去年来到这里工作时听到的最多的词儿就是LOA,可是我们却是啥也没有而且公司也只提供2.5月的camp,然后就不得不搬到城里来住了。( n/ w  n, U% g2 Y4 @

我想问一下我听人讲加拿大有个在北部工作的补助,而不是像电工工会/agency提供的那种令人眼馋的补助。这个补助叫什么名字是谁给的呢?政府还是公司?

you will get some money back when doing your tax.

As I know, if you work here for more than 6 months, and you have rent agreement with your landlord, you will get some money back when doing your tax.

As to the flight credits, I sure haven't heard about that from any of the folks here I know, it may exist, but the only travel credits I remember from Revenue Canada are those for travelling due to medical or employment purposes. I might be wrong....and believe you me, next tax return I'm gonna find out for sure!" ]0 q' a8 n8 g% R

7 z- X6 ?3 y, K+ v  \5 bAs per cost of livng, quality of life etc..do not move here unless you already own a home with lots of equity or have lots of $$ for a downpayment for housing. Yes..mobile homes start about $250,000, most starter homes start about $350,000. Renting...forget about it...$1500/month for 1 bedroom is normal...

The people, are younger and wealthier (and a lot more males vs females) here then in comparable Canadian Cities. Pace of Life, and driving attitudes ..are at a breakneck speed.

The oilsand plants run 24 hours, so half the city is sleeping at any one time, and half are working. City businesses (outside the oilsand industry) have a huge struggle finding and keeping employees, everyone wants to get an oilsand job..the result is that you get shoddy service in all retail stores and restaurants.

Besides its negatives...Ft. Mac. is what you make of it...like any other place to live .
