Probably not. There's probably a region lock...

No, there is a region lock. Region locks are burnt into the disc. The only way to play it is to use a Wii from EU. Those Wiis have the code to unlock. Canada & US Wiis have a different North America Code

Unfortunately your american wii is NTSC and only supports NTSC games. Europe games are PAL and only consoles designated to play PAL games will play them. Here is a list of the world and shows which countries use which encoding system. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/PAL-NTSC-SECAM.svg/800px-PAL-NTSC-SECAM.svg.png Looks like Paris uses PAL and Canada uses NTSC, so you will not be able to play that game.

I want to work an average job and just live in Paris, what do I need to do
I want to work an average job and just live in Paris, what do I need to do?
I am currently 19 and live in Ontario Canada. I would like to move to Paris and work a job that pays minimum wage, possibly go to school. What do I need to do for this to happen?

learn french, if you dont already no it. Save up some money, and just go. Even if you mess up, how great of a story would that be?

Assuming you are Canadian, you need to get a work visa. Then hope to Heck you can find a job! (unemployment is high in Europe right now). Most people in Europe don't go to school and work at the same time. Minimum wage isn't going to be enough to live on....you know that, right?

french people are soooo rude. and there are gypsies and pickpockets. the french crime rate is really bad...

You won't get a work visa without a job. You need to speak French. You won't be able to work to sustain yourself and go to university at the same time as there's a limit in France on the number of hours a student can work. So, you either find a job and move in or you get a place at a university and manage to get some financial help from your own country (you won't get it from France). In both case you get a visa.

You will need to get a work visa which requires a confirmed job offer from a valid employee. Students in France are not like students in the US and Canada, as most going to university do not work or only work a few hours. There is a limit on how many hours a student may work, because the government wants dedicated students who are not trying to hold down a full time job to distract them from their studies. Basically, you are either a student, or a worker. If you are a worker, you may need to enter the country under the skilled workers classification which means you have a highly desirable skill, unlikely for a 19 year old. If you are entering on a student visa, you will need confirmation of acceptance to the university you plan on attending and a certain amount of cash ahead of time to prove that you can sustain yourself financially and will not become a burden on the system. French is a must, even in Paris, no one likes accommodating a non-French-speaker in the workplace and you will not get hired anywhere without advanced knowledge of French. Do not expect accommodation or help just because you're a foreigner, people really do detest that here. Perhaps in a better economy you would be in a better position to gain employment or study here, but unemployment rates are high especially for the underskilled.

CABAL said it all i cant add no more. you have as much chance of a work visa as i have getting one in the usa or Canada. you look after your own and so do we ..

You'll need a visa and work permit, which typically can only be arranged by finding an employer who will hire you in France, and you must do this before you actually come to France. You can come as a student, but students are allowed to work only very limited hours and cannot make enough to support themselves by working. It is also virtually impossible to live on minimum wage in Paris itself.

Employers look for citizens first, and only if they can't find anyone qualified then they will look for foreign applicants. It's the law. So it won't matter what part of France you seek employment.
2 :
A friend of mine worked in Paris for about 3 years, he didn't have to find a job, the company he worked for sent him there. He had grown up in French Canada and spoke French fluently.The problem is that Canadian French is slightly different then the French they speak in France, so they had him pegged as a foreigner almost immediately. Because of that, most of them made it extremely difficult to work with them, and did just about everything they could to make his life miserable. He was ever so glad when his boss told him he could come home. You have been warned.

It's hard for Americans to get work in Europe. You will have to be a Citizen first, which is hard to get as you know. Then for your competition, not only will you have to compete will Parisians you may have to compete with any person from the 27 EU countries as the EU has a policy. Any person that is a citizen of any of the 27 EU states is granted to live and work freely across the European Union, and Paris is a popular place for work. Good luck anyways! It's still possible even though it's hard.
4 :
Not easily. Yeah, you need a visa. What do you think you can DO?
5 :
The only way you can get work in Paris if you don't have a password from an EU country is if you can get a job with a company in the US and they transfer you to their office in France. For example, an American friend of mine got transferred to Paris with Morgan Stanley, and another got transferred over with Deloitte Or you need to have skills that are in demand and they can't find enough EU citizens to fill the job - usually specialized science, engineering and medical fields. So if you are a brain surgeon you wouldn't have a problem. Or if you were a PhD chemist, nuclear physicist, etc. Or if you get a degree at a French university, you can get a post-study visa that allows you to stay and work for 2 years
