I appreciate your perspective, from having lived DAFT experience.

>We're currently applying for our first visa renewal. Next time we'll be elligible for PR.

Good luck (shoe-in, correct?)! As PRs, would you still then need to remain self-employed (forever)?

>electrician shortage

I've run my own residential electric shop, on/off for two decades, but eventually want to get into industrial controls.

Definitely need to look into licensing/reciprocity.

>It really seems like you could just come over and have a lot of work.

Sidework would be an eventual hustle, but honestly I'd have to learn about local wiring practices and wouldn't want to be independant in a new AHJ/system. If I dafted it'd be in an adjacent careerpath. I'm honestly looking into engineering programs, abroad (possibly pre-DAFT).

>couldn't imagine living anywhere so flat and so far from forests / mountains

It's raining here in Appalachia. Soft little pitterpatters upon my tin roof.

Thanks for chatting. I've bookmarked your website for further inspiration =D
