Re: Got an Interview with H&R
it will suit me better as it gives me time to settle in to the job without worrying about everything else.

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
Not true, you can approach another firm and ask for an LMO, then sort out a new TWP to start with them. Unless something has changed.

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
Hi Mickfly,
i take it that there have been some developments ?
Have you had previous experience with them your self,
They seem to be the only company around who will support people through the process from Interview to licence to starting?
I have a question or two for you
If i get the job in March,will my visa allow me only to work for them or if things dont work out can i carry on with another company say after 3 months or must i stay until i get PR.

Why do you think they 'seem' to be the only company who will "support people through the process from Interview to licence to starting"
Any company who wants Temporary Foreign Workers will have to support you all the way to when you drive off in their truck, and some will pay for everything along that path.
Don't mention that you have been on forums at the interview, seriously.

Some do well there, some don't,
Talk to current drivers, find them through facebook... https://www.facebook.com/hrbulletin?fref=ts
Obviously the link takes you to where the positive posters are, so just dig deeper for an up to date balanced view from current and ex drivers.

in your experience what was the problem,if they are like UK fridge companys they want it hard and fast,lots of night running etc.
to be honest as long as they give me a truck with brakes and lights,and pay me what they say they will pay me without trying to stitch me up,and give me the miles im ok with the rest of it.
and if it does not suit me then i shall try and get on with another company if they have LMO for me while im there.
who do you know that is after driver's with the LMo.

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
Be careful with h&r, a mate of mine that worked for them said the Brit drivers get great millage for the 1st 13/14 months then it drops off heavily after they get the $5000 from the authorities. They went through 300 drivers in 1 year while he was there! He was there for 4 years because he had gotten a visa that gave him 10 years access to the US

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
@ gremmie, just going on what I was told by a former colleague & I had it confirmed at my interview with h&r that he stayed with them for 4 years. Have seen similar statements on here in the past about h&r having a high turn over of drivers
@ meritor, I've just accepted a job with a Saskatchewan company that said they'd love to recruit for their Calgary depot but that Ab weren't giving out PR, that's why I asked on here in another thread about what's going on with AINP

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
Once again the H&R debate has started.
I fly out to Calgary on the 27th March to start with H&R. There are lost of horror stories and pissed off drivers. But like all large companies there are some who love it and some who don't.
I don't form any opinions of people or employers until I have experienced it first hand.
I have started a blog for those that are interested in following my journey.

Re: Got an Interview with H&R
Be gentle I'm new to the forum.
I have an interview with H&R her in the UK?
Any advice?
Me and my girlfriend are looking at the big move over to Canada, AB.
I have read a few bad comments but on looking at other forums they seem to have "Got their act together".
Thanks
