1. How difficult is to find a job in IT Sector in Canada?
>> It is very competitive. There are a lot of IT resources looking for job all the time. Timing is more important that Skills.
2. What are the sources to find a job in Canada?
>> Linkedin, Indeed, Workopolis.
3. How much difficult is to find a job in Canada from India with Skype or other sources?
>> Nearly impossible.
my 2 cents: do not apply directly on the career website of big organization. Go via an Agency like Ranstand, Robert Half, Modis, etc.

Hi all,

Need an advice.

I have around 10 years experience in IT Desktop Support. But no professional certification. Is it mandatory to have certifications to get IT jobs in Canada, Ontario region ??

I am thinking of getting some myself. Normally It's not mandatory, but if you are competing for the same position with someone who has a bunch of them (and many years of experience like you), then you might have lost an opportunity...

Got it @fotjon. What certifications are relevant in Ontario? I am looking for some desktop support or technical helpdesk jobs. Any inputs ?

I think that is in line with my NOC 2281 too. I would say something like CCNA, MSCA, A+, Network+, Security+ could be useful.

thanks good to hear @fotjon Are you also in Toronto and how is the outlook of this NOC there.

I am thinking of A+ if certification really helps.

A+ and CCNA or Network+ is a good start, I guess. I am still planing to move, but in big cities like Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver the outlook of any IT Noc should be good, hopefully.
