It's not that much more of a challenge to find a job online before you move to that country. That's how I moved to the USA originally and then moved to Taiwan.

If you're a software engineer, apply for a FAANG or a Unicorn startup. Ideally, a FAANG company. Their HR department will handle this all for you. The big companies all have immigration lawyers on staff who do everything for you. The challenging part is grinding leetcode to pass the interview, that's it.

Going from Denmark to the USA by getting a job offer at Microsoft or Google takes work, but it's very straightforward. Just like how getting a six-pack takes work but is straightforward (need to go to the gym every day and eat broccoli). You grind leetcode, line up 8-10 interviews, fail 7, and pass 3.

Now, if you don't WANT to move to the USA and WANT to move to Canada because of family/life reasons, that's fine too! I ended up choosing to move to Taiwan, I'm sacrificing some career opportunities but I don't really care at this point in my life shrug.
