My, how time flies by!!
3 1/2 years in Canada
Hello again.
My apologies for the delay in updating the site, but things have been a little hectic. I no longer work for Bigfreight. I shall leave the links in place because it seems pointless to remove them. They still hire drivers from overseas so they are a prospect for the drivers looking into moving. I am going to update things as I go along, so please be patient.
Changes that have taken place.
After a second year on the Winter Roads, I came to a parting of the ways with BFS. I actually only really had trouble with a couple of people as I have never been one to hold back once I get into something. It got pretty unpleasant, and I need not say much about it. I found another job, despite my not having Residency at that time, and started out on the same job under a different flag. I had some interesting jobs, I can tell you..
In August 2008, we were granted PR. This was despite my wife getting cancer. A word of advice to prospective immigrants- DO NOT ACCEPT THE WORD OF ANY EMPLOYER IF THEY SAY CANCER IS EXCLUSITORY!!! It may be, but it may not. You have to find out on an individual basis. I know of one driver who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at his PR medical, and he still was allowed to stay.
After 6 months with Flying Eagle, I managed to secure a job with Keystone Western, based in Ile des Chenes, just South of Winnipeg. They have been superb!! Long may it continue!!
