Vacancies in Regina (sshhh don't tell the mods)
I would like to report on a meeting I had today with a major supermarket chain who have recently opened a new distribution centre in Regina SK.
They are looking to recruit 24 British drivers initially through the PNP immigration system,although if all goes to plan there will be a lot more vacancies soon.Shifts are to suit,within reason,eg 4+4,5+3.
The money is ok but not brilliant,however,anyone currently looking to bail out of the UK and doesn't relish the thought of longhaul trucking could do a lot worse.
Would like to put contact details on here but it appears that the mods will have a hissy fit,helpful as always
,so pm me if you are interested.

Be nice if you could explain why the change of heart (without insults this time 
)
I mean you were telling everyone to avoid this job like the plague two days ago , Or did the Geordie win you round ?

Re: Vacancies in Regina (sshhh don't tell the mods)
I thought about the not brilliant money and the easy PR that this job is promising. But if you were to go to somebody like Billy Bison who has expensive immigration agents; wouldn't the better pay make them equally attractive? The bigger outlay would soon be re-cooped.
I won't write too much, thread might disappear and I'd be wasting my time.
Let's see what happens this time.

Charming. You are more than welcome to post details, as long as you don't put somebody else's personal info on a public forum (i.e. their email address or tel number). A job advert or website is fine, as are general details, not sure why you think they wouldn't be?

Re: Vacancies in Regina (sshhh don't tell the mods)
The company should be paying flights for the employee under PNP regs,but that's where their responsibilities end,check with the company.
If anybody is seriously interested they should source somewhere to rent then do the sums.If the wife/partner also works it could be a quick route into Canada,if the driver is the main bread winner it might not be realistic for some,horses for courses etc.
Do the research/homework before getting too carried away with the dream.

Re: Vacancies in Regina (sshhh don't tell the mods)
What way does it work with your hgv licence coming from the uk?
Is it recognised when you swap over the licence? Or do you have to do any tests?

Re: Vacancies in Regina (sshhh don't tell the mods)
I've seen this company mentioned on other trucking forums. I must admit it sounds tempting. I haven't been on her for quite a few years but glad to see some names I remember.
Simon and I are now looking to move out to Canada within the next 12 months. Should have done it years ago when we first had the chance. If anyone could give me a few company names (I know a few but it's been 5 years since I was on the ball) I would be grateful.
Cheers x x x
