Say overseas. My dictionary says 'oversea' is a variant, but I never see it.

Personally, I've often heard Americans refer to Canada as 'overseas', which always makes me smile.

Did you read that thread and all the links?

'Overseas' is the word commonly used. As Clive said, 'oversea' may exist but, like Clive, I have never seen or heard it.

Both variants are used where I live (Canada). You can use either one, as they're both correct.
