Hi Dhyanm..!
We should keep in mind that job market in Canada is really very competitive. I would like to say, luck plays good role along with your definite efforts in employement search. (personal view).
Coming to ur question, if u r applying from India...I would say, there is negligible chances that anyone will land a job. Employers always want candidate on the land while consideration. So, you may just reasearch for the scope but dont waste time in applying. instead, keep ur resources ready, so once u r @ destination, from the very next moment u r ready to apply.
Physically being present in Canada will increase ur chance to get job depending on ur field and the area u r living. Ofcourse, it will initially require great amount of efforts to put-in on various job portals, YDMC, HR agencies etc...u wll hv to make ur hourses run in every direction.
Good that u both r landing together. it will definitely ease the financial burdent. Dont have much idea about 2174, but surely, GTA will be a good bet for u.!
All the best for ur future endevours..!
