Thread: Air China Vancouver base

It is, but it's been 10 years abroad for us and it's time to comeback, my wife said

Of course, if you are a Canadian living or having residency status in Canada you will pay taxes in Canada. You might also have to pay taxes in China. Check twice.

"DAYS OFF A minimum of 7 consecutive days free of duty per month with the probability of the figure being as high as 10 days per month"...

Contract work is crap. Dont do it if you are relatively happy and fence sitting. In my mind contract work should pay more than the good jobs because companies save alot on pensions and beni's and basically not being tied to the employee too much. 1 year contracts "renewable"?? What a joke. 1 year on and some manager doesn't like you or you call in sick a couple times and you get the door. Forget it. Think Im...
