    UK Optician/Contact Lens Fitter

    Hi Guys

    I am currently seeking to locate to BC from the UK and wondered if there are any other Opticians on the forum who have already done this.

    I am qualified in eyeglass dispensing, CL fitting and refraction in the UK with 25 years experience. I have to have my 'qualies' officially recognised which I am doing at the moment, but according to COBC this should not be too difficult as my training in UK is recognised.

    Appreciate any feedback.



    Cheers

    Thanks for the reply. I just got back from BC yesterday after a ten day road trip with my brother. He works/lives in Vancouver (not an optician lol).

    Managed to get around the Okanagan Valley up to the Jasper/Banff National Park and down to Calgary and back....mind you he has got a super charged Dodge Ram truck. Like you say, BC is great.

    Redhot Jumper Job In Calgary

    Good day
    Now that you have seen B.C and Calgary I have a job opportunity for you. I don’t know how your license will transfer to Canada but we could talk to the Alberta Opticians Association about that when and if the time comes. The job will be with Costco in the Optical dept and will start at top pay rate including medical and more. If you are interested in knowing more drop me a line at eyeguy@hotmail.com
