My partner (Canadian, EIT, 3-4 years professional experience) has been having a hard time landing a job to relocate to Toronto. He is a reserved guy and not one to network/coffee chat etc. I know the job market is tough and a lot of positions are filled through referrals/connections. Any advice on what he can do better to expedite landing a job?

Is he relocating from elsewhere in Canada? And being Canadian, does he not have any contacts already in other cities that would have connections in Toronto?

While being Canadian, I don’t have Canadian experience either and wonder if it even possible to get work there

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either.

So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
