    Question Hey Canadians, I have some questions, eh.

    When I leave here I want to get into some seasonal work in the North West Territory and in order to be eligible I have to be legally able to work in Canada. Most of the companies I looked at stated they only hire Northerners, but a few said they will also consider non Canadian residents who are legally able to work in Canada. I have been able to find very little on this subject, can any of you help me figure out what I need to do?

    The NWT and Alberta is where its at in Canada. In Alberta /saskatchewan and the north west territories there is a huge labour shortage. Getting a work visa shouldnt be too hard. I know when there was a trucker shortage in alberta they brought in alot of australians so if they need you bad enough they can get your paperwork pushed through in a hurry.


    What trade are you going to work at in the NWT. The oil and gas industry or the mining industry. Or did it just seem like a nice climate to visit.

    Thanks Yamad, that does help.

    Hey now, I spelled it correctly once, that is all I have to do.


    The climate would be nice after being over here. But, the ice road is what has my attention. There are several jobs out there I more than qualify for and I would like to get into at least one of them.

    I was a truck driver over here, so I would have no trouble with that. I would be willing to do it, but I had another job in mind.

    Everyones right, out west there is a HUGE push for trades/skilled labour. Right outa college there is literally people waiting for you when you walk out the doors asking if you want a job.

    You make TONS of money, but it also costs an arm and a leg to live there. Trick is to live like a hobo and work like a dutchman and save all ya can and go back "home".

    I think the local mcdonalds worker makes something like 16-17$/hr but it costs SO much for food/rent/living that it all equals out.

    IF you want a job, thats the place to head. Once I get my millwright ticket outa college im thinking about it. Going to live in the back of my toyota 4runner for 2 years!

    I live like that over here. I keep the bare minimum. I only want winter work though, so I dout I will have to worry about rent.
