530.0. "Getting DEC CANADA jobs on VTX" by QUIVER::TOY () Thu Dec 05 1991 14:40

    Hi!
    
       After a quick review of old entries all harking back to the same
    question:  how does one get a listing of DEC CANADA job postings if
    it's not listed on VTX, I now pose some questions:
                                                     
     - Why aren't there Canadian job postings on VTX?
    
     - Has anyone bother to find out why or done something about it?
    
     - If not, where to start?
    
    When you think about, DEC has postings for the U.S. , Europe and
    the Far East so why not Canada?

    p.s. Moderators you may move this under one of the original job
    topics.  (I was hoping that maybe someone could this one some
    attention.)  Thanks.

530.1	Here's a wild guess...	VAOU02::BOTMAN	Pieter Botman - Vancouver EIS	`Thu Dec 05 1991 23:13`	12
	This is just a guess, not an explanation... I have seen very few postings on our notice board, and of the ones that are posted many do not cover relocation, even though they are for in Kanata, and elsewhere. Another factor might be that with a "managable" number of offices, people simply expect hard-copy postings to get the job done. Take that for what it's worth... The guess of an uninformed neophyte.
530.2	Good Question!	BRADOR::DAVY		`Thu Dec 12 1991 15:00`	11
	Good Question! Perhaps if you sent an EMAIL Message to Doug Tansley at MTS$::"KAO::DOUG TANSLEY" or Kathrine Payne at MTS$::"KAO::KATHRINE PAYNE" and ask them, the inquiry might bring a logical and intelligent reply. Who knows, your prompting might make the personel folks aware of the need! Good Luck..... B.D.
530.3	What's New??	KYOA::DUNAIEF	Moon Dancer	`Thu Apr 02 1992 19:45`	5
	Has there been an answer to this question?? I am also interested in the Canadian job postings, but I don't live in Canada, and I'm not on any mailing lists. BjD
530.4		CCAD23::TAN	Life is a bed of neuroses	`Mon Nov 09 1992 15:50`	11
	re -1, ditto. Also, could some helpful soul provide details on visa/permit requirements to work in Canada? Considering the DEC events of recent months, do the personnel names supplied earlier in this note, still apply? Any info muchly appreciated. joyce
530.5	Job cuts...	VAOU09::BOTMAN	pieter	`Mon Nov 09 1992 16:34`	13
	I think visa and immigration requirements are covered elsewhere. Jobs? I'm sure you read in Digital Review about 22,000 jobs cut worldwide. Well, some days after that, Ken Copeland (Subsidiary Manager, Digital Equipment of Canada Ltd CEO) sent out a memo announcing cuts of 230 in Canada. Cuts to be at least recommended (if not made) by Dec 1, if I read it correctly. Don't expect too many jobs, on VTX or elsewhere... Pieter
530.6		KAOFS::S_BROOK		`Mon Nov 09 1992 17:02`	9
	I don't know whether Canada issues non-immigrant work visas like the USA, although may now do so in the light of free trade. The best thing to do is ask your nearest Canadian consular office. Usually for Canadian visas of any kind, you apply to the local consular office. There rarely is any need to contact an immigration lawyer and when there is you will usually know or be told to. Stuart
