That's great news Rajesh! Congratulations!

Have you decide in which Canadian city/province you are landing?

You can check the following link for zoology organizations in Canada and you can contact some of them to get better understanding of the job market and if there are any special requirements in order to practice in Canada:

Check this list of Canadian recruitment agencies (http://www.jobagencies.ca/index.asp?p=1&sp=1) too.

Good luck!

You will have to apply for a SIN number in order to be eligible to work in Canada. This is the only thing you need to do. You might consider contacting the Canadian zoology organization, or whatever it's called because you may need some additional licenses in order to practice.
