Well lads and gal's , long story short is that ill be moving away and working in Calgary for a year or so , starting in early/mid April . the company I'm going working for is putting me up for 2 weeks than after that I have to find my own place and car. I was hoping maybe someone here might be able to help me out till I get on my feet, like rent me a room or something till I get my own place. And keep an out for old cheep civic or something.Any help at all would be much appreciated , thanks for looking.

I can pass on more info though pm's if there's anybody really interested in helping me, like the address of the company that ill be working for, to give you idea where ill be commuting too and from . Thanks again.

Country is fucked dude. I haven't worked sence last June . Can't get a job. Them Irish boys will tell you what's its Like over here. Have they bin there for long??

Jez

HAHA I'm from near Brighton, Sussex so I'm fully aware of how "Great" Britain is doing.

I work for a trucking company and we have a fair few Brits working here.

That address is SE Calgary, probably in the industrial part of the city, Calgary has a fairly decent public transport service so you should be able to get around OK till you find a car.

Rico180

Sound for that jez, just trying to find and get as much info just to prepare before I go.
How long are you there yourself now?? Did you ever try to get on "ice road truckers" hahaha

ringle88

What kind of work are you here for?

Shayl

Calgary Apartments for Rent, Calgary Apartment Rentals, Apartments for Rent in Edmonton - RentFaster.ca is what I use for my accomodations

Your work location may not have any bus routes going to and from simply because of how out it is haha.

btw there are many cheap civics to be had for <500$ on kijiji

so best of luck and keep asking questions, we will try to answer them the best we can

Rico180

Cheers for that shayl.

eklips3

looks like you'll be working for tarpon.

good company. My friend used to work there as an electrician some years ago.

its really gonna suck for you if you have no car. its about 10 mins out from any neighborhood. living will be on the cheaper side if you want top live close to work as well. the east side of calgary is the older, more run down part of the city.
I wish i could offer you a room of some sort but i dont know of anyone renting or having any room in the house.

good luck to ya rico !

Cheers for that bud. 10min drive seems ok, I was doing 1h30mins to work , and same again going home for a few months.. , the first thing ill do is get a car I think. Yea tarpon is the company alright.
On another topic , what mobile phone company do people recommend ?? Who has the best Service and signal and is fairly cheep ??

RocketBUNNY

Hey Rico I'd say for a phone company either go with Rogers or telus they've never been to bad for me. I've been with telus for about 8 years and there a good understanding company with decent rates all depending on what options you want on your phone. For example I have a iPhone 4S with everything on it call display, voicemail, 10gigs data and 1000 anytime minutes and evenings and weekends free and evenings start at 5 or 6 can't remember. Any way hope that helps ya out a bit. Oh and like previous people have said looking on kijiji Calgary will help you find a car and a room for rent.

Rico180

Sound for that rocketbunny, yea that kijiji website seems to have everything on it.

RocketBUNNY

I guess I forgot to put what I pay for a phone bill lol it ends up being 120/mo and that's loaded right up you can get a descent plan for under 80

Rico180

Cheers for that rocket, seems like a good package deal, at home here it's 180/200 euro a month, with fuck all reciption , and signal, and fuck all free call Min.

AllGoNShow

I got a Toyota Previa, maybe Estima in your area haha just needs a driver wiper, a boost (maybe a battery) and a mattress in the back and your set! haha

Tarpon should be good for you, lots of welders required here if you know how to weld that's for sure!

Rico180

Cheers for the reply dude. I'm just on the look out for something cheep and cheer full for the moment. I'm surprised with the amount of jap cars I seen here all ready, within 48hrs. An Gray R32 , right hand drive civic, plus an sil80. I was going to see if the sil80 was for sale, but didn't have time to go in.
Yea tarpon is alright, great people over there. There seem's to be a shortage of welders here they were saying. I just hope everything works out. Im Still looking for a place to live.
