Hey there,
I used to be a cop in the UK too but changed careers a few years back. I don’t think you’ll have a problem passing the Police test again once you’ve been here for a while and get into the mindset of Canadians. I really think that we Brits look too deeply into the questions, weighing up all the pros and cons because we’re expecting it to be comparable to a UK test, when in actual fact the Canadians are looking for the simple answer. I’ve seen signs about town saying that Edmonton Police are hiring just now – maybe once you arrive you could attend one of their recruit training classes just to put yourself at ease, because I’m sure you’ll ace it next time. Good luck with your application!

I wouldnt mind being part paid in celery, as long as they threw in a few other veggies as well. Did you know you use up more calories eating celery than is actually in it.
This fact is bought to you today by idonegiveaflyingmonkeys.com

I used to get part paid in veggies. I used to drive truck for a fruit & veg wholesaler in Hastings and part of our wages each week was a BIG bag full of veg, enough for a family of 5 for the week any way.

No.

By the hour and not celery

There's a job being advertised with the Ontario Public Services Investigative division for a fraud investigation officer. Not sure if it's what you are looking for but thought I would post it anyway.

With Govt jobs, there is always competition ( they are required to do this ), and based on the amount of applicants, it could go on for sometimes a yr or more.

So you were previously paid in .... oh can't be bothered.

Even if you did past the written tests ( good for 2-3yrs ), there is the prolonged interview process, and then the question of if they have the budget and number of people they are going to be hiring.

Have you tried the RCMP? They have now started paying people going through the boot camp process, they never use to

Previous paid in the UK. Now paid in Canada.

Salary not celery.

Celery is a vegetable, sorry just a photo, no video.

By jove I think the old fella finaly got it pip pip and kudos to you

No one got a slapsik sarcastik side to em on ere any more.

I think you need to be a citizen to apply to the RCMP.
