Hi all

After giving up on the idea of emigrating to the USA, I have decided that canada is now a safe bet for my kids future.

I was just wondering if anyone one knows much about the canadian regs and if I need a licence to work.

I take it they use much the same as the USA

PELCO, GE and DSC 2 way audio alarms

Anyone worked there, Nova scotia is one are we are consdering the other is Winnipeg

Thanx

Chris

hi Chris,

all i know is from a 'wickers worl' report, (at the time) Montral has the highest divorce rate and Vancouver has the highest suicide rate amongst lawyers in the world.

watch where you park, they have private contractors on the prowl who can lift any car in 20 seconds . if it happens to you you go the pound where you charged the trip from the pound to the car and back again, plus the fines - very very expensive.

in the pound the clerk is behind a 6" thick bullet and blast proof glass - now i just wonder why

well not 1st hand,

http://www.canasa.org I assume asking this mob may be a start

I know of someone who went to dsc, tales of a full mocked house inside their factory with their kit install as training suite, did a few yrs then can back to the uk

Vancouver has the highest suicide rate amongst lawyers in the world.

Result! Sounds like a great place

just like the pound up at vauxhall then

A quick post on the newsgroup alt.security.alarms might be an option as there are a few canadians on it.

One guy in particular, I think his name is Robert Campbell is very helpful. From talking to him in the past a lot of his work comes from take overs of the nationals

just like the pound up at vauxhall then

i worked on external security systems their and agree,

in that program one 'punter' about 6.9 ft high x same wide kept asking for his car, the clerk about 4 ft nothing woody allen impersinator, kept asking for the fee's. then the punte looms up at the window and says a classic "why don't you put an apple in your mouth an become a regular pig".

the obvious sheer venom left no mistakes about the need for level of security shield needed

I am from Canada and just got into the industry.

To be an alarm technician here in Canada you need your CANASA level 1 cert, there is another test after this one as well to become fully certified.

It is an open book exam.

Canasa has a priority to reduce false alerts and false alarms in the industry and also to make sure everyone has a good understanding of industry practices before they get going.

I am in the process of getting my cert right now.

Take care! Good luck.

By the way, Saskatoon is a beautiful city in Saskatchewan that is growing at a rate faster than any other city in Canada right now. Lots of jobs.
