Newmum0615: I read somewhere the car seat law does not affect taxis. Uber is considered a private vehicle that's probably why the uber driver declined. I'm guessing like everything in Canada, this will also depend on province. 1 Like |

Samsung works with most telephone service providers. I could not take advantage of a very good deal on Freedom mobile because of my phone. Huawei and Infinix might work with some networks but Samsung works with virtually all the networks. Not sure about Nokia Folafikemi: 1 Like |

Thanks for this timely and insightful reply, I must say that I really appreciate it. I read that Project management, IT and Construction are good and booming sector in Calgary right now. I have taken my time to check out some courses that are related with PM & Construction and others that I am interested in SAIT. These are some of it. - Applied project management certificate of achievement - Geomatic Engineering technology (Diploma-2 yrs) - Civil Engineering technology (Diploma-2 yrs) - Bachelor of Science Construction Project Management (Bachelor degree- 4 yrs) - Bachelor of Applied Technology Geographic Information Systems (Applied degree- 2 yrs) (1) What do you think about the above courses? (2) Do you think the certificate of achievement courses generally can get one a good job? (3) Do you know of any Co-op Program or those with internship in Calgary or Alberta generally? I kindly await your response and also contribution from our other seniors in Calgary. - In addition, does anyone has close and personal contact or link to any Realtor based in Calgary. I might also consider this too. I would like to ask some questions. Thanks salford: 3 Likes 1 Share |

Not exactly “we’ll informed” but from what I’ve read on the news, the previous liberal government made post secondary schooling tuition-free for low income Ontario residents. This created a $12 billion deficit and is not sustainable for OSAP. The new government is scrapping the tuition free policy and is reducing tuition fees across board for post secondary institutions by 10% beginning 2019/2020 academic session and then freezing fees for the 2020/2021 session. This does not impact eligibility for grants for students which are usually assessed when student loan apps are submitted. czaratwork: 3 Likes 1 Share |

Hello everyone, silent reader here. Please I need your advise on a couple of questions. Currently, I work in the oil and gas production sector (working on a FPSO) in the Gulf of Guinea as a production Technician. Checking on www.alis.alberta.ca I fall in the category of “field production operator”. Now my questions are 1. What are the chances of getting a job as a field production operator/technician. (Even if it’s a land location). I have been working in the O&G production line for about 7yrs+ Oil price is not encouraging O&G companies to go into new ventures right now but I believe production will still go on now matter how small. 2. Is it advisable I start working on getting EIT for APEGA (I have a petroleum engineering background), ASET (since the job I have experience in is more of a technician role) or I focus myself on getting a power engineering certificate. Any inputs will be appreciated as I’m just trying to prepare adequately while awaiting PPR. Thank you. @einsteino @salford � |
