Emigrating to canada

[1927]

Try this link. It's the Alberta government site. Halfway down the page are a couple of links for "Temporary Foreign Workers/Potential Immigrants".

I have looked at so many pages of info in the lastw eek, but one link I found on there eld me to a page I had never seen before which has made everything much clearer.thanks for the help, I now have a far better idea of what I'm doing and it seems that if i can get a job they will let me in on a temp basis if nothing else!!

It sits on one of canada's biggest, if not the biggest, natural gas fields and is therefore probably one of those places offering jobs to foreign workers.

You see Halliburton trucks there. Halliburton got its start as an oilfield services company.

I've only been looking at doing this for the last week and I must say I am encouraged that I might have a chance. I emailed some companies askinmg if it was even worth applying,emailed my CV, sorry resume, to a few companies over the weekend and applied for a job last night,well nothing to lose eh!

One company said they didnt have anything suitable at present, but would I please send my resume.Another said theyc ouldnt sponsor anyone at teh moment, and another have emailed to ask some more questions!! I am pleased that they have even bothered replying to unsolicited emails, about jobs which may or may not exist and for which I am probably barred from applying anyway. Nice one Canada, I like you people already!!

Ok I know this is the US thread, but thought it was probably the most appropraite place to post.

I heard on the radio today that Alberta has such a shortage of workers that they are looking for 40,000 workers immediately. Now I had already given thought to moving to Canada and this made me think a bit more about exploring the possibility. I already know that I would qualify for a visa as a skilled worker, but having trawled thru hundreds of web pages there is no simple one stop shop for all the deatils.

So to short circuit the whole process do any of you know the easiest way to get sorted. Thanks

Don't you dare, you owe me a pint!!!!
