If you don't want advice then why are you posting on here? You've been advised that what you've been offered is a good wage in Canada. $35/hour/40 hour week is $73,000 p/a. Most Canadians would be delighted to make this amount.
Nobody is denying you the right to do the best for your family but you don't need to be quite so snippy.

What an attitude, IrishJourneyman

Maybe you can first research this forum a little bit better, and than make a list of people who get your permission to react, and others that are not allowed to react on your questions/statements.

Guys i am not going to spend my time arguing with both of you. We have all been quite snippy So now it STOPS!!!!!

Lets all get back to the topic i originally posted. I know guys that are there and were offered 4 flights back home a year they had allot more perks.

Again all I'm doing is trying to secure the best employment deal I can get.

Why not apply to these awesome jobs that these guys you know have gotten. I have been breaking my balls looking at jobs out there and have never seen one offer that much. Why would they when there is thousands of people looking for work.

And 35 per hour is excellent money. And unless you are in the mines in the dead of winter you may not get more than that.
And as for perks, companies pay medical, 401k, maybe relocation money, and training.

I understand you are trying to get the best you can, but get there, and if you find you dont have enough, it will be easier to find a better job when you are out there.

Another thing I would say is that if you are on 27 euro per hour with not enough work here, but you are getting a guaranteed 40hours over there, you will end up with more money.

As for thinking in euro if you will be dealing in dollars, I would agree with the others. When you are living in canada you will pay everything in dollars. Your tax is alot better in canada, you dont pay for health care. And you will have more bang for your buck than you do in ireland.

You are like myself, pay for your own visa and flights. But if you dont like it, keep looking. MAybe alberta isnt the place to go. HAve a look at saskatoon, or BC.

Huge amount of work in sask. thats where im off to. Im a welder.
Once you are there you can meet companies and get work much better.

Just have the job to get there

SINP are so easy to deal with and really nice. And it only takes about 5 weeks to get your nomination.

But the perks can be nice and canadian companies are very family orientated from what i have seen.
