Dead? what do you mean?

My hubby is a red seal electrician and works for an overhead crane company. He is obviously electrically bias but has good mechanical knowledge also. Search for Electrician Jobs Alberta you should get some hits, good luck with the job search

)

I was contemplating dropping off some resumes to some companies whilst I am out there to see if I get any nibbles. Does anyone have any experience of doing this or could give me any tips? Good or bad idea?

It'll be the gas and oil companies I will be approaching, I am a qualified Industrial Electrician!

Visa/Qualification recognition are no issue, all is well on that front

! Im looking to relocate as soon as an opportunity allows!

Thanks for any help !

Hi Geordie, i'm in a similar situation to yourself. Expecting my PR at a similar time to you under the same trade. I'm interested on how you did your Red Seal without having PR as I read on their application forms that you have to be a permanent resident to challenge the exam? Did you order the study material from Red Seal directly?

It would be good to here an update on your progress to give myself and others a real world success story.
