Hi There
Can anyone tell me what the Canadian equivalent of the UK highway code is and can you buy it online ?

thanks

Peter Roulston.

Or better yet, study it online?

I'm guessing it would be provincial though..hmm.

Peter, which province are you headed to?

Hi There
We are hoping to settle in the GTA, so Ontario.

Thanks

Hi ken
I don`t mind you being nosy, it`s nice to think that someone is taking an interest in my immigration plan. We actually got our visas back today, yippee
My Job was for British American Tobacco as a Packing Technician.
Responsible for the safe and efficient running of high speed packing machines. Was expected to diagnose and rectify faults quickly and safely, while maintaining a high standard of quality. Also expected to carry out in-depth maintenance in an allotted amount of time. I was the Health and Safety Representative for my section of the factory, reporting directly to the Environmental Health and Safety Manager.
I`ve done a bit of material appreciation, at BAT and when I worked for unigate dairies working with cartons and the like.
If there are any jobs in the engineering dept I would be interested.
we are planning to move in April, still struggling to sell the house.
So how are you finding it ?
best wishes
Peter Roulston.
