There aren’t many opportunities here. Nurses could probably find something at a hospital. The schools hire part-time and full time as well, but that is about it. Not a thriving corporate community here. - Jan 2021


With work permission, yes, but it's hard to get that permission. - Aug 2014


If you're a teacher or work in oil/gas/finance, then yes. Otherwise, decent job opportunities are very limited. - Nov 2013


Teaching, banking. Limited opportunities. - Dec 2008
