Vancover BC

I'm bored fed up and I want a change of life.

Anybody in BC out there can maybe shed some light on ATCO status etc in Van or surrounding area - me's got the tickets....

Unless one of your tickets is Canadian citizenship, forget it.

One of the TC atco's who was forcibly sent next door to AC a couple of years ago resigned fairly recently to join Nav Canada.

He was Irish (Northern I think), if that makes any difference

regarding work in canada, visit
www.canada.org.uk

it will tell you all about who is eligible to go there. there is a self-assessment form from which you can gauge your eligibility to live and work in canada. you basically need 70 points on their scale and I would estimate from the form that most UK atcos willing to give it a go would easily pass the 70 point mark. (assuming NavCanada offers you a posting).

by the way...

the Irishman in Vancouver has successfully validated, is having a great time and reckons he's much better off overall than if he'd stayed in the UK.

Thanks for that.

Does that fellow countryman of mine have an email address where I could ask him a few questions about Van?

Thanks in advance.

Arran,

Said Irishman was on my watch in TC before going next door. I'll ask around and see if anyone has contact details, I certainly saw him back visiting LATCC only a few weeks ago.
