I enjoyed my time at siemens, some of the trucks and trailers are old.A lot of english guys work there. They haved called me a few times asking me to go back, I keep thinking about it. I think they are a good company.

Ok thanks guys, just waiting to hear back from them. I've had some interest from Gardewine if anyone knows any info them.

Ita a company I looked at when first looking at Canada. Got great feel from them and looking back now wished I had gone there rather than PEI.

They have various divisions within the company.

Cheers Dave

Like Vickysteve said, I enjoyed my time at Siemens too (Kindersley for me) and the driver supervisor (Darren Shawnsby (if he's still there)) is a real top bloke. Ask to speak to him if you have any questions. He helped me out w whole lot when I first got there in '06.
Good luck.

Cheers for that, always helps having inside information. I've had a positive response from a few companies and not the 'usual' suspects. Just waiting for final confirmation. Will keep ya posted. Hope your doing well.

Application on it's way now, SINP family class, Job offer secured, hoping work permit won't be too long, happy days!
btw Siemens turned me down which I was rather surprised about, perhaps the downturn had something to do with it? As it's turned out, got in with a very good smaller company so perhaps its fate! We are now counting down the days and can't wait to get over! See you there.

Well done,welcome to a more relaxed and very different world.Is your employer based in Dundurn ?

Gremmie

So where are you heading too then ???

Hope it's not First Continental who are the 'very good' smaller company.
