A few people will be along to give advice, most of it will start with read the Wiki (in the blue bar above) for both countries and then come back with narrowed down questions. Good luck.

Edited to add, don't forget to read the Moving Back to the UK part of the forum...

It's not plant here they call it equipment. a JCb in the classic term is a backhoe. a 360's an excavator. so go look for equipment operator jobs http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/res-eng.asp...ge=50&Stdnt=No

You are unlikely to get any job if (a) you are sending CV's (make sure it's a resume in Canadian format!); and (b) you are only sending them via email. As the Wiki will tell you, you need to pick up the phone and/or get out there to stand any chance of finding an employer prepared to go through the paperwork/hassle/wait of your LMO application.

Have a good read of the Job Hunting section of the Wiki and hopefully that will help.

Best of luck.
