Perseverance is key.
Job market is tough because of unrealistic expectations:
Canadian experience,
Should have PR/CoPR, etc
Update your resume in Canadian style (1-2 pages)
Networking is key. Follow recruiters, they will post lot of openings. Try reaching out to them.
Try to attend events on how to get job as a newcomer in Canada. You will get insights from peers and industry experts.
I was also like you 8 months ago but now I working for a top bank.
Where there is a will there is a way.

Please come prepared to fund yourself for atleast a year. The job market in Canada is terrible. My wife was working in JPMC as a data analyst till February. She has been trying for a job here since March, not able to get any interviews. Not even supermarkets are hiring due to lack of "Canadian experience" which is just total BS.
Open work permit is almost as useless as visitor visa, as most tech companies need a PR or COPR to even schedule an interview.
So don't have your hopes high, be prepared for the worst. If you can wait, get a PR and come.

You may be able to get a job in Walmart or 7 11 if you are a male as they need more male staff for night shifts, but getting a job in your actual domain is going to be super difficult.

I have also applied for SOPW. I have two years of experience as backend engineer. I might also be going in August. Do they not hire even with referral? Will I have to look for another kind of job?
