Hello all,

First off, I apologise for the lengthy post.

After spending most of my professional career (and life) in Toronto, I have decided to attempt a move to the beautiful city of Montreal. Having been there, both in a personal and professional context many times over the last years, I am in love with the city, the people, and the culture. I am looking to hopefully find something to get my foot in the door, and am appealing to this community for any assistance you all may be able to provide.

I am a young professional, and have worked in IT for over 7 years, being involved in projects of various degrees of scope and complexity. Academically, I have a bachelors of science degree, majoring in computer science, so I am fairly well versed in many aspects of this field. My French is at a basic conversational level, but I am proactively taking steps to better this. Truth be told, learning the language is one of the bigger motivators for trying to make it out there.

Having said all this, I am appealing to all of you for help; I would like to start applying to any positions that anyone may know of, this week. Further, if there are headhunter/contracting/placement agencies of any kind, I would appreciate their names, so that I can explore this venue.

Basically, I am asking for help in regards to where I look for employment?

Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

there's another Ta that moved here too, zeidoo he's in IT as well... i'll contact see if they are hiring.

Check ur inbox

also, check www.wowjobs.ca (general jobsearch site, but it searches all the major job banks)

Hey zokissima, would IT-related sales be of interest? If yes I know of two open positions at the moment at two different companies in the Technology park of Ville St. Laurent. PM me if interested.

I'm young (22) so experience isn't very big, but I learn very fast.

I've done a DEC in Informatique de Gestion (programming), went 1 year to Ecole de Technologie Superieure to become a Software Engineer, but dropped out because it wasn't my thing. I kinda had a burnout of programming.

I much prefer working as Support Technician (mostly Internal stuff like networking, servers and not the guy at Videotron answering the angry customer). I don't hate programming, but it's been nearly 2 years since I've coded something. I was very good in VC++.

Malek, are you looking for someone ?

Hi zokissima,
The reason you choosed MTL over TO really interrest me.
I will certainly soon get my Canadian permanent residency ,I work in IT as well and will have to choose between the 2 cities.
People here told me TO has better wages, weather and taxes.
Would be great if you could give me your opinion considering that I'm French.
Thanks a lot
