(from the article) Quote“This is an opportunity to give another option to those who have given a lot to their country and their military as they reintegrate into civil life. Those are our allies, they’re our partners, and if we have jobs available, we will make a point of giving those opportunities to them first.” Contract jobs in Alberta’s oil patch and provincial legislation are touted as being more responsive to reservists and American National Guardsmen who may be called up periodically for service or training. These are high-paying jobs in the oil/gas sector of western Canada. Everything from driving trucks and camp cooks up to construction workers and drilling tech's. In the news, the multi-national and domestic employers have indicated they will assist and fast-track work visa's for foreigners who qualify. http://www.edmontonsun.com/2012/07/11/lukaszuk-liaises-with-army Sure, it's Canada. But you might be surprised and actually discover a nicer, gentler, welcoming kind of place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a good resource for job-search & contacts: http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/ns/lmi/workplace/jobs/abta/abta.shtml (Incidentally, many of the jumpers at one of my favourite progressive DZ's are currently engaged in the oil/gas field in Alberta.)
