Regina or Saskatoon - which city is good for IT professional?
- Thread starter ourcanadavisa
- Start date
I agree and disagree.. Not everyone should, could, move to Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec. I am sure Regina and Saskatoon need IT guys as much as the rest of the country, maybe even more since everyone is attracted to the big cities and the rest misses out on qualified people.
But what do I know these days...living in PEI, working 2 days per week in my field of expertise having sold my house in Vancouver two years ago
Never suggested they had to move to a larger city. Neither Saskatoon or Regina are tech centres so similar job prospects in both cities. Anyone moving to Canada should keep their options open and not sign a longterm lease until they have secured a job (not just survival job).I agree and disagree..

But many full-time students and their cosigners sign longterm lease. Don't see anything wrong with that.
Those students already know where they will be living if attending the local school.
How is life in PEI? Are there tech jobs?I agree and disagree.. Not everyone should, could, move to Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec.

Sorry, no idea. I am retired. Spend my time on the beach or attending to my garden..
There are general tech jobs everywhere but more specialized jobs are mostly found in Vancouver, Kitchener-Waterloo, Ottawa and Montreal.
The situation that I foresee is - people moving to SK because they got nomination from that province (like me - I could easily have got into EE directly, had I planned my immigration at the right age). But personal and family obligations delayed me a lot and I ended up with PNP option only. That being said, this province is primarily an agri and mining industry center. It is quite unsure how an IT person would survive. survival job is fine if you are single, but if you are moving with a family, you may only end up eating up your savings. This is a dangerous situation
There are IT jobs everywhere so IT professionals aren’t likely to have to take a survival job. The type of IT jobs and the number of IT jobs available are different than hubs for IT like Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Kitchener/Waterloo.
