Welcoming New Workers from Abroad
Foreign Worker Information
W-K Trucking Inc. is looking to
hire foreign workers to fill the labour shortage here in Alberta. We already
employ 13 Romanian workers here and they came to Canada by paying a 3rd
party representative to assist them with obtaining a work visa. You may use a 3rd
party representative if you want but we are prepared to help you get your work
visa. This will save you money and will allow you to bring this money to
Canada to get yourself set up instead of paying a representative. We think
there may be people in Romania who would be very good workers but may not have
the money to pay someone to find them work in Canada. Please take the time to
read the information below and use the email link at the end to either send your
CV or ask any questions.
