I am QP's first woman engineer for the Oil & Gas Major Capital Projects Department. I joined in September'10 and my husband was able to accompany me.

But then there are other adjustments to overall benefits and sponsorship status which would need to be processed. It is not a difficult process to make the adjustments.
