European Union's freedom of movement for workers (place, nationality, travel)

[AudreyJ]

As a dual Canadian-Italian citizen, am I free to migrate to, work, and reside indefinitely in any EU member state?

Is the EU's policy for freedom of movement for workers subject to an EU member state's immigration and employment laws?

I don't see why you shouldn't since you already have citizenship of an EU state. Then again, I'm in no place to tell you if you could or not being that I'm not European. I'm just chiming in. Those who are familiar with the EU should give you a more certified answer.

My daughter has Spanish nationality and s working in Holland. There are some formalities but they are easily dealt with. You should have no problem traveling and working on your Italian travel documents and/or ID card.

If you have an Italian passport (in addition to your Canadian passport, not instead of) you are good to go. Remember though that unemployment is currently in double digits in many places. Unless you have advanced qualifications and soughtafter skills employers are likely to show little interest in someone who isn't fluent in the local language. So, although theoretically you can work in any of the 27 member states, in practise your choices will be more limited. Good luck.
