I plan to go as well, seeing as it's so close - I go to Leeds every day anyway for work. Hopefully I'll know by then whether I've been accepted, in which case it may prove useful for contacts for the job hunt!

I've been to a new zealand expo in london last year and we found it really helpful there were job agencies, reps from banks estate agents etc and we had a good chat and got loads of information, I'm just hoping that the canadian expo is as helpful. Anyway it a good exscuse for a trip to london.

hehe so we're not the only ones who came back from an NZ job fair and decided to go to canada...?! ;-)

No but its taken us a few months to find nova scotia and if we hadnt of been researching nz we wouldnt have even thought of going there. im just glad we didnt move to nz we might have got stuck there. a few people on the nz forum have moved from nz to canada.

Hello,

I had preregisterd for the expo in leeds and today I have received a generic mail from the organisation.

It s just to say they might get in touch with us soon (by email I presume).
Sems nothing but I just wanted to put this treath at the top of the list. mainly to see if someone has been at one of those expo last year and get a feedback.

Thanks

Stefke

yup = we got that email too - the one about submitting yr CV?

The email is just to let you know that some job titles have been posted on the website (to give you an idea of what employment opportunities there will be at the show) - it's updated weekly apparently.

We went last year and only took hard copies of our CVs so I'd recommend people take their memory sticks too, as lots of people asked us for electronic versions! (that was for NZ but I'd imagine Canadian employers are the same).

It's weird to think that we could all be walking round the show, unaware that we're probably brushing shoulders with people we've been chatting with on this forum!

Hiya, it's anita here actually - i tend to hijack sean's user ID to post - he never has time as he's constantly studying! He says he can't remember (typical bloke's memory...) - which site was it?

We're going too - i think i'll recognise you cos you've stuck your piccy on your avatar. Sean won't be wearing the gnome suits (unfortunately) but i've got short black hair and he's got ginger hair (and will probably be sunburnt as he's fairskinned and we'll only have got back from our honeymoon a month before the expo!).

I checked the site for some job descriptions but didn't see anything, but I will check again

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the info. That looks interresting. i can figure out what to expect.

Has anyone seen any advert for qualified account ? What if you are french native speaker (which I'm) ? Would it help ?

Thanks,

Hi all, I've been trying to find details of a previous Canada expo to get an idea of what to expect. It's a long way for me to go without being sure i'm going to get my questions answered. A lot of the visitor comments on the web-site are for Australia and New Zealand, does anyone know if they've done the Canada show before? Otherwise I might hold off until the Coventry show in October as I have family there and have heard good things about that one,
Advice would be much appreciated.
