Immigrate to Luxembourg from Canada

Immigrate to Luxembourg from Canada?
I was born in Canada and currently live in Canada. I want to live close to a loved one in Europe. A friend of mine suggested that I move to his country; Luxembourg. He said it is OK to travel there from Canada and move right in and work. OK, now that sounds great, but I want to know the fine details. What do I need to have in order to move to Luxembourg, stay there forever, work there and take class . I need to have a passport, but what else? I want to move there and never return to my country. I want to be with the woman I love.

Which language do they speak in Luxembourg

Which language do they speak in Luxembourg?
From my understanding, Luxembourg has three official languages - French, German and Luxembourgish. Which language do Luxembourgers mostly speak at home (with family and friends)? And which language do Luxembourgers mostly speak at school or at work?

Luxembourgish at home and with friends. The primary schooling used to be all done in German, as it is the language closest to the native language and it was easier for the kids to understand it. Secondary schooling used to be done more in French, while University used to be all in French, (often abroad, in Belgium.) In recent years the national language has gotten a more legal status and has gotten a much better position in teaching in school. I do not know in what percentage yet. You will find that near the German border most people will switch to German easily, in the south French is more the common language with people who do not speak the national language.

Can an American married to a German work anywhere in the European Union

Can an American married to a German work anywhere in the European Union?
I am a German citizen and just married an American citizen, presently we live in the British Virgin Islands. We are considering moving to a European country (e.g., Luxembourg) other than Germany. Is my American husband automatically entitled to work and live in the EU because he is married to a German?

I believe so. I knew an American girl in Ireland who married a Russian. They were both working in Dublin.

I have a question..why in the world leave BVI.

The answer above me is wrong. Russia is not member of the European Union. So this Russian must have a visa to work in Ireland. To answer your question can you work in anywhere in the EU. The answer is no. In some countries you have to have for example a green card to work. Remember if you because a German citizen then you can work where ever you like. Just because you are married to someone who country is a member of the EU doesn't mean you have the right to work in other EU countries

O of course!!! you just have to become a legal citizen of Germany and then yu can get any job you want and since you are from america you will probably get some respect from employers! If you went to a good college and kept up your grades you will get the job of your dreams even if you are in a different place and if you can also speak German... that is awesome! Employers love a bi-lingual lady working for them! good luck in Germany!!! and it really doesnt matter where you go in the European area just you have to be bi-lingual even if your in Italt and you only know German and English... they still respect that because since we are one of the richest country in the world they know they will get more buisness!

The answerer above me got it wrong. Only EU citizens are entitled to work anywhere in the EU. It may be easier for your husband to become German, because you are married, but that's it. Once he is German, no problem. Until then the rules of the respective country you are considering apply.

What should I wear for a week in Luxembourg in the beginning of May

What should I wear for a week in Luxembourg in the beginning of May?
I am soon off to Luxembourg. Well in a month and a half but my wardrobe is either Summer or Winter. What do you suggest I wear? I will be attending a training program. I do not need to wear suits but still have no idea what to wear? Should I pack big thick clothes or light? Jacket? Would a knee length skirt work fine? Help pls :)

it can still be cold. thick sweater for outdoors including light overcoat. indoors - its pretty normal. good heating. several light clothes would suffice as u can layer if its too cold outside. knee length - ok. bring along stockings
