Re: Possible areas.. help please!
Looking at Indeed, there seems to be a few positions available in the Ontario, where many of the houses are built with brick, but not many in other Provinces.

You may want to look into certification by the Province, to help you with Express Entry (Skilled Trades), if it's available.

Re: Possible areas.. help please!
I was told some years ago by someone who was studying materials for house building that there is a problem with bricks in Canada.
Seemingly brick cannot withstand years of extreme temperature changes, and snow and water can get into the pores in the brick. Expansion and contraction of the frozen water causes breakdown of the brick structure
Most areas of Canada do not seem to have brick works
In addition, there is a suggestion that bricks cannot be used in high seismic zones ............... ie, BC in particular.

I think it a fair guess that my car will last longer than Brampton's houses.

Peterborough has many old brick built houses. There was a fire in the mid 19th century that destroyed much of the downtown and a bylaw was brought in saying that any new buildings had to be made of brick.
Perhaps the OP might get work restoring old buildings?
