Canadian Companies
Hi AllI have just started a job search and part of the search includes looking for Canadian companies operating in Copenhagen.
I have been in touch with the Canadian Embassy and even though they know who operates here, it is not part of their service to make that information available.
Does anyone have another source for this information?
Thanks
Kevin
Remembrance Day 2008 marked in Copenhagen
Every year on Remembrance Sunday we and the other nations of the Commonwealth remember those who gave their lives in the service of their countries during the two World Wars. We cordially invite you to join us on this occasion.The Remembrance Day ceremony will be held at Bispebjerg Kirkegård, Frederiksborgvej 125, 2400 Copenhagen NV, on Sunday 9 November, starting at 13.00 hrs. There will be a short Act of Remembrance and wreath-laying ceremony.
Everyone attending the ceremony is requested to enter by the main gate of Bispebjerg Kirkegård by 12.55 hrs. Upon entering through the main gate, drivers are requested to follow signs to "Søndre Kapel" where sufficient parking is available. Please stand to the south of the footpath, behind the wreath-bearers, or on either side of those laying wreaths.
In addition to the Ceremony at Bispebjerg Kirkegård, an inter-denominational Service of Remembrance is held at St Alban's Church, Churchillparken 11, 1263 Copenhagen K from 11.45 - 12.30 hrs. Unfortunately, due to the limited number of seats in St Alban's Church, it is not possible to offer a personal invitation to this Service and the church is usually very crowded.
Our spirit of commemoration remains strong and is captured in the words of Lawrence Binyon
when we remember and honour the sacrifice of those who have fallen so that others may live free:
“They shall grow not old as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

Best Canadian Joke
An American couple is standing in an airport terminal somewhere in the States, waiting for their luggage. The wife happens to notice a very strangely dressed man also waiting. She asks her husband where he thinks the man is from.The husband says he doesn't know. He decides to ask the man and approaches him. "Where are you from?" he asks the man.
"Saskatoon, Saskatchewan," he replies.
Puzzled, the husband returns to his wife. "Well, where is he from?" asks the wife. " I still don't know," replies the husband. "He doesn't speak English."
Working situation
After the marriage, and obtaining the initial acceptance into Denmark, how long until a foreigner can work? Do you have to wait until after the final Danish exam and permanent residency, or can work be obtained asap?Many thanks!
