When I was in Korea, I had worked in online game development company for about 4 years.
and I quit the company last the end of the year , I decided that I will study english in Canada.

so I got a student permin now. I'm studying English in ESL,Canada
I came in Canada 4 months ago.

    Instead of posting your facebook. Post a link to your portfolio. In my strong opinion, no one wants to see your facebook profile, as getting to know you will be mostly in your interview with a studio. Prospective employers are instead highly interested in viewing your work and your CV.

    This.

    Also, it has nothing to do with your english skills but english is essential in NA business and its ethics so must learn and review your stuff thoroughly before posting around. Show coolness in your attitude and the portfolio is a must like A-Train stated.

    These three things will get you started. Also you should look in to the experienced game interviews you can find on the net.

    for guide on portfolios. Check out the sketch book section of this website. It has the great props and 3d models and 2d sketches.

    My Honest Opinion.

    Good luck

    There are a few things to figure out though.

    Like for the states, if you are a foreigner on a work permit, but get fired, you cannot just switch companies. If you find another company thats willing to hire, they need to request a NEW work permit for you, and in the mean time you are probably forced to leave.

    So figure out if you can go from a study visa to work permit, or that you have to follow a set of rules. Canada should be easier in this then the states,
