  • Yes. I understand the desire for more bodies, but the world isn’t black and white, and not everyone is able to fight.

    To elaborate on my own situation, my demographics make me and my community VERY vulnerable to this administration. While the desire to help each other is there, resources are slim and everyone is struggling to sort out their own survival. A lot of the community is also disabled and reliant on others.

    Now that I’m out of that, I actually have the capacity to offer support. I’m still very connected to everyone I know and love back home, but now I have the backing of a new community that is very understanding of the situation and able to offer resources. I personally can offer travel advice, a place to crash temporarily, and a safe landing to anyone who decides to follow suit. We also have established safe houses along the way. Since we made the decision to leave, my partner and I have received nothing but love and support from both communities.

    Not everyone is a Fighter or a Paladin. Some are better at offering support from a distance.


  • Getting a work/student visa takes a lot of time so start it early. It’s generally easiest to get PR through work or study.

    But it’s only one piece of the puzzle. My partner and I spent 2 months before we moved going through everything we own and deciding what to get rid of. We got rid of about half of our stuff, anything you don’t get rid of will have to go through customs, not to mention figuring out how to physically move your stuff.

    Once you get to a new place, setting up is also its own logistical nightmare. You won’t have any credit established so getting an apartment or credit card might be difficult to start. You also need a bank account, which might have its own requirements.

    And then there’s the social part of it. I’m lucky that my community is international and I was very quickly able to find my people, but if you don’t know anyone you’re going to be very lonely until you do. Try to make some friends before you move.
