As a foreigner, you can get a job in Belize, if you first can beat out other Belizeans going for the job. Some expats are over- qualified for a job, and then they expect a paycheck that reflects their qualifications, and it just does not come. This is why I think it is best for expats in Belize to start their own business or by being creative and juggling between several jobs.
If you have a nice government job in Canada and you come to Belize expecting to get the same government job, you might end up getting frustrated. A company cannot hire you if they are able to find other Belizeans who qualify for the job you are looking to fill. A prospective employer has to be able to prove that he or she advertised a particular job opening for four weeks to the local Belizean community and was unable to find a qualified Belizean to do the job before that employer is allowed to hire someone who is not a Belizean.
