Hi Ashok,
Congratulations on your visa and Welcome to Canada!!!

It is fairly easy for you to find a job in Toronto with your IT experience.
If you are working with any Indian service companies, try to find an onsite opportunity.
All Indian IT majors have local offices here and all of them work with major clients here.
All of them are recruiting throughout the year.
Try to find some contacts in these firms who can help you once you land.

Update your resume to Canadian standards; New comer centers and IT consultants will help you with that.
Update your linked in profile--make it professional and add brief explanation of your projects/clients/technology experience etc.
Contact some consultants like Procom, Randstad, Robert-half, TES solutions etc. Call them up, fix an appointment and they will help you find an opportunity.
Enroll for a co-op program conducted by Adult learning centers at many locations. They help with resume, interview preparation and provide some volunteer opportunity.
Firms like Access Employment, career bridge etc. have tailor made co-op for IT professionals.
Networking thru Linked-in or other social media will help you as most of the job postings and recruitment happen thru referrals.
All the best!!!
