[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ I'm thinking of migrating, to Canada

[PimpScourge]

Finding a job here has been a pain, so a few days ago I went to a canadian immigration information meeting. As it turns out, I qualify in all the Skilled Worker class eligibility factors (college degree, english fluency, some work experience, etc.) except one: Arranged Employment.

Can any of you, canadian nfm'ers, give me some pointers on where or how to look for a job from here? I graduated from school with a degree in Economics (my dissertation was about Currency Substitution), but they told me there is high demand for IT-savy people. All of my work experience has been in website design and implementation, sys admin, and information systems management (most of it I've learned from trial and error, and from the nice people here @ nFm), so maybe that's what I should shoot for.

what do you think?

Where is "here" that you are talking about? I just saw an article on UPS and a big hub that they opened up in Canada just recently. The article also said UPS is "one" of the best companies to work for in the IT field in regards to benefits & pay. If you live in the U.S. you could always start work for UPS "entry position"& then ask for a transfer to the one in Canada. UPS aslo has a "earn & learn program where they pay up to $2000 a year for part time & $4000 for part time Supervisors. I know alot of College students that work at UPS so they can get the tuition money. Im sure you could get your IT degree with the money from UPS & then work for them? no?
