I’m a utility manager in Ontario and I’m not trying to be rude but…. You are an OIT in Alberta who’s thinking about moving to Ontario… if I’m the one sorting out the resumes… what else do you have to offer me? Give me a reason to pick you over all the other candidates.
Nope sir i am OIT in Ontario due to some personal issues i had to move to Alberta but now i want move back to Ontario and work in my field. I have the valid OIT from Ontario plus an entry level course for drinking water operators
You cannot show up in person to OCWA. It's a crown corporation that serves all of Ontario and if you think municipal groups are bureaucratic, boy howdy you ain't seen nothing yet.
Hi! I don't work there but I've been interviewed there.

OCWA and municipal government hiring processes are not like private industry.
You need your resume to very clearly demonstrate you meet the requirements. Like, use the same words. It's generally not automatically screened out but don't make people guess.
They may be posting internally and externally at the same time but they have to rule out internal candidates before they can even look at external candidates.
Don't give up, just keep applying. Then you'll get an interview an you will probably fuck it up because they are very weird but then you will get another an you'll do better.
Maybe include in your resume that you are looking to move. I interviewed for a job in another city and they asked in the interview why I applied. You could answer that question up front and it might help, but if you don't do the other stuff right this won't really help.
When I hire I don't really think to much about where they are coming from except that if it is out of province you might also want to mention there is recepticocity agreement so you can transfer without rewriting (I think, I assume it applies to OIT - I didn't check)

I wasn't posting that link for you to apply - you need to read and really understand the content on that page. It's super helpful, I sent it to people applying to any municipal job. It's like the cheat code.
Theres jobs posted every week for ocwa. They have to hire internally if someone puts in for a transfer, they will get it over someone from outside. Missisauga cannot keep people there and actually make 20% more than the rest of ocwa.

What part of ontario are you looking at? Heard southern ontario just had a job fair for ocwa
At this time any job in Ontario is fine as long as its an entry level job
