Sorry about the quality of the second picture but it was getting dark and I was still driving the road above while trying to take a shot of the moose crossing the road. This was on Hwy 180 in New Brunswick. I had done all my deliveries and reloaded peat moss on Wednesday to tip in Millstadt, Illinois on Monday. I seen 3 moose that night on the 180.Had a bit of a setback this week with our permanent residency (PR) application. Our application was returned to us a few weeks ago stating Gary was too old to be included on our application and would have to apply on his own even after already being accepted by Manitoba. Big Freight were really good and helped us prepare the applications again and even managed to get Gary his own PNP nomination!!! Off they went again to Buffalo, New York only to be returned again last week, this time asking where Gary's application and fees were and why it was not included with ours, bureaucracy at its very best. Again Big Freight pulled out all the stops and came through for us when we were really starting to feel low.
After a few calls Eric Slatcher, recruiter at BFS, called Gary and helped him arrange an interview with a local window manufacturing comany and big employer in Steinbach.
To cut a long story short Gary got the job pending him receiving a work permit.
I was still out on the road and Eric picked up Gary and Sue, took them to the border at Emerson Mb and returned with both Sue and Gary getting work permits.
Gary starts work on Tuesday in the shipping dept. at Loewen Windows http://www.loewen.com/ and our applications have been prepared for a third time ready for sending.
Thanks to Eric, Christine and Starla at BFS for their help. http://www.bigfreight.com/

Good news, Dave. Impressive that Big Freight helped you out - certainly says something about the company and can only serve to show them in a good light to prospective immigrants/employee's.
Have a good Christmas and New Year!
