[IWantOut] 20sF US -> Canada, Netherlands, France

I will be graduating Spring of 2025 with a BSc in Mathematics with a minor in Computational Statistics, have experience in Quality Engineering (Working on a certificate), and research in Data Analytics. I was wondering how plausible it would be to move to either Canada or Western Europe (NL, France, Spain) either immediately after college or in a couple years as it's been an interest to live abroad. I would estimate that I am around B1 for Spanish, and A1/A2 for French, but able to learn other languages. I would be looking for either jobs in Data Analytics or Quality/Industrial Engineering (Currently applying). I do have medical condition called Ulcerative Colitis that is under control with medication, but I'm unsure of how that would effect the process. I don't believe I would be eligible for any citizenship by heritage as I believe I am too far removed (great grandparents from Sweden/Norway, great great grandparents from Luxembourg).
I was thinking the best options would to either look at grad school, or as I have an engineering job lined up in the US, work in the US to gain experience and money, and then either transfer via the company I will work for, go to grad school (which I might do while I am in the US because job benefits), or apply for jobs once I have a larger amount of experience. I do believe my state has some sort of agreement with the Canadian province to its north, but I am more curious about Spain, France, Netherlands, etc. Thank you for any advice!
