A couple of interesting articles on the Canadian economy and job market.
I know that these are both written by a migration consultancy who have a vested interest in painting a rosy picture of Canada, but I thought they might make interesting reading anyway.
Firstly Canada has the soundest banking system in the world (read about this in the Economist so it is accurate): http://www.migrationexpert.com/Canad...st_bank_system
And secondly how against expectations, Canadian unemployment is stable (atm) at 6.1%: http://www.migrationexpert.com/Canad...dded_in_Canada

"...the World Economic Forum's latest Global Competitiveness report... ranked Canada 10th out of 134 countries in terms of overall competitiveness."

Here in Edmonton there are literally cajillions of jobs. Everywhere has vacancy signs up, everyone is struggling to get staff...

Re: A couple of interesting articles on the Canadian economy and job market.
The job market will vary across the country
Don't go looking for jobs where a GM, Chrysler, Ford plant is/might have been and add in Nortell too
Some industries are going down the toilet
and if Oil stays below $60 a barrel the same will start in northern Alberta
so its sit back watch and hope

To be at Portage at 4 or 4:30 and see the drones leaving is quite a mind numbing experience.

Interesting fact.....BTW it is where I have gone to renew my Cdn passport as the lineups at the Ottawa office are always very long and they process passports in a faster timeframe.
