Replant.ca - Tree Planting Canada

You can get a three year work permit after attending college/uni for two or more years . I believe that after you've lived in Canada for three years, you may apply for your citizenship. If you attend school for less than two years, you may get a work visa equivalent to the amount of time you attende...

Now, what's this spraying thing all about? What month(s)? Pay?

Did you have to also be the safety and first aid person?

What is this "beetle work" I have heard a few planters mention? Not on this threat, but I've heard of it twice now.

Do these illegal workers often get caught? I met some people in Kelowna cherry picking who spoke of working either for cash or on other people's SIN.

The U.S. Forestry Service is an okay option because government jobs offer great benefits, but I don't know if any of those jobs fe...

I'm years and years away from being experienced enough to think about that. I mostly put it there for others. The main point was to share information regarding work elsewh...

I'm an American, message me if you'd like my CV and phone number. No third paycheque fever here, especially if the prices in the U.S. really are as dismal as I've heard. I have way too much student loan debt shackling me down to be able to walk away from any job.

I'm an American who has already planted for one season. I should be doing it again this season if my work visa extension goes through. Last season, it was with a small company and only lasted two months. This season, it is with a much larger company that provides work throughout much of the year aft...
