I know a lot of companies are willing to do Skype interviews now (especially in IT I'd think). It's always a good idea to have a job before making the move, especially since the cost of living in Calgary is quite high.

There's many jobs available in your field, but also a ton of people applying for all these jobs. I'd recommend either having a job, or having a bunch of interviews lined up prior to making the move. You could always take a low paying, entry level job in a restaurant or labor role if you really want to get the move done, and search for your ideal role while still making some cashiola...
