Hello all,

I just moved to Canada as a Permanent Resident and am actively looking for job opportunities.

I have 5 years of experience over USA and India (2 and half each), and I have a Master's degree in Computer Science from State University of New York at Buffalo.

The job market in Canada really confused me. In the USA, or in India, I would have gotten so many calls, interview offers, or rejects by now.

Can someone please guide me how to navigate this phase of my career? Thank you.

Hi, i moved to canada early this year from India and found this market absurd and difficult to get interview calls.
My takeaways are -
1. Message all recruiters
2. Network with managers from the company where you wish to work or ones in your domain
3. Apply to all jobs with custom cv
Do 3 along with 1 and 2
