Missing that training isnt that big a deal mate, those courses are run all the time and very easy to reschedule but if you dont get your work visa arranged you will be wasting your money on the courses

Re: thinking of moving to alberta

totally agree, apply now - go to Nisku, do your courses, come home and wait for the visa. You might onlly have to wait a month whereas if you wait til you get home, the visas might all be gone anyway.

Also think on the fact that if you are 29 now - will you qualify for a secod year?

If you want to go rigging you'll be over here for when spring break is over anyway :thumbup:
