Hi,

As the title says, I just moved to Norway and might lose my job because the company I work for is in crisis, we lose a significant amount of revenue because we lose some projects that kept us running for a while (I work for oil and gas). The problem is: I am someone who came here on a visa, and I have a very specific job title and I am scared I won't be able to find a new role within time.

I have absolutely no conditions to come back to my home country as I spent all of my savings betting on this opportunity, and I don't even have where to go back because my parents sold our house and now live in a farm - in the most countryside part of the country, pretty much the middle of nowhere. If I come back, I have nowhere to stay near any jobs, nor do I have money to rebuild life (once again, since I arrived here just in February).

I know that Norway has NAV, but I wonder how much they can help foreigner? And how strict would be UDI with a new job title if I found another role?

I started building a life here, and now I am terribly lost. We will have a meeting on Tuesday to discuss next steps, but I don't know for how long I can keep the employments. I don't even know why the company brought me here in the first place if there was such a risk; I had a good life back home, had a support system and now have nothing.

Hi guys,

I recently have been wondering if there is any way to import or buy books from abroad? Since moving here, most of the media I consume are either in Norwegian or English, and so is most of my work day and personal life, and even though my fiancé is learning my native language, there is a limited vocabulary I can use with him. Because of that combined, I've been noticing my vocabulary in my native language becoming a bit worse, I don't feel as articulated speaking it as I was (and I think this is for sure due to lack of exposure lately). So, I've been meaning to get more technical books to not lose its touch, but of course can't find it anywhere.

Is there any website we can order import books? I saw Amazon but since there's no Amazon in Norway I'm a bit skeptical it would get delivered in order.

Thanks for the help. My native language is Brazilian Portuguese, if it helps
