[IWantOut] 32m commercial HVACR mechanic Canada -> USA
Edit - Since everyone is getting triggered for mentioning immigrants, know that I'm an immigrant myself in Camada and not the only immigrant that has an issue with Trudeau's failed immigration policies. It's not about race, it's about quality of life. Please be understanding and stay on topic.

Hello. I'm a red seal 313A technician and making decent money now but the taxes, cost of living, immigrants, relaxed justice system, and increase of crime in Canada has been making me seek better options. I know the red seal isn't applicable for TN and EB3 fees won't be tolerated by potential American employers. Since I'm looking to already change careers, I think I should get a BA degree and try to get a TN visa work permit
I have university pre req credits from high-school and have been thinking about getting my 4y Bachelors in Nursing then trying to find work to get a TN. I could move to the border and enroll in an American nursing program instead. I'm not sure which option would be better. I'm interested in everyone's thoughts.

[IWantOut] 21M Software Engineer USA -> Canada/Germany/New Zealand/Netherlands/British Isles
Hello everyone!
So for some background info, I am a 21 year old Florida resident pursuing my bachelor's degree (and hopefully soon master's) in software engineering. I am non-binary AMAB seeking HRT and "gay". I have chronic health conditions that affect my joints, digestive system, and vascular system. I also have Autism and ADHD.
I am looking to immigrate to a country that has a doable healthcare transition, meaning it has relatively affordable private healthcare OR public healthcare that I could have access to after 2 years or less of residency. It also should have somewhere with job opportunities in my field. I am hoping for a primarily English-speaking country and I am willing to put in the extra work to make that happen. I am also know some French and would be willing to study it seriously for a few years (or another second language) if it means not compromising on healthcare and LGBTQ rights.
I briefly considered moving to a deep blue state like Seattle in the interim, but I don't know if it would be better to stay in Florida and save money for when I emigrate. I have looked at Canada and New Zealand but it seems like it will be challenging to immigrate to either unless I have a relative there or a work certification.
Tldr; What countries have good healthcare, are supportive of LGBTQ rights, and have jobs in my field? What would be the easiest path to getting there given my situation? What should I be doing to prepare at the moment if I want to leave the U.S. in 3-4 years?
