Job offer without papers??

[emma329]

Oh sorry thought u meant he was self employed but was a contractor for other people, surely his books aswell will add to references. All u can do is try. Where do u think the work is for the construction workers?

I think Saskatoon Emma, a friend of my husband just went over on speck and got offered 2 jobs (he has trade papers though!) he's heading over at the end of the year so hopefully he might be able to get my husband in.

Really Karen? Thanks. I've also been told Calgary so I'll check out these places. Xx

Your husband's clients would be a good source for references. It may be a problem proving that they are legitimate.

I think u might be right John, any other suggestions most welcome on how to get references. Karen

It could be different for chippies i doubt it though.

Hi Irishjourneyman,

Just came across this thought you might help. My husband completed plumbing trade but didnt pass the final phase 6 theory exam. Passed everything else. So he completed the 4yrs in fas and has been working in this field since. So fas and jobs he has completed over 15 yrs in plumbing. He also holds the GIS & GID Gas certs. Would this be similar to your situation ? Did you go for certification in Canada. Where abouts you based.Thanks a mill, sorry for all the questions.
