To work abroad... in Canadian dollars

There are not only bad facets with the internationalization of the trade: the companies québécoises are increasingly numerous to send their employees abroad. A way of seeing country without leaving its shirt there.

Affected at the department of the internal checking of the SNC-Lavalin Group since nearly two years, engineer Gilles Daoust supervises in particular the renovation work of the Jacques-Cartier bridge, in Montreal. "It is not badly less exotic than Ouroumtsi", is appropriate it.

Ouroumtsi is the capital of the province of Xinjiang, the far west of China, located at the border of Kazakhstan and Mongolia, on the mythical road of silk. Gilles Daoust spent there almost five years for the account of SNC-Lavalin during the construction of a turnpike.

"Front, I had already worked in Cameroun, Niger and Burkina Fasso." It passed the last quarter century to bourlinguer its expertise in civil engineering abroad.

They are hundreds each year to leave, like Gilles Daoust, to go to work in another country, generally at the request of their employer who opens an office abroad or develops a new market.

Universalization obliges, to send employees in another country would be an increasingly widespread practice at the companies of Quebec, especially in the sectors of telecommunications and engineering.
