This question is asked as if there is an obvious destination. Where do I move? Europe/UK isn't exactly killing it lately, so that's out. That leaves Australia and NZ for English-speajing countries, but I know nothing about them. I could move to Japan since I know some Japanese, but the Japanese are not well-known to be accepting of foreigners. The PM is literally trying to limit immigration. So where should I be moving as an American?

Not exactly easy to immigrate to, as you can see from the comment about CRS scores

Not great, mostly because we don't have close enough family in Canada. They're all too many branches out on the family tree to count.

I might have filled things in wrong since I did it quickly, but it's fun to see how governments try to balance different kinds of immigrations needs and skills.

No longer offer points for specialty job skills? Damn.

Where does it say that? As far as I can tell it's just job offers.

But yes, our housing market got fucked so we're scaling immigration back for a few years. Hopefully we get back to it afterwards, since from our perspective it's free population, and obviously it's good for the immigrants.

My spouse and I are both well-educated professionals, but it would help if we spoke French
