Job Opportunity in Canada

I have a job opportunity for someone from the uk wanting to come and work here in Alberta!

Please feel free to contact me or to ask any questions - and please I only want people who are serious about this - I have stuck my neck out too many times only for people to let me down :unamused:

The company deals in refrigeration grain and livestock

so if you are in a position to pack up and move fairly quickly and are positive it is what you want then feel free to pm me

thanks

Refrigeration, grain and livestock? Those are 3 distinctly different parts of the transportation industry, requiring 3 different types of equipment.

My guess is that they are looking primarily for livestock hauliers, known as ā€œbull-haulersā€ in the business. You would be carrying double-deck livestock trailers from feed lots to abbatoirs in rural locales, for the most part. Lots of driving down dirt roads, covered with mud, then you’ll need to clean the trailer out between runs.

why you making guesses for a company you know nothing aboutā– ā– ?

they could be looking for any of those three they deal in them all

anyway its down to the driver that is interested it - maybe he will be interested in working with cattle :unamused:

also they are gravel roads here at this end but not too many they go down and you dont need to clean the trailer out between runs a scrape out is good enough to be cattle ready here in any case they do it for ya here while u sit inside drinking a nice cup of coffee :smiley:

Is it anywhere near Wainwright? I was posted there for a long time and throughly enjoyed my time there.

As for emigrating, i don’t know after hearing all the horror stories of needing X amount of cash and this that and the other :unamused: :unamused:

Though i could be tempted if the right vacancy came up, Mrs Linux loved Canada too especially the Edmonton centre. You wouldn’t believe the amount of times i had to drag her out of the Sherlock Holmes after a Guinness or two :unamused: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :smiley: :smiley:

I did look into it once but that was along time ago and i’d bet the whole process has changed now anyway but i couldn’t go back to Vermillion and i’m not posting why on here :wink: :wink: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

Even after all these years i still miss Canada, couldn’t wait to get out of USA though.

no its more on a level with medicine hat about 2 hours esat of there :slight_smile:

i still havent been to the mall - cant wait

i think it must be easier to come to canada than it was then! i am not sure - obviously you need money your going to have to set up home again
there is a shortage of drivers here - you have to be careful tho of companies promising the earth and research things well!
we have been here since may and it takes 6 to 8 months to get your residency - its a fast track way of getting in with a work permit

The Mall is great, or was. Last time we went Mrs Linux threw a paddy as they had opened a Hooter’s opposite the Sherlock :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: :smiley: needless to say you can guess what everyone was paying attention to :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

I would seriously consider it if the right job was there, but i can see it taking alot of time to get things sorted for moving and, of course there is the money issue :cry: :cry: if i remember rightly you needed $2000 per adult upon landing in Canada, is that still the case? (it was along time ago)

Would the 3 years i lived there when in the Forces count?

Now Med hat, what a place. I’m probably still banned from the Silver Buckle if it’s still there :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :wink: :wink: :smiley: :smiley: :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

i dont think you need money on landing but you do have to show u can support yourself when u apply for residency and it is an expense emigrating so you would need some to set u up with a new life - luckily we have plenty of equity in our home…u soiund like u were a bit of a lush eh? lol

I have no idea what you mean by a bit of a lush.

I am going to stop looking in this thread as it is very tempting to call the embassy on Monday and get the bumf.

I had a serious good time there and i very much doubt that it would be the same now. I am perfectly happy to live with the memories that i have, that’s not to say that a holiday couldn’t be arranged :wink: :smiley: :smiley:

Please stop teasing me now about Canada, but i wish you the best over there and i’m not really jealous :cry: :cry: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: :smiley:

Truth be told i am sure that i wouldn’t be settled anywhere, i just have to travel and it is only because of Jnr that i have stayed in one place so atleast he has a stable upbringing. Mine was something totally different, to say i have lived in a few countries is an understatment. I always want to be somewhere different, does that make sense or am i rabbiting on?

PS What’s the job and how much experience do you needā– ā– ? :wink: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

is a carrot being dangled? lol

lush= likes a bit of a drink :open_mouth:
not sure what the job would entail you would need to call them.
you need 2 years experience of driving but you do need to retake your test and do an air brake test…

we love it here but its not for everyone i guess!

Yes the carrot is being dangled :cry: :cry:

I used to have a drink every now and then :smiley: :smiley: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

If i was able to just fly over with a suitcase i’d be there tomorrow, but i doubt that’s allowed which is a shame.

why are u not allowed? lol

What’s the matter Cattleman does everybody in Alberta have you all figured out.
I think so.

wow canada why wud anyone in there rite minded give up work in england to go to canada ? its not a better life there!!

What is Canada like then? I imagine it to be peaceful and safe, but on the downside a little boring. I’m sure this is just my prejudices showing, I only ever went there for 20 minutes, to refuel at Gander International Airport and that’s not enough to form an honest opinion.

You mean you took Brit Petes route to Spain Harry…? :laughing:
