Seems to be truth. I was very interested to be employed by BC Ferries too and actually I was preparing myself since long time ago, but since last year till now there is nothing for mariners.I am worry if we can do some survival job here, and after when the marine job market become good we will facing some new issues like being away from the field for long time and a gap in our resume.
God bless all of us (specially immigrants)
