> What more of a red carpet welcome do Americans need? This is a great point, which I'd counter with: marketing. Ever notice how many locations around the world advertise to come bring your business there? Or holiday/vacation there? Same idea. |

France made a very public appeal to climate scientists. [1]

Anecdotal evidence I know, but almost all of my friends in Canada have or want to visit Amsterdam. But while they're enjoying pot brownies and the red light district, Amsterdam has many startups who will hire English speaking employees.
Or the people who really want to visit Oktoberfest. Munich also has many firms willing to hire English speakers with the right qualifications.
I will grant that perhaps Europe can do a better (more obvious) job of appealing to North Americans who want to immigrate. Personally I found it extremely easy to immigrate from Canada to Europe (no family ties to gain Eau citizenship), though I had already finished studying.
Another easy option that is often overlooked is the Working Holiday visa. It's quite easy to obtain and allows someone under 35 to work and travel between 6-12 months in many EU countries.
