Hi all

As the title says Im new to the forum although I have read a load of posts prior to registering.

I am currently researching all things canadaian and hope to convince the better half that immigrating is the way forward as the UK/Scotland is going to the dogs and is becominning and increasinglly depressing place to live.

I have done loads and loads of research and have pretty much convinced myself that Alberta is the place for me but I have a couple of questions if anyone can help me out.

I have completed a four year apprenticeship and gained an NVQ level 2 and 3 in Heating and Ventilation installation, I worked on the tools for about 9 - 10 years then moved in to the office and have worked as a mechanical project manager for 6 years, unfortunatly I have not re attended college and turned my expierence into qualifications.

My question is would my expierence be taken into account when looking for employment or would it be wise to go to college and further my education prior to arriving in Canada. If so where is the best place to research the best way forward for training.

I know this all a bit long winded and any help would be appreciated ideally from anyone who is working in the plumbing or heating industry within Alberta

Many Thanks Phil


My God I do go on a bit
