Looking for a home every night job. Have spent 20 years in the oilfield on industrial engines. Looking to switch it up now. Have a young family and would like to be home more

Finning tech
Brandt tech
Truck dealer ship like Peter built
Trucking fleet company
Municipality/county mechanic
Forklift tech (seems to pay well and can’t see it being that hard of work)
Marine mechanic on ferries

Open to other idea also!

Wondering if anyone else has gotten told this before? Filed my taxes over a month ago now. Called today to see what the hold up is. I was told that my refund is on hold due to the CRA updating my account?

I asked for a time line and also asked what is being updated. They couldn’t answer any of the questions.

I also asked if the CRA will now be paying Interest on my refund as it is over the 30 days and the agent said that’s not their department and cannot answer. I asked to get transferred to the correct department and they would not due that

Curious how long they will drag this on for now

I’ve noticed a lot of their job postings are always temporary or fixed term contract. Especially for maintenance techs and operations.

Do these jobs usually lead to full time positions if they like and everything works out?

I would apply but these larger companies track how many jobs you apply for on workday and I don’t want to waste their time and interview and then ask if it can lead to a full time position.

Probably would be hard to find good talent with these job postings. Most people that are good have jobs and wouldn’t leave a full time gig for that.

Filed on April 21 and still not refund. Curious how long everyone is waiting

We are looking to possibly move to Kamloops to escape the 6 months of winter and very short summers

Just looking for some real world comparisons and the quality of life upgrade

I have heard many mixed reviews. Have heard the Kamloops lake is always cold in the summer due to the depth and gets very windy often

Any other lakes close by for tubing with kids and water sports?

Wondering what area everyone recommends to raise a young family,

We would be planning to live on the out skirts of Kamloops not near the city centre

Kamloops definitely seems to have a lot more blue collar type jobs and higher wages

Our hobbies are

Boating- which area has the better lakes for tubing/wake boarding and are less crowded?

Hunting-I would guess Cranbrook wins here

Kids activities and sports?

Better schools available?

We like the heat when we travel aboard so I think we could manage the heat in Kamloops

Housing costs honestly seem the same in both areas now. Kamloops definitely has a lot more houses with pools

My whole career has been industrial engines and large compressors.

My family is now looking to move to a new area with better weather and lifestyle for kids.

There is no oilfield work in that area so just curious what everyone would recommend switching into?

Seems to be a lot of equipment and HD truck jobs around. Haven’t worked on much equipment to be honest

I have been trying to leave a high paying job for a few years now but just can never get over the mental hurdle of it. I find it extremely difficult because there is always that inner voice saying “what are you doing, you know how much effort and schooling it took to make this income”

For context I’m 32 years old saved up roughly 860k that’s in mostly ETFs

Have 250k home equity and paid off vehicles roughly 60k worth

We live in a remote area with brutal winters and summers and have 2 young kids. But every year I plan to pull the trigger and move somewhere with nice weather but every year passes and we are still here. Not sure if it’s a greed issue or ego issue
