Hi Guys,

Good luck with Trotter and Morton. I think that they are in the process of looking to employ Electricians, sheet metal tecnicians and plumbers etc

Check out their web site on www.trotterandmorton.com. You can always email your resume (cv) to [email protected]

Good luck....Eddie & Julie.

ps, we have lived in the Calgary area (Okotoks) since 2006, and we absolutely love it here........

Is the best route for me to apply for a temp' work permit or go down the foreign workers route as i would like for us to move out there as a family [ together ].
All advice gratefully received as i am in limbo at wich way to turn.
thanks all.

Hi Darren Warren Green here your lucky there a great company and will offer you all the support to get your red seal.
You must get your Lmo after your credentials have been assessed your partner can get an open ended visa when she can work virtually anywhere and kids can get study visas

After your here for a few months and get the exam behind you applyfor you permanant residence visa will take about 6-8 months. I have several plumbers coming who would also be doing the exam so Im sure there will be alot of discussion amongst the group

The key here is passing the exam
