Hi

I'm planning on moving to Canada in early Aug 2012. I have worked in construction for the past 10 years as a on site engineer / foreman. At the minute i'm not sure what province / city to move to.

Can anyone tell me what province/city that there are alot of construction going on at the minute? I have been told that this province is Saskatchewan, can anyone confirm?

Thanks alot for your replys

I would like to relocate to a province / city that has a bit of life but also there are a lot of construction going on where it may be easier to pick up a job?

Okay. There's lots of construction projects in Toronto which also probably has the best nightlife in Canada.

Thanks for reply.
Yes i thought about Toronto, but from reading posts on forums it sounds like everyone is going there and there are alot of competition for jobs. Is there anywhere else that you know where there is a boom in construction (they are really building up a city)

Do you work in the construction sector, in Canada?

Yes Toronto is popular but there is a reason for that. That's where many jobs are. No I am not in the construction industry.

Thanks Andy H for the reply

I'm from a town called Rathmullan, are you from Donegal yourself?

I will do a bit of research on Saskatoon. Do you work the construction industry out there yourself and is it a nice place to live?

What's the price of live like where you are?

From Carrick originally, over here this last 2 weeks working for a consulting Engineering Company but I speciallise in Wastewater. Saskatoon is a nice place, cost of living reasonable, probably cheaper than Calgary and WAY cheaper than Toronto.
