Re: URGENT-INTERVIEW WITH WESTCAN, ANY ADVICE...
Shady? the only thing shady is westcan. The reason we stayed in Canada is that the pnp office helped us get our papers (PR) why? because we had evidence in black and white the westcan were corrupt. Yes my hubby was sacked after 7 months with what they called "just cause" which means a justified reason.....BS! We asked too many q's and they got rid. But the evidence we had we took to the PNP office and they told us to " keep our mouths shut!" and they sorted it all out allowing us to stay. However, after all the crap and loss of money we had to endure we felt we could never be happy in Canada and not trust people after all we were screwed over big time. Everyone has a different experience I guess we were just unlucky. All I know is that westcan at the time we were there messed up some peoples lives with their lies. I am sure they will get their " just desserts".
This all reads a little to much onto the imaginative scale IMHO

The first company I came over with screwed me over, and the second guy still owed me money but I didn't start a personal vendetta against them. We all know its a gamble when we come over here!

Re: URGENT-INTERVIEW WITH WESTCAN, ANY ADVICE...
To all you immigrant guys who work for Westcan I am wondering if you could answer a few Q's for me.
Do you go out of Province-across state? and have days/ weeks away?
I hear that some just run to fort mac and back and home every night?
How long till you can apply for permanent residency?

I dont know if you read my post on this thread but i got messed about by westcan,from my personal experience i think there was something dodgy going on but i blame the canadian government for letting it go on.In MB the provincial government put a stop to it,now companies have to go thru the labour board to get the LMOs

When you say you got messed about can you let me know exactly what it was. I am in the process of finding other families.Are you still in Canada? How long before you got your PNP? Do you know anyone else who was "messed about"?
I don't understand what you mean by companies have to go through the labour board to get LMO'S. To hire foreign workers in Canada all companies have to have and LMO to get temp work permits for them. The company has to show evidence/ proof that they have been advertising for at least 3 months for Canadians to fill the post.The labour board after seeing this evidence/proof that canadians cannot fill the post will award LMO'S for foreign workers.There is no other way the government would allow work permits to be given without LMO'S.So I am puzzled by what you mean.You are right in thinking that there is dodgy goings on and I HAVE PROOF IN BLACK AND WHITE!

Re: URGENT-INTERVIEW WITH WESTCAN, ANY ADVICE...
At westcan i went for job interview ,driving assement etc but they didnt give me the job even though the assessor said i was one of the best british drivers they have had(i passed my class 1 in 1989).They handed me the cash from a desk drawer ,i didnt sign anything and was told to "enjoy the rest of my holiday",i felt it was a scam.I went to MB and i have my PR from there .What i mean about the LMOs is when i came over in 2007 the companies were using "recruitment consultants" who were charging the drivers $1000s for the LMOs ,Bisons "immigration lawyers" where charging $10,000 ,then the labour board put a stop to it,took more control .I paid $3000 but i got some of my money back after i went to CBC news as the labour board wouldnt help me .If you got proof try CBC ,there are alot of dodgy companies out there.

Everybody is an expert, why don’t the experience people who live and work in Canada just tell people who the best company’s are to work for, it’s like a big secrete so you can keep this site going.
All transport companies are the same to work for in regarding driving hours, you want good money you work long hours, its how the job treats you that means a lot.
Only for jobs with LMO, and let’s say in Saskatchewan.
Who’s best for paying for training?
Who’s best for flatbeds?
Who’s best for tankers?
Who’s best for fridge work?
Who’s best for van work?
