Hi Rhonda,



Of course, Canada is a beautiful place and the standard of living is good, I have studied in Canada and Worked in USA. But one does not need to live there to know the climate... we are talking about the climate of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Here is the weblink http://www.discoveralberta.com/TravelEssentials/WeatherClimate ----- this how the website says "If nothing else, the weather in Canada is always a conversation topic. 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......"

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

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

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.
