    Hi Dealdish im actually in Ireland, im waiting on my paperwork to come through before i can go over and work. I got a job with an electrical company in G.P. Im moving over with my girlfriend and 7yr old son. Yeah its expensive in G.P but they have the good wages to compensate. Excavator operator and hospital job should be well paid jobs, i think a move is more reassuring when you know you have work lined up for when you get there.

    Hello all,

    I'm a documentary maker and I'm looking to speak to people who have emigrated to Canada from Ireland. Please DM if you have time for a chat. Many thanks, Ciara
