At least determine your chances of getting hired before you spend any money... there is a lot of "outreach" programs giving locals priority, especially young women and natives (I'm all for that btw). This is a job that is attractive to the entire uneducated Canadian labor market.. so be warned that competitive entry is not an exaggeration.

IMO, Ft Mac is very clicky.
My friend got a job fresh out of driving school. I worked with him for a while in retail before he left to work for his native band. I'm not sure what role his ethnicity played, but he seems to be enjoying it judging from his Facebook posts.
