How hard is it to become a citizen? I've been considering relocating for some time now, Ive been thinking about moving to northern Arizona. I also thought if i go WAY north i can get a J-top turbo diesel <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and i like that idea. What kind of wheeling is up there? Is the mining industry booming? Are there plenty of Caterpillar dealerships for me to find a job at? where are most of you guys located? hows the real estate market? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Lots of Cat dealerships and jobs seam to be plentiful. Housing depends on the city where you want to live. We do have higher taxes but we don't have George bush!!!! Ha Ha

We're not really THAT far north...

Here's a large CAT dealer, across western Canada... I even pulled up this employment opportunities page for ya!

If you had a job, I can't imagine moving here would be a problem... oil and gas is still booming, though there is talk of a slowdown - wheeling here is not as good as it once was, but there are still plenty of places to go... esp south and west relative to Calgary... if you wanna check out wheeling in this area, check my club's site www.cn4xc.com .

In the meantime, Canada is a big country, so it all depends WHERE you wanna go <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

WOW! i'm doing work for finning right now, I'm working on the 793 Axles they sent down here. Small world. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

There's a cat and finning place strait north of Calgary. 15 minutes away from Phil's place. I think Phil has a spare room. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

I'm going to submit my resume to finning, once i finish it.
What's avg pay rate for welders in Canada? I don't want to lowball myself. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I will see if I can find out for you. It will be a ticketed rate so it should be the same or close to across the board I'm assuming. One of the guys who helped build my buddies cage works for that cat shop by calgary as a welder. I'll see if we can track him down too.

Looks to be over $30

I can proof your resume for you if you like (not saying you need it, just throwing it out there - being a teacher doesn't afford one many opportunities to extend professional courtesy, but proofreading is a specialty! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Oh, and there will be a shorty paj forsale soon, to tie you over till you get your J-top imported. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

sweet so 28+ is what i'll shoot for, is that decent?
Once i finish my resume i'll pm it to you phil. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I took a Canadian visa eligibility assessment, and i was just short on points. I'll have more than enough if i can have a job arranged. So i'll be submitting my resume soon.
