Hi
I'm considering a move to Canada, can anyone who has already made a move and is working in safety comment on the job situation right now? Do many Canadian companies hire UK people?
I would be looking at a base in Alberta (Calgary) possibly.
I am CMIOSH but guess I would have to convert by quals to the Canadian equivalent to gain a position, my background is mainly engineering.
What sort of average salary is available for a qualified individual?
Do companies normally sort out a work permit or is that something you must do yourself before moving?
So many questions..........
Any advice/comment would be very welcome.

Posted By Jez Corfield Mart - Canada has a points based system, speaking french, having plenty of money and having a degree help. The benchmark is the CRSP - Canadian Registered Safety Professional, website below also includes jobs: www.bcrsp.caUnless you are moving to an area that is desperate for UK workers you would need to sort your own application out I suspect. In demand jobs also attract points and the canadian government publishes a list regularly, I havent seen H&S on it, but strangely if you can fix air-conditioning or cook you might stand a better chance, a doctor from asia who came into Canada as a chef initially. I suspect some of the provinces are keen to get UK workers in and operate a different or more supportive system, but the Canadian immigration department is the best place to start for that. Good luck, its a great country. Jez
