Are South Americans welcome in Finland?

[Orlando_Ego]

I'm from Colombia and like to migrate to a better place to grow a family. My wife has read a book in her career studies that said that Finalnd has one of the best education system; that is why I'd like to live there an grow a family, but I'd like to know how welcome we will there.

Sorry my english, actually I just start to study the language.

Yes most immigrants are welcomed in Finland. I am myself an immigrant living in Helsinki. I have quite a few friends and colleagues from South America. I think it is a good place to live. People are mostly nice and polite. Public services are good and easy to access. Of course being an immigrant requires efforts on your side to integrate as well.

Hello,
South Americans and Columbians are more than welcome to Finland, like any other nationalities.
People in Finland are generally really tolerant and welcoming.

Education starting from kindergarten is free for sure.
Your kid can study for free all the way to the highest degree at the best Universities.

Welcome!
