job offer

[IrishJourneyman]

Hi All

I got a job offer in Alberta as a plumber for $35 is this the norm? with no perks i pay and sort out my own visas i pay for my own flights. and was not guaranteed more than a 40 hour week.

I was also informed that when i go on a TWP I'm tied into that company until i get a permanent visa.

Does anyone know of companies offering allot better than this ?

I am hoping to get over on a immigrant nominee program.

I have not accepted the job offer yet as i felt as if they held all the cards.Its to far to go for uncertainties.

After all i would like to bring my family out there too. So everything has to be right.

1) it appears to be a good wage to me. A 40 hour week is probably mandated by law with any excess being overtime,
2) if you wish to change employer while on a TWP you need to find another employer holding an open LMO.
3) deciding not to go to Canada is your prerogative. There are many more who do desire to park themselves here. Emigration is a risky business, but many do it very successfully.

It probably for you but not for me. I'm on that here.

$35 = €27 an hour and taxed on that.

Do you still think that's good?

Are you a tradesman?

If you are living in Canada, stop doing your numbers in Euro's, as you have to pay taxes in Canada and are living according to the cost of living in Canada. Nu use of converting it into euro's, yen, roepies or whatever currency as you have to pay your food and rent in dollars.

If you're doing so well in Ireland why are you looking to move? Canada is not necessarily better for many people. It's just different.
