT get opportunities to even have internship". This does not reflect the results we gathered. According to the data me and the team I was in gathered, around 83% of international students in the area had had a job or a paid intern position for the minimum of 2 months of that past 12 months period. I don't know if you agree, but I'd say "83% had had a job for 2 months or longer" is pretty drastic a difference to your claim of "95% don't get even an internship". I really don't know where you got that number from. You say 95%, I say 17%, which *includes* those who haven't even looked for a job.
I know I was pushing with the percentage but you have findings from the research, Could you be honest to post it here ? So everyone could read ? Thanks
@@danielanyen8913 By law, no can do. For one, it's not in a publication-ready format. While personal information in the data is near non-existent, a dedicated mind could find out information about individuals by cross-referencing other stuff. (Tom Scott has a good video about surveys and privacy - not going to look that up for you, either. It's on his channel, somewhere, I'm sure.) Second, we never asked consent for any other use than what was needed. We certainly didn't ask if we can publish the data on a youtube comment section.
Wait. Wait. These degrees are taught in English? So...like...my son, who has grown up in the US and is all, "My gosh I've got to get out of here", and who likes cold weather....he could study in Finland without knowing Finnish?
Your English is very good. One pronunciation issue that you may want to work on is the short "i." Words like "in, win, inside," etc. have the short "i" at least with the first "i." This means it should be pronounced with the short English "i" not like the long "e." Hit, not heet. Your accent is actually quite cute, but I imagine that you'd like to sound like a native speaker. I'm an instructor in the US, so my English is somewhat different that that of the language spoken in Britain. But, in all English speaking nations the short "i" is not pronounced like a long "e." This is a common issue with Spanish speakers who are learning to speak English.
The first thing you need to do before moving to Finland is to learn the language. Don't expect the Finns to bow to you and speak your language in their country. And, moreover, Finnish is unrelated to the other Nordic country languages, it is not Germanic, which even English has a lot of...think twice.

Okay okay, you persuaded me! To be honest I've been in love with Finland since I was a child, so no matter what, I'm moving there early spring!
Tervetuloa!

If I could find a job in my field, I'd be very happy to move to Finland : )
