Re: Holidays in Employment
This is an old chestnut. Judicious use of the search function will produce inumerable discussion on the subject. Bottom line is that it's a 'North American' thing rather than strictly Canadian, and that yer actual vacation will vary from job to job and employer to employer. If you think you're only gonna get the 10 days plus public holidays (11 here in Newfoundland) and that's an insurmountable problem for you then don't move to Canada!

Re: Holidays in Employment
Perhaps you are right as I do find myself becoming increasingly irritated with the same question being asked and the same debate happening continually. In my defence I did know how to use the search function when I was a noob and didn't expect all information handed to me on a plate as some do. I also think that my rambling occasionally include some relavent info and/or advice. Feel free to ignore them if they bother you.

Re: Holidays in Employment
Thanks guys for your support.
We have done loads of research on the search function, but sometimes it makes you feel better when you speak to other people (expats) direct and let them tell you of their experiences.
Still more questions to come.

Re: Holidays in Employment
As I said in a prev. thread - go self employed to get more days off. Yes I know it takes time to get established, may work longer hours initially, but at least you can take a chunk of time when needed.

Re: Holidays in Employment
I've been staring at this contribution for some time. My conclusions are that either I've been away from the UK too long to understand vernacular or ( the more likely explanation) that folk from Sunderland are mental, as we all have long accepted as a given.
