If you emigrate at a younger age, you will get to enjoy more of the advantages e.g. cheaper Uni tuition for your children.
My friends emigrated because they wanted a quality of life you can't find in Spore. No reservist. Affordable car ownership, affordable homes,...

Actually you don't need to work so hard in places like Canada. You don't even need a University degree to get a decent paying job. There are many alternative vocation training places e.g. their polys.

I've worked with angmos & compared to Sporeans they are more easy going & laid back. So if a job requires long hours with little pay, you won't get much competition from them because they will avoid applying for those jobs

As a Canadian you have a choice of working anywhere in Canada e.g. Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton,.. and in the USA. Canada signed a Free Trade Agreement that allows Canadians to work there.

Bottom line. Many hard working Sporeans & foreign talent from PRC China, Philippines, India,... want to emigrate to a 1st world country. What you do when you get there is your business but you do get a fairer overall package than Spore.

97% will consider leaving for career development.
An overwhelming majority or 97% of Singaporean job seekers will consider leaving Singapore to advance their careers, a poll by recruiting firm Hays revealed.
The survey showed that 85% of respondents would leave for better job opportunities, career development or exposure, while 12% would leave for lifestyle factors. Just 3% would not consider leaving Singapore to work overseas.
“The opportunity to gain highly valued international experience is the number one factor driving local talent overseas,” said Christine Wright, Managing Director of Hays in Asia.
She noted that employers increasingly value local talent with international experience and an international mindset. Candidates with overseas experience are even more highly valued than expatriates since they combine their Westernised way of thinking and experience of how business is done overseas with local cultural understanding.
“With an increasing number of MNCs establishing or expanding their regional offices here, demand for local talent with global business experience and acumen will only continue to increase,” she said.
