This is really addressed to those members in Canada. I friend of mine is contemplating moving to Canada with his family, to start a new life and knowing I have contact through this forum, asked if you guys could pass on some advice.

He is currently an owner driver of a Semi truck and is experienced in abnormal loads, ie, wide, overweight, over length, plant moving, etc., and travels throughout Continental Europe. He is also a trained welder, but is keen to turn his hand to anything. Not one for city or town life, he is interested in the more far flung areas so to speak. Any advice is welcome and I can pass it on to him.

thanks,
Richard

Career Advice Column
Dear Canjobs,

I am a British citizen seriously considering emigrating to Canada with my family (wife & daughter). I am a qualified fabricator / plater, welder, having served a 4 year apprenticeship (City & Guilds), with 12 years experience. I have spent the last two years working in the purchasing department of an engineering company, manufacturing specialist equipment for the glass manufacturing industry (worldwide). I now hold the position of purchasing manager. My question is what would be the prospects for employment?

Dear Peter,

Thanks for your email. I contacted Jonathan Bennett, Senior Instructor at Canadian Welding Skills (Welder Training Center)with your query. Here is his response:

"You don't need to be 'certified' to get a job here. Typically a potential employer, if needed, would test and certify you after being hired. In Ontario, a welder can only be 'certified' by the employer. A school such as mine, can test a welder, and issue a 'qualification record' which proves that they have the skills to do the welding. Final certification is done at work.

You would have NO problem getting a good paying job, after you go through the immigration process."

I hope this helps.


Regards,

Jonathan Bennett
