Yay
Well here we are in front of Lake Ontario in somewhat sunny Toronto :D
After Bunac kindly refused our work permit application (They don't allow children :mad: ), we decided to take the bull by the horns. Booked tickets to Toronto, sent 2 year old daughter to her grandparents for a week and my hubby managed to arrange a meeting with a company that he's been trying to get a job at (Cogeco Cable). He has had alot of support from a few employees there and one of them that is quite high up staked her reputation on him to management, so that made it easier to get a meeting. He had the meeting this morning and they've agreed to sponsor him. We are now happy as pigs in shit :D All we gotta do now is wait for them to sort the work visa out. |

Re: Yay
Or not as the case may be, at the moment this seems to be off the cards, as although the people who would be my managers are all happy with this their HR in their infinite wisdom have deduced that it would take too long to get me there so this won't be happening now :(
The brown stuff happens I guess, but to be so close is ever so slightly irritating! |

The brown stuff happens I guess, but to be so close is ever so slightly irritating! Hang in there I know exactly how you feel. Essencially I have been applying since 2001 with varying intensity and had a couple close calls, but in the end it always fell through. I am still scanning websites weekly and sending out 5-10 resumees a week. Something will stick sooner or later, and your chances will get better once you have PR. To Platty, Congratulations, hope it all comes through quickly now. It is actually really encouraging to hear someone who made it. :) :) |

Hey yeah - did you go to the CN tower yet??? Ha ha ha... oh and if you order the boneless chicken meal, there is a piece of bone sticking out of it - my BF - who doesn't like eating meat that has a visible bone on it - was told it was for decoration - HA HA HA! |
Re: Yay
Sorry to hear that Igni :( On the plus side it's looking good for getting a job when you get there if companies are that interested in your skills!
Best of luck, Biiiiink |
