They will ask you what kind of school  you have, and if that school are good enough  for
the goverment. Not if you are good enough. Iīm swedish myself and know alot of foreigners
having problems to get cleared. I know people moving from Norway after not getting job
here even if Norway needs them. Doctors from Joguslavia are collecting garbage. One
Icelandic guy have to go jail because working as a psykaitris with foregn education not
good enough for the goverment. He also have to pay his money back. Even if the employer
was fully aware of the situation. This doesnīt mean Norwigian education is good. Itīs
relly bad Ask me Iīm been there.

There are to much musical people in the goverment to go for such a law.

> I mean hey.. whats the harm in learning new things ??

Thats why we are on the list. I donīt think anybody is on the list without that reason.
