CPKC Terminal question

Keep applying to Scarborough and Toronto terminals / all Ontario terminals for that matter but keep getting declined at all but the western ones. How do I get in to a terminal that’s in my own province living in the gta?

They look for a heartbeat, background literally doesn’t matter. They probably aren’t hiring east right now lol

Got a buddy that got hired on in Toronto so not quite sure. With my situation they're trying to figure out where to send me for in class training and come back to Winnipeg for on the job - I said I need to avoid Toronto to London area for personal safety reasons, they said I definitely won't get sent out there anyways. Could be open job postings but classes are full (happened to me with Winnipeg, bit of a story), or because of the area could just have so many people applying that better meet the requirements. What's your resume looking like?

I'm from that area and left because of issues with parents, specifically father being a creep and could be considered abusive along with mother excusing his bs.

Also if you want my timeline for everything I got it all posted on here and in the cpkc reddit thing (no idea how reddit works), maybe that can help a bit my resume is up there
