Jobs/Living in Doha

Hi all,

I am a canadian, who moved from Calgary to south Texas, and now it looks like my boyfriend may take a job in Doha. I am an electrical engineer, with a project management background, so I am trying to find a job there too as we are not yet married.

Questions I have are:

Any tips on Electricity Companies or Oil companies hiring Canadians??

Can my boyfriend sponsor me to come over if we aren't married? If not, what would you suggest I do to visit and then look for work-how do I get a visitor visa, for how long can I stay, how long must I leave before I can come back on a new visa, etc.

This site is a lifesaver! We are stressed out about what to do!

Thanks,

Jana
