For those who applied to UA med and didn't do 6 years of high school in Canada, did you have this requirement listed on your portal? Did you have to actually do a english test(Ielts, Toefl, Duolingo) to meet this requirement? Can you share your experience to deal with this in prior cycles?

Thanks.

Note this is separate from "English language proficiency" requirement, of which i am exempt from 2 years of post-secondary education in a english-speaking country.

An aussie guy just posted he wanted to move to Canada in r/mining. There seems to be agencies that help aussies relocate to Canada. Was just curious as a Canadian, is there any agency that helps me to relocate to Australia? I'm a equipment operator (haul truck/dozer)

This subreddit popped up in my feed and was just curious how do you compare the brutal schedule in mining vs train conductor/locomotive engineer shifts?

In mining you usually work 12.5 hr with rotating day/night shifts. I started as 2*12hr days+1 day shortchange+2*12hr night shifts. Then four days off and the cycle repeats.

Was wondering how does this compete with your schedule at CN or CPKC which I know are quite brutal too lol. Although conductor rates are higher then mining entry-level rates.

Hey guys i currently work as a dozer operator at a mine. My educational background includes a bachelor's in mechanical engineering and a unrelated masters. I graduated few years ago in a down market and was not able to find a job in my degree area, so took a job as a haul truck operator.

Fast forward a few years-I now have upgraded to operating a dozer and while the pay is not too shabby, I would really love to have more responsibility and career progression by going the management/supervision path.

So I was wondering how should I set myself in a position to get offered a entry level supervisory role and higher(shift supervisor, eventually superintendent or general manger). I would be open to getting certificates, but since I already have a master's degree, so would not be open to doing a another degree such as one in mining, etc. Also I don't mind relocating.

Is there anything I should do to set myself on this path? Any advice/insight/perspective is appreciated! Thanks!
