Hello everybody,

Could any of you tell me, about how is it working in Canada, please?

I’m specially interested in the following information:

1) Legal issues (Work permit)

2) Hourly rate expected for a planner/scheduler with over 10 years of experience

3) Companies developing large projects for the oil/gas industry

4) What location offers the best conditions to work in Canada

Thank you in advance.

    Hi
    I am contemplating emigrating to Canada and am interested in taking up a planning role in Vancouver if possible. Did you find any information about rates or work availability ?

    I’d be happy for any information you found out.

    Regards

    Fort McMurray, Northern Alberta is the best, $60+ /hr and 60-70 hr weeks. Oil & Gas
    You need living allowance too.
    Labour is so short they are importing from all over and getting permits for you.

    Hi guys,

    Check the tax system and climate in Alberta to make an informed decision. Climate - Cold round the year and snow most of the time, Taxes - Unlike other states I think there is not Province tax but federal tax is more than 40% (direct and indirect), because of construction boom rental prices have gone up.

    Cheers

The world’s image of Canada is as a cold place. While this is true - it can and does get very cold in Canada, temperatures vary throughout the year, and......"
