Re: Any Ontario Police
Thanks for all the advice...alot to think about. Were applying on the wifes research doctor job been on the skilled jobs list, so we'll wait and see what the outcome of the PR visa status is.
But in the meantime, I think I'll start watching the Hull Stingrays! and learning french.
Do Police over there subscribe to a strict human rights charter like over here?

Re: Any Ontario Police
In the UK the police get some sort of deal on mortgages......Do they have anything like that here, especially if you are based in BC?

I can tell you for sure they get free Tim Horton's
On a serious note, they might have the same like we do, get a special rate at a certain bank. The BMO claims to be the bank for Canadian military, and offer a mortgage rate to us that other banks to match. My mortgage is not from them though

Re: Any Ontario Police
Get as many qualifications as you can, stick with the GTA- I asked someone in service and they said that York in Toronto would more than likely look at you with your qualifications. York is one of the roughest areas of the city where you would need good firearm skills as there are regular shootings.
Look towards Scarborough in Toronto for violent crime.

Re: Any Ontario Police
Course, the Kingston Road can be rough but that's not the same as violent crime. 42 Div is busy with Scarborough Town Centre and certain areas around Morningside and Neilsen Road but even that is tiny compared to the overall numbers of people living in Scarborough ( > 500,000).
Of course, this is all off topic relating to the original post.

Re: Any Ontario Police
I am thinking northwest Toronto, Driftwood this, Driftwood that, Jane and Finch, the bits with violence. I thought they were in York or North York but I can't make out where the boundary between North York and whatever's west of there falls. If you say they're 2" out of North York, fair enough. I suppose so long as the crime stays in the 'burbs and affects neither Toronto proper nor country towns, I shan't worry about it.

Re: Any Ontario Police
was chatting with some lads I used to work with on patrol some years back. They were saying that it is getting very difficult to move to specalized units with a lot of competition. Also less new recruits coming in.
Hiring is definately slowing down.
