I don't have any specific advice, except to say that you should keep an eye on the economic situation, especially the Euro sovereign debt crisis. You probably want to avoid one of the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain). But what you do not hear as much about is that French and German banks have a lot of exposure to some of the PIIGS, so if things get really ugly for the PIIGS, then expect France and Germany to take a hit. I would also suggest you shoot for a country that still has their own currency or better yet is not in the European Monetary Union because it's not clear if the Euro will survive the current financial crisis and if it does what it will look like (e.g. it could end up being a smaller union led by Germany) The general view once you get away from the mainstream media is EU has kicked the can down the road, meaning that e.g. Greece will very likely be a problem again in the near future. To be honest, Canada is weathering the storm fairly well right now, so from that perspective you might want to stay there (you could always move to a different region). Anyway, hate to be pessimistic, but there is little evidence there will be a fast recovery in the current financial crisis.
