Hi guys, just wondering if any of you have considered moving abroad. The wife and I have been talking about it recently and have kind if decided that Canada might suit us better than Australia or New Zealand. Any thoughts or experiences welcomed. Thanks
Hi all,
I keep getting jobs by email offering Canadian citizenship after 6 to 9 months, I'm sure most of you will have seen a similar sort of thing. My question is this, does anyone know anymore about this kind offer, does anyone know of someone that has already gone through with it. No doubt...

Hi guys, were hearing stories about an installer from Birmingham buying up all the solar guide leads and going in cheap as chips on Canadians and micros.
We've lost a couple to them but by the time we get to the customer they are absolutely convinced that Canadian are the best panels and...
Hey Guy's I thought that I would set up a thread for discussions on the Canadian code and their lingo! Yes they speak English but not when it comes to their electrics, like do you know what Marrettes are? do you know what raceways are, how about the difference between grounded and grounding...

There's no plate attached anywhere either.

I know I’ve run this thread before but I’ve just found some new photo’s of where I worked. This was a normal Sunday nights start up. I used to love this, the biggest fireworks display ever. I’ve had new engineers run terrified from it. An electrical and mechanical engineer had to be immediately...
Hi,
I have wired an extension on my dads dairy that is constructed out of food grade panels (sheets of insulation sandwiched by sheets of metal) and am wondering if these need to be main bonded. The sheets of metal are covered in an unconductive material that means there is no continuity...
Hi All
