Question about Canadian job sites
Hiya
Although we're not planning to Make The Move yet, I did come across a company the other day who have recently been acquired by a Canada based parent organisation.
In the full belief that the universe does chuck the odd positive googly every now and again (plus you should never look a present bearing mule in the gob), I thought that I'd check out their recruitment site.
Interestingly enough, they have a couple of vacancies in Toronto or Vancouver which get my radar twitching... But they haven't got salary details on them.
And now that I think about it, a few sites I've seen in the past haven't either...
Is this normal practice? It would be useful to know because we're not planning to move yet as we're clearing debt and saving money. But if the money is astoundingly good, it would make me think again...
Any help - as always - gratefully received

I would check the job vacancies don't have something along the lines of 'must be legally entitled to work in said jurisdiction' on them. My company does this for most of the international positions it advertises; only occasionally do they sort out work permits etc.

Is what normal practice? Do you mean the big salary, or having jobs in other locales?
