i wish this was true but when i read the immigration laws of norway even those that apply to me as an american it's really loving dumb, you have to bring 12 grand cash, have a work or student visa first which everyone says no one will give me, and then if you have all that you get a janitor job and can't afford 50 dollar pizzas or 50 dollar bottom shelf liquor

Well, you know any sane country would prefer to take in immigrants that are actually kind of useful.

Also, norway has always had a pretty restrictive immigration policy, though we do our share of quota refugees and stuff as well (though I think both Sweden have Denmark have taken in many more in relation to population than we have).

fun thing about norway is that swedes are our largest population of immigrants, who come here to work because sweden actually is pretty lovely when it comes to employment. they mostly do lower tier service jobs like bartending, waiting, and reception work.

some might if they live close to the border. but there are swedes all over the country really. though mostly in oslo. that's about a 3 hour car trip i think to get to svinesund. it'll end up costing you quite a bit in gas, though i think there are buses set up in østfold to get you cheaply to sweden. anyway there's nothing stopping norwegians living in the same place from doing the same thing, but most don't because of travel expenses and convenience at just going down to the local store.

swedes can easily come and go because they are in schengen. that's where your luck runs out.

e: it's either that or have education which can be useful for a job in the oil industry. I think still alot of the workers there are English and American as they were at the start when English and American oil companies were contracted to explore the north sea for oil. then alot of the workers were kept on when the state nationalized the oil reserves, so that their expertise could be utilized.

its almost impossible for foreigners, even white, to find decent jobs in finland unless you have a very specific skill or degree. I dated an american with two degrees (medical administration and english) and she sent over 80 applications in 6 months and didnt even get a single interview. Maybe it was the brown sounding lastname though.

brown = lightly tanned. i have a finnish friend who has dark curly hair and brown eyes and he was called a quarter-friend of the family (varttineekeri) for most of his childhood.

then i have a friend whos half tansanian so basically black and he regularily gets denied access to bars and nightclubs. dudes been born here, lived here all his life and often gets treated like poo poo because of the colour of his skin.
