Read First: Welcome to r/UAtravelersCAD 🍁

Good intel is crucial when hitting the road. This community was built to give pipefitters & welders—and all UA brothers and sisters—a dedicated, welcoming place to share what’s happening on the ground across Canada.

To help everyone stay working, here is the kind of information this community is looking for:

  • Job Status Updates: What sites are currently ongoing, who is actively manning up, and where the layoffs are happening.
  • Travel Card Intel: Updates on which locals are currently accepting travel cards, along with any solid rumors about when specific sites will be hiring or laying off travelers.
  • Call-Out Resources: Direct links to job boards and call-out lists from different UA locals are highly appreciated.

This kind of real-time information is invaluable for anyone working out of their home local. Please share what you know and let's help keep each other working.

Welcome to the board, and stay safe out there!
