Hello Partha,

speaking from personal experience (I'm still outside Canada, and I'm still looking), Yes it is far more difficult to find work when you're outside Canada: Recruiters will be loath to go through the process of work permit, waiting (and maybe paying) for you to relocate etc.
Also, manager's would prefer SEEING their future employer.

An interesting phenonmenon I've run into are hiring managers who contact you, more out of curiosity, then out of any real intention to hire.

I don't know where you are, or what your profession is, but from my experience, your best bet are

1. Sites like LinkedIN.com. These sites' job section usually lists employers looking for very specific positions - often internationally, and therefore more likely to get you at least a cursory look at your Resume. Lots of openings, all over the world (not too many in Canada, though). Monster and workopolis seem to have helped some people too.

2. Find a few good Agencies who specialize in your field - and make a PERSONAL contact there (through a phone call - or better yet, a meeting, since you're already there).

None of the above is a magic bullet, so patience is advised.

Hi I would advise you to contact employment agencies (http://jobagencies.ca/index.asp?p=1&sp=1) in your field. They will be able to give you more information about hiring foreigners.
