Is there any link for oil companies?

[mahaarsh]

I was lookin for any link or website of oil companies (especially in Lubricants field)

[Rossei]

This may be late. I can mention some big oil companies all around Canada:

1. Imperial Oil
2. Syncrude Canada
3. Petro-Canada
4. Shell Canada
5. Suncor Canada
6. Sunoco Canada
7. Talisman Energy
8. Husky Energy
9. Nexen

Most of the oil compnaies are located in Alberta province (Main cities are Calgary & Edmonton). Alberta is rich in crude oil and natural gas. Sarnia is another small city in Ontario which is known as the "oil valley" of Ontario where I live now. The oil refinery industries for eastern region of Canada are located here.

Hope this helps.

Without a prior Canadian experience but ample international experience, how easy is it to get a job in the oil and gas industry in Canada, especially rig work? If one goes for a short training (one to two months) in Canada, will that suffice as a make up for Canadian experience/Canadian training?

Thanks.

Hello Rossei,
 I am presently in an arab country and I work in an oil refinery. I have been working here for more than 16 years and i have also worked in a petrochemical company in my home land, Bangladesh for 10 years.
So, my question is "How am i to apply for a job offer from one of these Canadian oil companies and What are the chances of getting an offer?"
(I am under the category of "Skilled Worker" and i need a job offer.)
Could you suggest me some ideas or something?

Thank you,

Khorshed.

Hello Khorshed,

I assume you've already applied for PR in Canada under Skilled Worker category. But I didn't understand if a job offer is a requirement for your immigration. Since you have vast experience in oil/petro-chemical industries; you'll find a job eventually. My advise would be to look for jobs in Alberta.

Here are some thoughts:

• Visit each of the company's website (I've listed before); you'll find career page. They list their jobs online.
• You can also try searching for jobs from monster.ca, workopolis.ca, jobbank.gc.ca etc.
• Make yourself familiar with Canadian format of resume/CV and cover letter; you can just apply online. Make a note that you are in the process of immigration and expected date to come to Canada
• Try to find some contact who are currently working in oil companies in Alberta and try to use their reference. The jobs you see on their career page are first posted internally and when they can't find anyone, they make it online available to everyone. But internal reference is a huge plus point.

I'm not from Alberta. I'm an electrical engineer working for power transmission in Ontario. So, I can't be of much help.

Newfoundland has been well known for fisheries and mining (mainly iron ore). It has also become rich in offshore oil industries. I googled and found these info for you:

• The Hibernia offshore oil field is owned jointly by ExxonMobil Canada (33.125%), Chevron Canada Resources (26.875%), Petro-Canada (20%), Canada Hibernia Holding Corporation (8.5%), Murphy Oil (6.5%) and StatoilHydro Canada Ltd (5%).
• Petro-Canada is the operator and 34% interest holder in the Terra Nova oil field development 350 kilometres off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.
• Husky is the operator of and has a 72.5 percent working interest in the White Rose development on the eastern margin of the Jeanne d'Arc Basin,350 kilometres east of St. John's.

For an arranged employment, you are disclosing to the company that you require immigration and asking that company to get Arranged Employment Opinion (AEO) and Labour Market Opinion (LMO) from HRSDC. To put them into that much hassel, you have to prove yourself an asset for them. So, it's going to be hard.

thx Rossei for such information. . . as i have secured addmission in MEng Oil & Gas program at MUN with further specialization in off-shore technologies. . . I guess it would be a good choice to go for this program and later on settle there as well.

You never know where you will settle down in future, especially in Canada as it's a huge country. Anyway, I'm no expert in Oil & Gas; but can tell you this that M.Eng isn't acknowledged as well as M.A.Sc/M.Sc rather it's just an extension of Bachelors. Since it's technical field; you will have to prove how much real-time experience you gathered. Well, I don't know about you; but if you are fresh grad then you should be looking for co-op opportunities in those companies during your M.Eng program.

well i have 3.5 years of working experiance in oil & gas production setup. and as far as I know generally MSc is a masters program based on theory while MEng is based on research. atleast thats true for some parts of the world . . . but certainly will try to look for opportunities as early as possible . . .
