"Seil Needs Help" or "Navigating Europe's Work Regulations Without A Map"

So I've been getting everything ready for my Care Aide course coming up, and I've decided that after I complete that, get my certificate, that I want to move to Ireland. It sounds like a pretty cool place to live.

The thing is that I've never moved to a different country before. I've got lots of questions, among them "Where am I going to live?" and "Am I going to meet nice, friendly people?" But the major questions that I've got (and have been having trouble answering) are as follows:

1) Will my Canadian Care Aide certification transfer over, or will I need to be schooled in Ireland?

Apparently, I need FETAC Level 5, but I'm not sure if my Canadian certification will be equivalent.

2) What kind of Green Card or Visa will I need to work in Ireland?

I don't know how much I'll be earning, or where I'll be working.

3) Do I need to do anything special to reside in Ireland?

There are specific requirement for citizenship, but it looks like I can just up and move tomorrow.

4) Is there anything else I need?

I don't know.
