Coal mines in canada?

Question

I have heard that the coal mines in canada cant get enough workers up there, so they are hiring people from anywhere. if anyone knows if this is true can u tell me and if possible where i can look into it.

Answer 1

Would likely be in British Columbia or Alberta.

Try Googling each of those two provinces + coal mining.

Answer 2

alberta is booming, pay is great, housing horrible, and you need some type of mine experience.

Answer 3

Employment possibilities vary, depending on what you can do there.

Western Canada is your only current hope.  Nova Scota has long been responsible for coal production, but it has almost stopped, now.   One company is looking into opening a new mine, but no date has yet been given.  Competition for the new jobs will be tough, as there is a lot of unemployment there.

Alberta is at the opposite end of this. Alberta has need for many new people, as the Provincial economy is booming.
