Hi, Welcome to Canada!

First and foremost you have to reformat your Resume to meet the North American standards. Here are some resume tips (http://www.jobagencies.ca/index.asp?p=4&sp=2)to follow. You can also check our Resume Section on this forum: http://jobforum.ca/forumdisplay.php?f=8

IT is an industry where the Canadian experience is not so important but most of the recruiters will ask you for it anyway, so be prepared.

Here is a list of employment agencies (http://www.jobagencies.ca/index.asp?p=1&sp=1) in Canada. Also check our Job offers (http://www.jobforum.ca/forumdisplay.php?f=16)section.

Good luck with your job search

Hi,

Do you get any response at all?
Maybe you should rewrite your Résumé to meet the North American criteria?
Do you send cover letter along with your resume? Do you call recruiters? Do you follow up? All these are important things you must do when you are looking for a job.
