To those who moved to Canada without a job in hand, how hard was it to land one? How real is the "Canadian Experience" requirement, and is it limited to certain fields?

Pretty tough but I would say give it a year, so a bit longer than us job market. Where in Canada? In Montreal for example, all you can do is work at Bombardier if you want a traditional internal consulting or BD job. Guess you can do consulting there too.

Hello Everyone,

I have 4.3 YOE currently and I was offered Engr II - Full Stack position in VDSI. But after doing some research it seems Engr II is usually for YOE between 2 and 4. Is this correct? Will there be a problem for me if I take up this position with my YOE?
Since I am a lateral entry, I think promotion to Engr III also would take a lot of time.

Also can you please let me know the current designation hierarchy in VDSI?
