Well, I have been lurking and reading on this forum for about three years now so it is really time I introduced myself

I am a soldier coming to the end of 30 years service next year. I am looking to go to Nova Scotia but also have New Brunswick and PEI in mind as alternatives. The NS community sponsored route looks most interesting.

I am an Aircraft Technician by trade and I am studying for IT Quals (MCSA) this year prior to my release. Hoping to get a job around Halifax Airport.

I have a wife, two boys, six dogs and a scabby cat to move with me so things should be interesting.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone as I think my post count will be rising over the next few months as I start serious planning for my move.

Hey Spook. Welcome to the forum.
Wow - three years. That's what I call lurking.

IMP Aerospace at Halifax Airport are the people you want to talk to about a job. They have a number of military contracts for both Canadian and US govts.

Check out the careers section of their website here: http://www.impgroup.com/careers/en_S...px?DivCode=HIA

Hi I am new today - looking to move not sure which area yet ? Calgary or PEI am in nursing looking for job first - will have to be cheap and cheerful area as my husband has decided he does not want to come

Hi and welcome, lots of information and advice to be found on this site. Good luck and best wishes!

Yes I have been looking at them, seem like an ideal employer for me

Anyone know someone who knows someone there?

Hi and welcome also have a read of the WIKI pages im sure other nurses will be along to help you, there"s lots of call for nurses all over Canada, so are you going alone ? thats a very big step so good luck

Lurking for 3 years good luck with moving the dogs etc we are taking 3 bad dogs as well, better check how many you are allowed i know each province is different wish you all the best

Try pm'ing poster 'dkvl' (although she hasn't been online lately). Her husband works for IMP Aerospace I believe.

Hello and welcome to BE spook. My partner and I will have been here 3 year in June. We gained our residency via the PNP Community Identified route which took 8 months. We live up on the North Shore 1 1/2hrs drive from the airport and 2hrs from Charlottetown PEI. We just love it here. Just PM me if you would like any info on that route. I am sure you will have no problem finding a position at the airport I often see positions of that nature being advertised.

Hi there undecidedandunsure You will have no problem finding a position on PEI or here on the North Shore (18miles across the water) of Nova Scotia. This is a ad for positions locally http://www.careerbeacon.com/search/en/-1/3/62/236
House prices here on the North Shore are very reasonable, especially for such a beautiful location. This link shows some properties that are very close to were the above jobs are based. http://www.mls.ca/PropertyResults.as...of=1&ps=10&o=A
Just thought it will give you some idea of what is available. If you want any info on the PNP CI route just PM me.

You have scared me now!

I have never seen any regulations on how many dogs you can have in Canada, just that they have to be licenced?

Spook - try Todd Tomnacheck and Canadian Helicopters..... My OH did 22 years, left as a Lynx pilot/QHI and was offered work with these guys and they would LMO too. I think that will be the case for tecs too....

If you need any more info give me a PM, big step we know - so all the best to you and yours
