Slashdot Mirror
Moving Between Countries?
An anonymous reader writes "In six months' time, I am packing up and moving from Australia (Melbourne) to Canada (Vancouver). I'm a qualified network engineer. What I want to know is, what sort of quirks and tricks I am going to have to get used to in the Canadian job market? I'm used to Australian recruiters, and all the hoops you have to jump through, but Canada may have different hoops. I've tried contacting recruiters directly for information but they don't really give out much, as I am not actually in the country yet and therefore not worth their time. Is anyone willing to share their experiences on making the big move from country to country?"
Don't forget to encrypt your data and load it up on a server. Wipe your drives seven times over... no wait, better yet just send them cleaned via post so when they try to jack your hardware it's pointless. They'll likely still take your devices just to be dicks but they'll be hard pressed to have a reason to keep them very long. ;)
