Hi Sharon

My hubby has a job out there too. We are waiting for LMO (Labour MArket Opinion) which is what we need to get the Work Permit. So it all depends on whether you are going LMO or AEO.

We are going LMO route and then going for PR status when we get there.

The company he is going to work for has done the application for the LMO which i am pretty sure they have to and then when we get positive decision on this then he will apply for Work Permit on arrival at Calgary Airport which takes anything between 45 mins and 2 hours by all accounts

If you need any other info pm me if u want

Hi Sharon,
There's a lot to do. Our experience has been that the company's don't offer as much support as you'd hope - and you're actually lucky to get much at all. So that's good news really.

As to what to do, there's some information that I have put together in the past at:
http://www.relocation2bc.com/checklist.htm
and also
http://www.relocation2bc.com/arrival-checklist.htm
Although these were written for BC, a lot of it is true wherever you are going.

Warmly,

Frank

Well apart from the useful general information provide all ready. You need to know most is everyone doesn't know your business.

so how about a few details like what is the job, what city, what area in that city, what family requirements old young just U2, or is there others.

Really helps, as a deep sea crab fishman requirements are slight different from stock market analysis in toronto.

he has been offered a job with general cable in moose jaw,sask.he is the only one going over.they have his work permit authorised and he has been given his start date in jan 07.

after that he is now after more info from the company about accomodation etc.sorry for being vague but its a bit of a bolt out of the blue as he was due to fly to their hq in europe for more tests etc before any offer was made.
