Hi there everyone, my name is Stuart and myself and my wife are considering making the move.
We're going to visit Canada in september, hopefully do a week in Toronto and a week in Vancouver, bit of a fact finding visit really.
I just wanted to introduce myself and hope that people wont mind me asking a bunch of questions about the process of application and how they find living over in Canada.
First off, I have been in IT for 5 years, and I wondered does anyone know what the availability for IT jobs is like over there.
Thanks
Stuart

'Rain'couver is the place for IT - it's right next door to Seattle and the tech hub there, so that's where the IT start-ups and so on have headed.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
Will be hitting the Wiki with a passion this weekend, also I've booked tickets to go to the Canada-Expo at Olympia this June to go see some of the prospective employers.
Would you guys suggest taking a few copies of my resume with me?
