I'm a Canadian Citizen, I lived in Vancouver for 7 years and worked there as an architectural designer for 4 years. After that I decided to move to Toronto and tried to change my major to tech field, so I did a bootcamp for software engineering.
Meanwhile I applied for so many different jobs architecture, marketing, sales, restaurants, retail.... and I ended up after almost a year and half getting a retail job with minimum wage. I currently lost most of my self confidence and I feel useless as a lot of recruiters ghost you or you do an interview and you do not get any responses back or you get rejected. I did a voluteering Wordpress website design for some foundation and after that I only got one paid project for website design through Linkedin but that is not permanent and the client message me once in a while for his project.
I feel like I am loosing all my skills and forgetting what I've learned already in architecture and tech and if I stay in Canada there would be no future for me. I am 31 years old and I have limited time for applying for working holiday visa. I was thinking to apply one of these countries: Portugal, Australia, Switzerland, or any other country which there would be a future for me. if anyone of you applied for working holiday visa I would love to hear about your experience and if you are currently living there what do you think I should do? because I am very traumatized from moving to Toronto and I do not wanna do the same mistake. Thanks!
