Toronto ad fish 🤠 I’ve spent most of my career working as a copywriter in London (6 years here, 2 years Toronto) and the market is pretty different here. I’m planning on moving back home but wondered….how do you find work in Toronto? Agencies barely post openings, is the recruiter scene strong? Is it mostly who you know?

New York, few awards and agency sponsored it
Most companies require you to work in a province or state they have a legal entity for tax reasons.
If you can swing an HR interview, bring up the W-8 BEN form so they're a bit more comfortable that you can make the hiring process easier for tax purposes.
Try to find a bigger corporation / umbrella with multiple offices. They can “officially” hire you at a Toronto office and let you work remotely.

I wasn't able to work from Toronto on my O1 but I was able to get a NY network agency to pay me through the Toronto office while working for them, for several months. That being said, my intentions were to actually move back so it didn't matter as much to let my O go (I had no desire to get a greencard)
Was going to say this exact same thing. O1 is hard to come by. You’ll lose it by working remotely for over half the year.
Just curious- What do you miss from Toronto that you don’t have in NYC? Friends/family in TO?
Yeah, exactly that
