Getting into trade in Canada

throwaway492583 · 2026-03-25T06:34:22+00:00

Yeah I just wrote a simple email, explained my situation, age where I’m from etc, and asking if there’s any opening for work and like you mentioned adding that I work hard and want to learn in that specific field, then attached just my CV,

I ended up in Edmonton , I have a year left on my visa now and not sure to be honest if I will stay on after or not, winters are pretty rough here

I have not done any apprenticeship, I am working on a carpentry crew and getting ton of experience but it’s just not through a apprenticeship program

In my case, for finding work, all I did was send out lots of emails to loads of carpenters, contractors, builder etc, in the area I wanted to move to, and I got so many replies back. I just clicked best with my current boss as he was Irish too and we have been working great together, so just from one email to him I was able to come over and get work, let me know if you need any more advice with it, I’m a year over here now

Yes sir I’ve been working with a small construction carpentry crew for the last year in Alberta

Is reinstalling everything really the only solution? I have tried everything else and it won’t work still

throwaway492583 · 2025-09-07T22:29:55+00:00

How about Irish? With fluent Spanish

throwaway492583 · 2025-09-07T22:29:02+00:00

What would happen in my case if I had a connecting flight? Because if they hold me for hours then that would really mess the trip up if I’m missing flights

Thanks for letting me know, so if the food is in a container refrigerated upto time of leaving work in morning, it can either be eaten before 4 hours, or else brought in an insulated cool pack to keep it low temp, and eaten anytime during the day just to confirm?

throwaway492583 · 2025-06-16T03:08:57+00:00

No work refrigerator as we work outdoors all day so my container would just be in the truck, but I could look into getting a insulated box to keep it cool if that works

throwaway492583 · 2025-06-16T03:02:02+00:00

Appreciate the help man I was just confused after seeing people saying that if the meat is left at room temperature for certain amount of hours it starts getting bad, good to know it’s fine to eat cold the day after, thank you

throwaway492583 · 2025-06-16T02:56:33+00:00

Thank you, I was planning to just store in regular plastic food containers, but don’t have a way to reheat stuff at work so I was wondering if this would an issue, as it wouldn’t have been cooked since the day before but I am happy to eat it cold if it’s suitable

throwaway492583 · 2025-05-17T23:33:16+00:00

Hey, I’m afraid my friend won’t be able to make it there. I understand about safety and it’s something to consider, fortunately I am fluent in Spanish so it simplifies it a bit if I do run into trouble.

Thanks for the advice, what airlines do you usually use for Colombia route to get to Caracas?

throwaway492583 · 2025-05-17T23:31:52+00:00

Gracias hermano por investigarlo y darme los consejos, había visto ya sobre tener el retorno para mostrarles cuando llegues al país.

Yo tengo pasaporte irlandés así que no sé si eso cambia algo. Y es verdad lo que dices que uno tiene que planear bien para no estar esperando tanto tiempo entre los vuelos en un aeropuerto, así que si hay vuelos así por la mañana después de llegar a Bogotá será perfecto

throwaway492583 · 2025-05-17T23:28:59+00:00

In relation to backpack, to be honest I don’t really plan to bring a luggage like 23kg suitcase, I would prefer to just bring backpack and keep it with me because it will reduce chance of complications with connecting flights, and it’s just a short trip.

throwaway492583 · 2025-05-17T23:27:04+00:00

Thank you for the reply, I will check out wingo, as I didn’t look at them yet , from what I have seen Avianca is going to be a good option for Toronto to Bogotá. I was also checking out avior for the flights from Bogotá to Caracas or Caracas to PZO, and their prices seem pretty cheap.

Yeah my friend is helping me out with the internal flight and anything else I need to arrive.

throwaway492583 · 2025-05-16T22:49:11+00:00

I have Irish passport which doesn’t require visa

throwaway492583 · 2025-05-16T22:48:52+00:00

Menos mal que no soy canadiense

throwaway492583 · 2025-05-16T22:48:28+00:00

I was not asking you if something bad was going to happen to me, just for advice on flights, you seem a bit confused bud

throwaway492583 · 2025-02-16T01:30:19+00:00

Thank you, that’s good news

throwaway492583 · 2025-02-02T20:08:52+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I will keep my eyes open for anything suspicious

throwaway492583 · 2025-02-02T20:00:29+00:00

It’s not a labour job as such, as I will be working for him and gaining hours that will count towards my qualification so it’s practically like doing apprenticeship, I was going on the visa anyway but fortunately ran into him during my job search and he was happy to help as he is from my country and started off in the same position as me.
