This also includes people that went through schools in Finland and would be paid the same money as a native.
There just a massive issue with our immigration service running out of capacity to handle applications in a timely manner and some stupid laws that need changing/updates.
Basically applications for a work permit can take somewhere between 3 to 9 months currently. A lot of people can't live that long in the country without a job so they will just go to some other EU/EEA country. Norway is a very popular option for example and will give you a yes or no decision in a week or two instead of half a year.
