Thats good but try this
1. Download goggle earth
2. Type in the name of the town and the province,
3. Then in the LHS in the Search window type in the Business type you want.
4. Hey presto there are loads and loads in fact there are loads!

PS this will work for almost all jobs (not much for Irn Bru taster)

Gremmie

Now why didnt you try that before you signed for H&R

Bugger that it costs money

dinger24

Me?
I have not signed for anyone yet!
Still sizing up, thought sod it I will write to them all!
Then see what sort of response I get
(probably be here for ever!)

dinger24

Whats H&R like then?

Gremmie

I have friends that love em and friends that hate em which basicly is the situation with any company any where..

dinger24

Hmmm
This is the problem, every one of the companies is the same some like some dont. My wife is used to the separation and living abroad so if that is the problem then sod it I am in but its the wages if she does nae get her fix of Irn Bru (vodka to top up her pint) then I will have to look into something else

Gremmie

Be warned H&R are absolut tee total

dinger24

Thats them out then I drink Coffee, beer, vodka, water, juice but not tea
Thanks

1. Write your CV as an Email.. Showing your driving history,countries youve driven through or in,any mountain driving,types of work done..also explain that you wish to enter canada under the PNP (Provincial Nominee Programm)
remember you are selling your self and your abilities so as much info as poss,,,but no lies.
2 Read and study the CIC (canadian immigration ) web sites,know excactly what is required of you and an employer on the PNP
TIP,, some smaller companies are a bit unsure of what to do,,so if need be you could point them in the right direction..and this would also show any company that you are 1000% dedicated to coming over.
3 Finding a company and an area of Canada, Canada is friggin big, bigger than you may well know or expect,,,google is amazing in looking at any area or town..

Its a long hard slog starting a new life,and needs lots of research of your own..ya pals here will help as much as poss but the donkey work has to be yours

Gremmie

keep sending out those CVs
