What is the best way to get to Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, CA?

What airport should we fly into and then what transportation to the hote? Help me!

The nearest airport is probably Calgary International Airport. You can check with the Banff Springs Hotel to see if they have a shuttlebus service that you can use to get there, or else I would rent a car.

It is very easy to get to. Using Google Maps - Directions, I entered "YYC" as my starting point and "Banff Springs Hotel" as my destination.

Where to party and meet locals :P im 16 staying at the banff springs for the hollidays would liek to meet people have funnn

Yes you're too young to get into the bars so count the partying bit out !

There are locals there and there are people living there during off-season so there's plenty of people around no matter what time of the year.

What time of the year are you going? If it's snow season, take or rent skis or a snowboard and head up to sunshine, perhaps get a lesson? You'll meet plenty of people on the slopes.

If you're going during the warmer weather, go for a walk along bow river or rent a bike, or even go on a tour (Banff Adventures Unlimited on Bear Street has a lot of tours to choose from ie: horse-riding, rock-climing, boat cruises, white water rafting etc etc).

There is plenty to do and lots of people to meet ... wander around the shops and speak to the locals and get their idea on where to go.

Applying for job @ Fairmont in Banff, Alberta for summer why do they say?

If you don't like my attitude too bad. I have my rag!
Hey MOM! I do have a good attitude but my cramps are killing me & I feel like crap. You're lucky I didn't report you for hurting me feelings.

Every1 else: answers ONLY NO opinions!

What the company (Fairmont, in Banff) is telling you is that they will not sponsor someone to come to Canada to work. You must already be eligible to legally work in Canada to apply (or more precisely, be accepted).

If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident ... or do not already have a work visa (which is usually tied to a specific employer), then you are not legally eligible for work in Canada.

This same criteria holds true if someone from outside the US wanted to legally work in the US, by the way.

The most common method of obtaining a work visa is to qualify as a skilled worker (which means advanced academic degree, several years' relevant experience, or both) and being offered a position by a company that advertises internationally (i.e. in a national newspaper that is NOT from the country where the employer is located).

It *is* possible to obtain a temporary work visa ... but it's much harder to do. Basically, the employer states that "I have a need for X number of employees RIGHT NOW, and there aren't enough in teh immediate area to accomplish what needs to be done". Then the employer goes through the paperwork required to sponsor foreigners to work on a temporary basis.
