Don't see why your age would be a problem for immigration. For many western countries, academic/professional qualifications and financial capability (especially if applying for investor visa) matter more. I believe Canada also has a points system where you can apply to immigrate based on your qualifications without necessarily having a job lined up.

Why do you want to emigrate from Brazil? Listing some reasons would enable people to give you better country suggestions.

Mentioning your technical skills here and including some type of contact info in your profile would also be useful for anyone interested in contacting you in regards to employment.

Thanks for replying.

I decided in this question to focus on what I regard as obstacles to enter on another countries or finding a job. That's why I avoided talking too much about myself professionally.

The reasons I want to emmitgrate are basically the same as the ones this guy described: http://amatarazzo.tumblr.com/post/79624842882/bye-bye-brazil.... I disagree on some views, but he is almost 100% correct.

On my skills, I prefer not to talk about this now, as I'm interested on understanding how the process would work. I would say I've been in the workforce for more than 12 years, and have done a little of a lot of things.

Thank you again.

That's the wrong approach. In most countries you'll need a job before getting a visa, so focus on job market research beforehand, then check the visa obstacles.

Unless, of course, you don't need a job because you have (loads of) funds to apply for a entrepreneur kinda of visa.

If you have never lived outside your own country, I suggest you write down a list of questions you might have and then ask them around. You might have better changes to get them answered that way, instead of generic stuff. Immigration is highly subjective, by which I mean it depends a lot in people's particular circumstances as much as in foreign laws.
