Housing in Ft mcurrey is in short supply. Yes you will make good money if you have the skills and talent.

It is not that easy to "just move up to Canada" first you need a company to sponsor you and have all the applicable federal paper work filled out. You are a bit late on asking for employment up in the oil sands area. The Boom started about 4-5 years ago.

Then there is the question of where are you going to live? It is frigin cold in the winter and really do not think it is a practicle idea to live in a car. If any kind of hyper expensive housing is hard to find may want to consider a trailer of some kind.

My wifes secretarty's husband has excepted a offer to work there for a few months. The time he is away will help wih the down payment of a new house.
