Default Anyone live in Ottawa/Toronto?

If so, how is the job market out there? I know it is kind of a silly question given the obvious cirmumstances lately, but I have a couple of years of experience as an electrical engineer in the building industry under my belt. I may be looking for work in Ottawa or Toronto in a few months and was wondering if jobs in that industry or any electrical engineering industry are available?

Thanks and Merry Christmas CP.

Your field is about as far away from mine as it can get, so take this with a grain of salt. That said you may want to check with the federal government to see if they have any positions in your field. They are basically hiring like crazy at the moment in a lot of fields because (very, very) large amounts of their workers are retiring.

Didn't Haper put in a hiring freeze though?

Yeah, could be. I just know that in my general area of work they were recruiting like crazy. Worth a look anyways.

As a word of advice, go to Ottawa.

[quote=Machiavelli;1575590]As a word of advice, go to Ottawa.[/quotAgreed, Ottawa is a much nicer city than TO. TO is a dirty dumpy city. It is good for entertainment though...but still overall crappy.

I got my US immigration papers and was pretty intent on going down south but things have changed in the last few months.
