Job Agencies
I'm presuming there are temp and job agencies in Canada as there are in the UK (like Jobwise, Manpower, etc). Is it the same as here - ie. you sign up with one or two and they call you with jobs as and when?
It's just that I'm hearing varying success rates as far as getting work there goes, so signing up with an agency and letting them do the footwork for me would be ideal.
Has anybody there worked for one? What sort of pay do they offer, say for office admin/customer service type work as an average?

Yes they are very similar to the UK ones, I started with one and find work pretty easily, pay in the area you are talking about is aorund the $9 per hour level
