Hey guys,
My name is Andrew, I'm 18, and I'm from Minnesota, USA. I heard a report a while back regarding the oil found in the sand around Alberta. I heard that the jobs are very high paying.
I was just wondering if any of you might have more information about the oil-related jobs in Canada.
I would appreciate any insight,
Thank you;
Andrew

I may be able to help you Andrew. I was involved with a consulting firm in 99 in the Syncrude plant just north of Ft. McMurray, Alberta. And also in the three following years in engineering projects for 2-3 months at a time. Yes, the money is very good but the conditions are not what I would want to be stuck in for very long. At the Syncrude plant and the Suncor plant It smells sort of like sticking your head in a drum of Diesel fuel. For a young guy starting out and trying to get a trade or trying to get a start in almost any occupation it is a great place to go. One more thing though, if you go up there be prepared to pay big money for a place to stay. It's best to have a job to go to and if you have any work experience background there are many companies in Edmonton who hire from there for the tarsands. If you have a trade you may be able to live in a camp with room and board porvided. Any other questions let me know via p.m. if you like.

Andrew,
My advice is to stay in the states until you have got a job lined up over the phone.
Canada Customs is going to want to see a work visa`(unless you lie).
Work visa's are no problem for the Canadian company who is hiring you to provide.

Also you could always try for a working holiday visa
Quoting Trex
Correct me if I’m wrong, if you live in Europe they are not going to batter an eye lid employing you over the phone
