I've been looking forward to more details about this program emerging seeing that I'm a french-speaking francophile who recently made a transition to a career in programming.
The minimum education requirement being a Master's degree is quite disappointing. I fear they are making the same mistake as Japan when the latter introduced their points-based immigration system that requires you to be fluent in Japanese with a Master's degree and published research, making far above the salary any Japanese worker would make in the same position.
France isn't exactly an easy country to immigrate to. I was toying with the idea of doing a Master's earlier this year; this might be the motivation I need to get it done now.
- madeofpalk 9y agoThe US has a very similar requirement for their visa (I'm specifically referring to E3, which is the H1B for Australians) which only lets in 'skilled' people, defined by a university degree (or 3 years of work experience for every 1 year of degree, so a total of 9-12 years). It was pretty disheartening to get a job offer from a big tech firm in New York only to have any chances shot down because of visa...
- Danihan 9y agoAt least it's only a 4-year degree though.
- aussiegeek 9y agoAustralian degrees are typically three years
- realusername 9y agoIn France, 4-year degrees do not exist so it counts as a Bachelor.
