Hey Puckers,
As most you of you know i live in the states. My wife is from Calgary and we go to visit , mostly around Christmas. I live in Branson , Missouri and both my wife and I have jobs that depend on the tourist economy. My wife dances in a show and I sell timeshares. This year we were thinking we would spend 3 months ( the Branson off season) in Calgary. The only problem is i would need to have a job during that time. I have talked to a couple of Canadian Immigration Attorneys and it looks like i have to a job lined out to even apply for a Visa. Apparently there is some sort of process the employer and employee have to go through to make this happen. There is a certain Immigration Attorney on this board that said they would help us/me out in this situation. I am only writing here just because i have been writing here for a little while and have met many friendly people, and because the lawyer said i should start pretty soon.
Anyway if this works out I will be in Calgary the middle of December - the end of February. I am 26 and a very dependable person. I am currently working on finishing my degree in Secondary Education. I also currently sell timeshare. I have worked in sales for the last 3 or 4 years. Ideally I would like to get a job in sales, marketing, or customer service. My dad owns a construction company so i did that growing up. I must admit though that i am horrible at it, my father and brother are incredible at it but i got the short end of the stick. I always played 4 sports a season and my dad said keep playing sports cause your horrible at construction. I am just putting that out there, as i most likely will not turn down a job but i don't want to be a burden on anyone's business either.
I appreciate all of your help. If need be I will be in Calgary the week of July 20 - July 27 for my wedding. If you needed to meet with me or something maybe we could work out something then. I am already married ( have been for a year march 26) but a lot of her family didn't get to come so we are having another ceremony. Just PM me if you can be of assistance
Thanks,
Nick
P.S. GO FLAMES GO take the cup!!:D
