I consider myself lucky, and work 28 on 28 off, but my days can get long and boring, I'm basically on for 14 hours, but I plan the days activity, go to my days location, sit there for most of the day in a noisy environment, and get back, just in time for duty days end.

Finding an "easy" job in Canada at this time, when guys are struggling to find even a little work is not really feasible in my opinion. But others have prevailed, so best of luck to you!
