Re: To Email or not to Email
Ok update!!
We emailed asking if there was any progress (without the read receipt) no reply as yet but then again we dont expect instant replies so now just waiting to see what happens.
We are actually going to Calgary in October for 2 weeks so a face to face meeting will be our next strategy.
We have arranged 2 other meetings while we are there so still keeping all options open.
Thanks for all the advice, really do appreciate it.

Re: To Email or not to Email
My experience with Canadian employers is that they ignore emails. Maybe they all got sick of waiting for a read receipt from Alan2005
If it were me, I would phone the employer. This is exactly what I did and it resulted in my current employment. If a phone call from a prospective employee seeking clarification annoys them, believe me, you don't want to work there.
Good luck

Re: To Email or not to Email
Phone call is the next step after an email, but you dont want to be too pushy. Its a balancing act.
Im dying to read the next chapter, let us know what they say (if anything)!
