Re: Where are all the jobs hiding in Canada?

Re: Should I go home without my fiancé?

Re: Airport agents and all the typing they used to do.

I didn't use a windows based system, we were still on SABRE when I worked check-in and baggage claim. Most of it was 2 character codes (one alpha on numeric) to get people checked in and assigned...

Re: Where to live in Calgary and Commuting

The footbridge at Anderson station gets you across McLeod to Southcentre mall. You would have to find a way of getting to the bridge first. Canyon Meadows is pretty much the same, it's just to ease...

Re: Back to the UK for a potential spouse or stay in Canada

Re: Calgary Oath Ceremony - How Many Family/Friends?

I did mine in Calgary at the Harry Hays building in 2013 and was allowed to sit wherever I wanted and next to my guest, as did everyone else there.
