Hi Richard

Snap! i'm in the same situation as you.

I've read that the markets are slowly picking up, but 2011 will be better still.

The appetite for IT work still (in my opinion) remains in the big cities in Canada. Right now, the obstacles clearly point to the current recovering employment situation. Keep in mind, most people coming to Canada (especially from the UK and Europe), find that IT in certain areas, is still a little behind the times.

Hope this is helpful in some way?

All the best.
