Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can

Thanks for the comment!
I believe I mentioned above about striking balance, so I'm not gonna scrap Toronto because it has arguably the best opportunities.

Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can

I won't...

Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can

Well I mean.. by work/life balance, actually having the time to explore Ontario (if that is the destination) and the surrounding area. Fully appreciate from the advice here, and general research,...

Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can

Yeah indeed. I mean there's no point moving to Canada to sit in a likely shared apartment working from home. Perhaps when settled and if I do want to make Canada my forever place.. but that's...

Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can

No that's absolutely fine! I have heard about this designation of the title "Engineer" in NA, so its good you've made sure I'm further aware of this. As I mentioned, I personally don't think of be...

Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can

Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can

Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can

Good to know!

As mentioned - I don't personally see myself as an "Engineer". This has just been my title in the 5+ years experience I have in IT.

A much better suited title, would be systems...

Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can

Good to know!

I do have a Bachelor's degree to be fair, but point taken. I personally wouldn't call myself an engineer, but it has been my job title and is the most reflective NOC title for what...

Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can

Thanks for the comment!

Re: UK IT Professional seeking advice from fellow IT professionals expats in Can
