For me, it's been a matter of picking from the Pathfinder discord and going for regulars who I knew had no group at the time. The LFG section is fairly active and there's always players looking.
Then again, as a GM I have the pick of the crop (and eventually my players started GMing, and guess who they invited...)

There are multiple ways to find games. As a matter of fact, there are probably enough different ways to do it that it's hard to make a complete list.
First, you'll need to decide how you want to play. There's F2F (face to face), VTT (virtual tabletop), PbP (play by post), and probably others.
Second, you'll need to decide what you're looking to play. There are (Paizo) Adventure Paths, Pathfinder Society scenarios, home games, and definitely others.
In general, a lot of organization happens on Discord. You'll need to register for Discord, and then find the appropriate channels. Besides the Pathfinder channel that Ediwir posted, various groups have their own channel - Roll for Combat and Cosmic Crittermanders come up an awful lot, and the Glass Cannon Podcast (a popular Pathfinder podcast) has their own channel as well. A lot of gaming stores have their own channels as well.
Warhorn is useful for organizing nightly games (but not longer AP-type runs). You'll need to register for Warhorn, and then you can use the search function to look for games. You'll need to request to join each group before being able to register for their games - different groups will have different criteria for joining.
Many PbP games are run here on the Paizo forums. From the main tree, go to Online Campaigns -> Recruitment. Pathfinder Society games tend to be centralized in the Cottonseed Lodge and AP recruitment is centralized in this thread. You can also browse through the individual recruitment threads. There's an online PbP convention that begins in February, Outpost IV.
Aside from my home game with my kids, I play mostly PFS PbP and PFS VTT, so if you have other questions about PFS (but not about the PFS Discord, I'm terrible with Discord), I'm happy to answer.

What's PFS PbP like by the way? I have never tried PFS due to location. I don't believe there is any in Norway.
If you are intrested try emailing one of the regional venture coordinators. There is definately a Baltic regional coordinator who will cover Norway so contact them. This link should help:
Coordinators
Obviously at the moment face to face games are a rarity but if you are happy with VTT play then most of the regions are running online PFS games at the moment. Just email any of the regional coordinators that play in a time zone that suits and I'm sure they will get back to you. I play in the Isles region and there are more games on offer over VTT at the moment than any sane person could attend ;)
