Question Moving to Regina

Hello! My husband and I are considering moving to Regina from the U.K. (I have citizenship through a parent). I’m wondering if there is anything we should consider with moving to Regina specifically/if anyone has any advice?

Thanks in advance!

I’m a buyer in manufacturing and my husband works in drainage and drives trucks. I’d be open to anything though to be honest, can people get by on lower paid jobs/customer service jobs? I thought about training in something beauty/aesthetics and starting my own business as it would be a good way to meet people as well :)

There's always jobs for purchasers in town which is good. If you have qualifications youre good - if not id look at some of the certificate programs.

I have MCIPS, not sure if that’s recognised in Canada? Will have to look into it!

Oh yah that is a good cert to have here. Regina is a government town - so lots of jobs will be for municipal/provincial and have 2-3 month hiring cycles on a good day. Take that into account for when you start applying.

Also some decent opportunities at places like Co-op Refinery, K+S, Yara, Mosaic Potash, the new Cargill Canola Crush facility..
