how do we find a job
Hi
My oh half and I have decided the time has come for a new life. We have been looking into moving the family to Calgary. However my husband is a drainage foreman here in the uk but has no real qualifications. Does anybody know if there is much chance of him getting a job in Calgary, and if so were do we start ????????

Re: how do we find a job
You start on Canadian job websites, particularly in Alberta. But you will face problem with your husband's lack of qualifications - he should immediately start looking how he can get trade certificate in his field. Some may get it on the basis of documented experience, sometimes with additional exam or two...

Re: how do we find a job
Thanks for your reply. my hubby has all the licences and tickets to operarte heavy equipment here in the uk, but for his job there is not really many other exams to take!! I have looked at a few websites but am not sure if the licences he has here will still be valid in canada. it is so confusing and we are only at the start!!!
