Re: Age issues for working in Canada
Hi All,
Have asked this question a couple of times but since starting with our dreams of emigrating, the years are passing by!
I am hoping to go out and sit Red Seal (Industrial Electrician) in the next few months and then explore the proposed FSTC route as opposed to FSW. I am 42 years of age and am just concerned how attractive to a prospective employee I would be to our Canadian counterparts??
I do have a lot to offer in this field and indeed have just accepted a position here as an Electrical Maintenance Supervisor (a contingency if plans don't pan out)
Thoughts would be appreciated

Saskatchewan are always looking for Industrial Electrical Journeymen in the Mining Industry!
Age certainly isn't a factor!

Re: Age issues for working in Canada
As work at this stage may dictate our initial move, I would consider most places. Do you know of some opportunities? Thx

You will need to complete your Red Seal and find a company that's willing to get an LMO if you have not already got your PR.
Good Luck!
