I could write a book about this company.They promise to sponsor families to stay in canada through the pnp system after 6 months but that is bull.They sacked me after 7 months .We alerted the gov of Alberta they are just as bad running with westcan to fuel the economy of Alberta.We have major evidence against westcan and the Alberta gov we are in the process of finding more families who came back to the uk.Also have alerted canadian immigration as they are unaware of how westcan exploit foreign workers and how alberta gov are covering up for them.We stuck it out for nearly 2 years trying are best so if anyone tells me we did not give it long enough that is a load of crap. Nobody wanted the canadian life more than me and my family we fought till we couldn't fight no more.I will expose these rats as i would't want anyone to go through one minute of what we as a family had to endure.Come on all you ex westcan employees lets get toghether and help each other.MY VOICE WILL BE HEARD AMONG ALL THE CHAOS!!!!!!!!

Didn't graham (gremie) work for Westcan before moving to Spirit? if it was westcan i know he was happy with the way he was treated but didn't like tanker work in the snow and ice.
Whats your opinion (graham) mate?

Hi Tinni, I also worked for westcan from 2004 until 2006 and I agree they are the most corrupt bunch of assholes I have ever met and would'nt advise anyone to work for these pricks..I did get my paperwork but it was hard to stick there and no steve I could'nt change companys because back then they would'nt allow you to. Believe me you may no a few people who are happy there but I worked out of saskatoon and I would say 95 % left as soon as they got there paperwork and there are not many with 1 good word to say about them. I have told storys about westcan on here before but people just think I'm a whinging dick so I usually keep my feelings to my self now, so good onya tinni the more fresh drivers you put off working for westcan the better they will be. Bring these corrupt b@#@#@#s to justice I am 100 % behind you....All the best in the uk ...chris

Hi Jasper
why didnt i change companys, yes i did this took 4 months i had to live on the money we brought over with us to survive.You have no clue what we had to go through as a family.I am not willing to tell people ,but beleive you me the gov in alberta know what is or was going on down there.I have a whole load of evidence to support my case to prove that Westcan are corrupt.I am over in the UK looking for as many ex westcan empolyees as poss.Then i will be willing to share what i have on them,and this is big.Nobody wanted the canadaian life more than me and my family and we stuck it for just short of 2 years and went through sheer hell.If westcan had been truthful and helpful from the beggining we wouldnt have been in a bad situation for the time we were there.We did receive are PR however how we got this is another story.They destroyed are life and that of many more i will carry on till i have justice for me my family and everyone.Canada is a beautiful country but there are a few ugly companys who exploit FW.Westcan are just probably the worst or was.

wouldnt bother with this company, applied via email, got a positive response so faxed all my paperwork over to them (21 pages at £1.50 a page) applied for, recieved and faxed over my police check and despite several emails from me just asking them to confirm that they recieved the faxes (dont want all that personal info going to the wrong place) i havent had any response at all in 5 weeks, very disheartening, a simple sorry your not what we are looking for, all positions filled, get lost would have done. oh well back to the drawing board
