A.A. Milne, author of "Winnie the Pooh", wrote to The Times on
24th October, 1928.:-

"Sir,

  'In pursuance of the Representation of the People Acts', I
have been 'entering below' the 'other names' of 'domestics
ordinarily resident on above premises'. To asl one's cook
suddenly for her Christian name, and, on being told a little
shyly, apparently to reject it and demand an alternative (if
any), is a proceeding so unusual in our house that some
explanation of it was necessary; and in the course of this
the domestic attitude in regard to voting assumed an unexpected
clarity, such as might be expressed in the words, 'All stuff
and nonsense.' In more parliamentary language, the staff did
not appear anxious to excercise the franchise so hardly won
for it.
   Now what am I to do? Assert my authority as Occupier of
a Dwelling-House, Tenement, or Lodgings Let Unfurnished, and
insist that the staff shall function civically? Very well.
But some further guidance will be necessary. In the first
proud moment of full citizenship one tends to shower crosses
on all candidates impartially. 'No, no,' I shall say. 'Rather
must one concentrate with one cross only on one candidate.
I myself, just to give you an example of how the thing works,
I myself am concentrating on -------.' Well, in short, Sir,
I came out of the kitchen full of the discovery that I had
three more votes in my pocket; full of envy of the millionaire
with 15; and full of admiration of the artist who contrived
such a masterpiece of plural voting, and, in the modern manner,
framed it upside down and called it 'The Triumph of Democracy'.
             Yours, &c.,
                   A.A.Milne"

Your best source is the local Employment and Immigration Canada office (or,
better still, pick up an annotated copy of the Immigration Act of Canada).
A couple of quick points. You will have a very hard time procuring an
employment authorization before completing your degree requirements
(unless, of course, your employer is on-campus). You don't have to go out
of Canada to apply for permanent residency. You can do it by mail (to a
Canadian consulate outside Canada) from within Canada. The application for
immigration can be made while you are still on student authorization.

                         SCIENTIFIC COMPUTER
                          MODELLER/ANALYST

             To Work in a Multi-Disciplinary Environment

                   Salary:  CDN $35,000 to 57,500
             depending on qualifications and experience


        A Computer Modeller/Analyst is required to develop and
        utilize computer codes to analyze the thermal and
        mechanical response of CANDU fuel channels under transient
        conditions.  Immediate work involves the development of
        theoretical models or computer codes to facilitate the
        understanding of the physical phenomena embedded in the
        various experiments, and the comparison of the actual
        experimental results with the predictions.

        An advanced degree in Mechanical, Chemical or Nuclear
        Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or Physics is preferred,
        although a bachelors degree with high academic standing and
        relevant experience in research will also be considered.  

        A strong background in heat transfer and scientific
        programming is essential.  Additional background in fluid
        flow dynamics, solid mechanics or materials science is
        desirable.  Demonstrated technical report writing and oral
        communications skills would be useful assets.

        The Whiteshell Laboratories is located at Pinawa, an
  attractive recreational/residential community on the banks of the
  Winnipeg River, northeast of Winnipeg.  We are a 1000 employee
  laboratory with research interests in both nuclear and non-
  nuclear activities.  The laboratory has a strong, comprehensive
  complement of in-house support services/facilities and research
  is well supported with advanced experimental equipment and
  computers.

You are possibly correct in the strict interpretation of Usenet's
goals.  However, because many readers (including me) want to hear
about interesting jobs through this and other job newsgroups, this is
an acceptable and minor commercial encroachment on Usenet, which
provides a timely and widely-read medium for the dissemination of this

Hi Kim. Can you forward a copy of your resume over ML.  We do occassionally get
requirments for skillsets such as yours on a project basis. This would mean
that as long as the project was completed on time it does not matter when you
did it.  The only thing would be that meetings at the client site would be
scheduled and must be attended.

The problem with mentioning part time is that most clients projects demand a
full time focus.  They like to see the contractor on site to give them feeling
that the job is being done.  This not always the case but does tend to be  more
often than not. - Alan

I actually ran a straw poll in this in can.jobs, uhh, maybe two years ago.
The majority of the people supported allowing agency postings AS LONG AS
THEY WERE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AS SUCH, preferably on the subject line.

So, yes, while they are a commercial activity, most of us would consider it
a benefit to have agencies post relevant available jobs in this group.

        A Reactor Physicist is required to perform nuclear reactor core

        computer programs to assist analysis of data.  The work may
        include fuel characterization studies, radiation transport

        and safety-related assessments.  The above tasks include code
        development to expand existing capability, automate routine
