Re: Loblaw
I have another question? if you go after your own place, are there requirements ie paperwork etc you need to bring with you from uk to get a place ie reference from landlord, job etc?

Re: Loblaw
lol, depends when your going out tattoo, not going like i said till end of april, but was looking into getting an apartment as soon as i can depending on the job.
Hearing different story's on work so not sure if we will need one?
One of my friends rang up and spoke to transport supervisor and was told runs are possibly 1400 miles each way (4/5 days living in a truck) but on interview, i was told we would be back most days so not sure which it is, would prefer the 4/5 days, lol, but dont mind either

Re: Loblaw
Some places ask for references but they're not a requirement.
Look at Kijiji and UsedRegina for rentals, avoid Craigslist, full of scammers!

Re: Loblaw
I have been looking at rooms and apartments to rent and they dont seem silly money, i think i will stay in a hotel for a few nights and look at places to stay when im over there. They all look ok till you get there and they are miles away from anything or in a right crappy area.

Re: accommodation - my hubby is still in process of applying for his work permit for Loblaws job, so don't know when he'll be going out but he has a mate who is going out there and is renting a friend's basement. My hubby says he's going to get his mate to keep an eye out for other basements to rent to start off as me and the kids aren't travelling over until August time when we'll start looking for a house.

Re: Loblaw
should be canada bound at end of april/ beginning of may with loblaw.
Got my Temp Working Visa authorised by Immigration and i am supposed to collect it from the airport on landing in canada. Was sent an email (Authority Letter) by Immigration saying to take it with me to airport and show on arrival.
Q. is anybody else going out around same time?
Q. Does anyone know the format for accommodation/ transport on arrival
ie: Do we sort it out or does loblaw? costs for transport/ Accommodation?)
Q. Is transport laid on for the duration of the training (2-3 Weeks?)
Just trying to find a few answers so i know what to expect when i arrive
Any help would be appreciated

Transmitting instead of receiving in all likelihood, your an embarrassment, I hope I don't have the misfortune of meeting you out there.

This petty squabbling is why the people with yrs of Canadian experience dont bother helping people on this forum anymore!!:frown
spoilt1033 imo is just checking what he was told.. novacastare an attitude like that will get you nothing but trouble from the locals ...just pointing out mindrespect goes a long way.no point being a keyboard warrior.
and remember it doesnt matter if you have driven for 30yrs or 6months, when you come to Canada You will be treated like a newbie that doesnt know one end of the truck from another!!
You will have to prove to them that you are no billybigrigger and keep your head down and your nose clean.
from what i hear the jobs a good un so dont **** it up for the drivers following..
ohh and another thing dont bother giving me attitude back as i couldnt give a t..

Re: Loblaw
Are you some kind of clown ? Or do you just play at it? You have obviously been to the interview as has everyone else, what were you doing when you were told, very precisely what the job entailed and how you would met on arrival?

Re: Loblaw
Just a quick one to novacaster. If you worked for M&E in Kuwait then you'll probably know spoilt1033 & possibly me too! Personally I'm of the view you were out of order attacking spoilt over the questions he asked, at the end of the day there are folks on here that now have more upto date info of what's going on with the flights/accommodation
A the saying goes, the only stupid question is the one that's not asked!!

Re: Loblaw
No, I don't know spoilt or yourself as I left Kuwait after 4 months, as I was offered a longer term contract in Afghan. Okay maybe I was a being a bit harsh accepted, it is annoying though, we all had the same interview. Maybe it's just me but I think all the questions I had were answered clearly enough.

Re: Loblaw
So why come on here & try to belittle someone?
Yes we all had the same interview, that doesn't mean that the questions he asked were answered & in the stressful environment of an interview you don't always take everything in!
We're all making quite a leap going out there & we should be sticking together & helping each other not abusing each other!
