I didn’t so I’m not sure on that one.
I started sending a carefully scripted email along with my CV at the end of October and was offered 3 jobs in December, a lot won’t reply but don’t let that distract you. Like my experience you will start to get interest. I will say most of the employers that did respond wanted to see my criminal record straight away and two of them wanted to see my IELTS test results and education evaluation before they submitted the application to the province.
I’m currently wating for my TWP application to be approved but London has a 6 week processing time at the moment.
