Re: bricklayers
Hi, brrttpaul, and welcome to the BE forum.
Bricklayers are amongst the Occupations Under Pressure in Alberta and New Brunswick.
Several of your other questions probably will be answered if you read Beginner's Guide to Canadian Immigration.
Hope that helps.

Re: bricklayers
Not much housing work as most houses are built with timber and cladding . Although brickwork is used for the stoops alright . Alot of commercial is done with cladding aswell . There is work for brickys alright on shopfronts and streetfronts - a good bricky will always find work .

P.S now is the time to cross the pond if you're thinking about it, work has slowed up quite a lot locally & I think it may get worse

Re: bricklayers
Interesting what Burnsy says, I was going to say I could count on one hand the number of brick houses I saw in Winnipeg, whereas almost every house seems to be brick here. I wondered if it was something to do with the climate in Winnipeg, that brick wasn't the best option? Dunno.

Re: bricklayers
Certainly brick clad houses are as rare as hens teeth here. I guess because it's a higher end and more expensive finish than vinyl or wood siding.

PM PinkMcFarquar. Her OH works in something to do with Oil drilling here in St John's. For East Coast Oil and Gas jobs you could start here: http://www.careerbeacon.com/cat/en/14 Alberta would of course be the other place to look.

Re: bricklayers
The house next door has been built over this winter, foundations were done by Oct. They've bricked it and stone trimmed it, but it's been a tiny section at a time, under massive sheets and with several propane tanks on 24/7 to get it to the right temperature. Bricklaying seems a bit problematic over the winter even in the banana belt!
