Hi, yea, Canada is awesome. But you will need a Work Visa to be able to work here. In some cases it could be very difficult and long process.

Check out this link....Canada Work Permit

Hope that helps a bit.

Cheers!

There are lots of jobs in alberta, apparently. They`re so desperate for workers in the customer service jobs that they pay around 15 bucks an hour to work at tim hortons (donut shop). And 15 Canadian Dollars!

Heh, I guess Canadian dollars is a good thing lately, isn't it.

Well, I'm not sure what my opinion on the value of the Canadian dollar being so high is.

I live in Sault Ste Marie, a border town. So, to get some cheap goods (gas, milk, tools...etc.) its a lot cheaper to cross the bridge to the States to get it. A good thing.

However, every time I do that, I'm putting some poor Canadian slob out of a job. A bad thing.

But in this town, the effects could be severe. This is a "steel town". If no international companies want to buy our steel because it's too expensive...lots of people will loose their jobs. A very bad thing.

Besides the steel plant, we also seem to have an over abundance of call centres here in town. People I know are already losing their jobs because it is much cheaper now for the call centres to be in India. If your computer is broke, I suggest you call tech support now while you can still understand the guy on the other end.

All I really know is that it's gonna suck for chronics in the States cuz their seeds and the tons of BC Bud that gets shipped down is going to be more expensive for them. I also know that my copy of High Times will still cost me 30% more regardless of whatever the CDN dollar is at. Go figure.
