Default How fast can a Canadian employer move?

Tuesday - initial telephone contact
Wednesday - face to face interview
Thursday - technical interview
Friday - formal offer

Don't ever let anyone tell you that Canadians employers can't move fast when they want to ... that's the second time I've had a job go from 0 to 60 in a couple of days

Sure beats 5 months to get from tele interview to formal offer with hiccup in between of we think there may be a Union issue, how would you feel about 'blah blah' drivel.

zzzzzzzzz....now counting down 6 months to get HRDC approval now. Then 3 fmonths more or work permit.

PR will be here quicker than that.

Rich.

Nope, just keeping my mouth shut and taking the money.
