hello Everybody,
My name is Felipe, I'm 24 years old Sound Technician and I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I am intending to move to Vancouver by the end of January to live with my girlfriend, she is canadian and is already living in Vancouver. We are together for a year and the best way we found out for we to be together is me to move there. I've been researching that for a long time, and I just found out that is REALLY difficult to find a job from here and get sponsored from here in Brazil. So my plan is, to go there and then find a job.
I have some doubts that I can never find online and nobody says something substantial to me.
At first, my intention is to find any job, to live there, and then after some time working, find something in my field and start to study again. Is that really difficult to find a job that can sponsor you?? Is that process expensive or long??
remembering that I don't really care at first what kind of job will I get, as long it's legal and honest!

My other question is, after that period of working in any job, I REALLY would like to find something in my field and keep studying. But I am researching that, and I couldn't find ANY good information about how a foreigner to get into some university there. Things like, what documents do I need, how to valid my degree there (like my schooling, to prove that I have equivalent studies here in Brazil).

Please can somebody help me??
I'm  sorry for such a BIG message and for so maney questions, I'm just REALLY lost about those things and my trip is comming soon! *nervous*

Thanks a lot in advance!

Sincerely,
Felipe
