Hi antony,
Have you tried looking for a job through employment agencies?
here is a list of employment agencies (http://www.jobagencies.ca/index.asp?p=1&sp=1)and if you type "engineering" in the search box on the right you'll find about fifty recruiting agencies specializing in this field.
My suggestion is to call them, send them your Resume and Cover letter and follow up the next day.
Did you try the online job banks in Canada?

I am living in Montreal and i am willing to relocate upon job request.
I have 8 years experience on power electronics research and power converter development. The latest company I worked with is Delta Electronics Inc. which is the word No.1 provider of switching power supplies. I worked in its R&D centre for 3 years. I have ever developed server power supplies for Intel, HP and Toshiba.
I do believe I am qualified for an engineer in Canada also, but I did not find the gate to go in till now. I have send out many resume through Monster, Workopolice .... etc,but received no reply. I do not know why,

[Tsveta]

Do you have an online Resume? This will help you with your job search. Also try to call the recruiters and talk to them. If you send only emails you narrow your chances in your job search.

[anthony]

Yes I have build online resume, but there is few reviewed times. I wonder if the opportunity in such area is low?

Hi Anthony,

Make sure to update your resume on both workopolis and monster at least once a week. In my experience recruiters tend to look at recently updated resumes/profiles first.

You have to work on several fronts. Update your resume regularly, contact recruiters every day and leave them detailed messages, send emails and follow up, go through the new job postings at the major job banks, that sort of thing.

[anthony]

Thank you all! :) I will do as you told. If you have other good suggestion, please do not forget to tell me!
