I am Gopal. I am hailing from Chennai. As you see my profile, I am PMP with couple of implementation project experience in my hand and I have a good experience in Support projects also. I am now working in a company as a project manager in my local area Chennai. The company has a local flavor and it doesn't guide me in the right direction of shaping my project management. I don't mean that I am good/expert in project management to comment on a company and at the same time I want to inform you that I need a right career in an international work environment
My question here is
Will I get a good job abroad?
If so how and where I can apply?
If anyone wants to refer me in their good company outside India please inbox me or leave a message.
Hard question.
In Canada, they value canadian experience more than any other factors.

Sir,
I have worked previously for US and UAE clients.
I had been to UAE.
Coming to your reply, I am ready to serve in Canada as a basic fresher in project management and gain experience and stay for life long time and I see I have to crack IELTS for VISA processing in Canada, if i am not wrong.
If anyone comes forward to give me opportunity, I am ready to put the application and relocate.

Dear Gopal,
I would recommend that you first define a roadmap for yourself and use this as an input to start the relocation process. Defining the list of countries that you wish to relocate to is the first step, together with learning all details about visa requirements. Potential employers might not know the conditions that apply in hiring someone from abroad, so it is preferable that you do have this knowledge before hand.
Once this is clear, target the sector or industries of your interest. Look them up, and use formal and informal ways to apply for existing or non advertised openings. LinkedIn and Indeed are typically good starting points. If I may give you a piece of advice, do not relocate before having a solid offer.
Good luck in your search.

Solid advice Eduard!
I relocated to the US from Costa Rica about 13-14 years ago and lost the reputation I had earned throughout my career in Costa Rica. Known soft skills and established reputation doesn't easily travel with you when relocating to a different country. Once in the US, I had to work my way from entry level positions back to leadership and eventually IT. With that in mind, I would add to be prepared to take a step or two backwards in terms of career pathway and be willing to work your way up the ladder. LinkedIn wasn't as prominent when I relocated as it is now. Definitely make sure you've connected with all of your existing professional peers, vendors, management, etc. For me, the risk of relocating was eventually worth it. Best of luck, Gopal.

Gopal,
If you are interested in coming to the US, you will need to find a company that will sponsor you. You will need what is called an H1B visa. Here is a link to some information that might be helpful: https://www.path2usa.com/what-is-h1b-visa.
