What a great web site for such a small place. About 5 years ago I did a bicycle ride from Seattle to Inuvik and had a great time. If you want to check my experience out log into my web site:

crazyguyonabike.com/doc/beyondtheyukon

I have travelled the world for both work and vacations and I think the Northern extreme of Canada is the best place I have ever been. I liked Inuvik very much and wanted to consider the possibilities of moving there.

Is it possible for an American to move to Inuvik? If so who do I contact? What are the odds of being able to do this?

Historically I am a mechanical engineer and use to own a business that did engineering work for many companies around the world. I used to have 50 employees and we did quite well until I fell from a ladder and nearly died. I survived and am doing much better these days. I spent 17 months in the hospital and was able to leave about a year and half. My work related web site is worth a look. Is there any possibility for getting a job in Inuvik?

I am an engineer but I can cook well and I have built homes in the past.
All the best,

Pat

There is also the town of Inuvik which has recreation programs, etc.

I was wondering what to social service field is like. I am a youth worker and would like to work up north. What are the possibilities for jobs as a youth worker up north. What website would be good for me to look at. Not sure if they have youth workers in schools like they do here in BC. I know there is probably a high demand for social workers but I am not qualified as one.Any information you can give me regarding youth workers would be great. Thanks
Sal

My friend and I are looking for an adventure and I think I just found it. I’ve recently been looking for teaching jobs in remote areas of Canada and Inuvik seems like the perfect place to settle for a little while. I don’t know that I have any specific requests or questions for you…other than can you find me a job, haha. I want to teach, my friend will do anything. That would be great, ha. All kidding aside, thank you so much for all the info on here, it’s great. I want to move to Inuvik !

I just seen your message on this blog and realize you posted in 2008 but I was just wondering how your experience went in Inuvik as a RN. I’m thinking of applying up north (I’m from Ontario) but would love to hear from another RN who has lived and worked up there. If you would be willing to share your experience that would be great!
Thanks
Phyllis

Great resource, and thanks. Phil, what would you say has changed the most in the last four years, since you first described life in Inuvik? Just want to be sure my info is completely up to date. Cheers.

My family and I are currently living in Ethiopia as I work for the United Nations. I am a Canadian and my husband is a Kenyan. We have two young children. How multi-cultural is Inuvik? Will my husband and children be comfortable or is there racism?

Thanks for you response!

Yes, we have Northern Lights here during the winter. And the Snow Walker is a wonderful movie! I’ve heard it’s very accurate. Hunting and fishing is still part of life here, but of course people have modern things — usually hunting is now a trip which brings people outside of town, insteead of the land being their primary residence. Thank you for the kind comments!
