I would find this topic interesting. I am from Quebec and I am probably going to be moving back there next year I believe. I am living in Texas right now. Come on, you canucks. Let's hear from you. I'm very interested in what Canadian shopping is like.
Hey there... if you return to Quebec you should look up Statopex as a shopper. They have great opportunities and pay regularly on the 10th and 25th of each month. The staff are fantastic to work with. We have several companies where we can do restaurants, fast food, clothing stores and much more.
You may not get rich but you can have fun and make a few dollars at it.
By the way, my French is very rusty. Are there companies in Quebec where the report can be filled in English only?
I know Statopex allow me to use English... Believe it or Not>>>>> New Brunswick is the only Official Bilingual Province in Canada...
OH... Premier Service, I believe is out of Quebec and I am using English with them... most would be the preference of the Company requiring our services not the Mystery Shopper Company...
Hi aubrey. Good to hear from a fellow canuck. Statopex doesnt have alot of shops in ON. Premier and WeCheck do. Can you let me know what other companies and schedulers you work with?
I just started mystery shopping recently, but Premier always seems to have a lot of jobs in the Toronto area. I've done a couple for We Check and they seem like a pretty good company. Beyond Hello, Mystery Shopping Canada and Shoppers Confidential might be worth a try too.
Heya, This Canadian believes building a rapport with a scheduler can become your biggest advantage. I will ask for PAD; not as a lump sum but a little increase on all of my shops (even if over a few days). I recommend taking two weeks to plan a road trip in the fall when there are a lot of shops - I go solo, stay ultra organized, work ten hour days, try to include a food shop once a day, last year I made $1200 in an eight day/2800 km run, less gas, car rental, and motels. I call the schedulers who override the shop maximums to let them know I'm OK every couple of days, also they must keep adding shops. It helps keep me calm & focused too. For my Ontario road trip I work Dryden to Timmins along Hwy 11; Sudbury to Sarnia then back to Thunder Bay on Hwy 17. (Tools: a watch, laptop, gps, flash drive, digital camera, printed schedule, one envelope per day, knowledge of where to find scanners helps)
I will get to everyone tonight... off to do visits today... great to hear from Canadians....
Many of the US companies also do Shops in Canada. I was working for only American Companies for the first few months, because many of the Canadian Companies are not listed around here!

Premier Service, Stratopex, Mystery Shopping Canada, and Shoppers Confidential are all Awesome Canadian Companies to work with. But I am sure many of the US Companies on the Official List will have Opportunies in your area of Quebec as well. I have worked with about a dozen or so, and am registered with about 50 so far.

I have done a couple for We Check. Seems like a good company. The scheduler was supportive and understanding when I couldn't do a test drive because the car wasn't available.
Confero Inc. is a company doing some Canada shops and at times really wanting Canadians... Brian does not really know Canada as he an American, really trying though... has become a good friend...
Lanla and Strategic Evaluations are Canadian MSCs. Have you tried Sensors Quality Management Inc? Funny thing is that most of the shops I do are actually for USA based MSC's. There are too many of them who have Canadian shops. MFI and CFA have various Canadian shops. I used to do mostly Premier Service and Strategic Evaluations shops until I signed up for more MSC's.
Funny your should mention SQM... I just finished, literally, printing out instructions for a shop... ha ha..
Yes, most shops are from US based company for Canadian shops...
I did a shop for SQM today, one on Monday and have another coming up next Monday.
I am in Alberta. Lately I've been doing a lot for Strategic Evaluations. It is always changing though.
In Alberta... you should really check out Confero... if you do just let Brian know I let you know... last year I had a friend do Fort Mac as a favour... they were really looking for people...
I think Confero could really use shoppers in London and St. Thomas, Ontario. There are several jobs listed in those two towns and I have had a few emails asking for people to help. Too far for me to drive though.

I've never found work in my area with Confero so haven't checked in a long time. I can always take a look to see if things have changed.
They do two major campaigns a year in Canada... but they pay well for travel .... or at least they treated me very well ...
Right now I am checking every site every day. I'm sure at some point I will not check some of them as often.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this one yet but Performalogics is usually pretty good. I think I may have encroached on somebody's turf here, but other companies I'm on can be desperate near the deadlines.
