Rashid -
It is not very easy to get job if u are not in Canada, and to look at ur exp u may not qualify to apply under fast track (FSW), if u have other mean for getting PR then thats diff case.

Getting Job in Canada in IT is not impossible but it is time consuming... not sure if u can get real quick and good job with just 1 or 2 years exp.

Do some research thru job web site in canada and u should be able to see the current opening and trends of available jobs in market.

Good Luck

Its like Catch-22, to get the job you need visa and to get the visa you need a job, not always the case but mostly it is. The only way to apply given that your experience is not on the 38 list, is to get a approved job offer from Canada.

First you need to fall under 38 List, if your job is in the list, only then you can apply. Job comes later when you get there and no one can guarantee it.

i know that no one can guarantee it, but i just want to know the market position there,
mean market trend, how much jobs are there (.net)

How would we know? I think there is no person in a more better position than yourself to know.

ok thanx dear.
by the way i am meeting the criteria.
my question is still there...

?

If you are meeting the criteria, then you just need to decide to go to Canada or not.

No one can tell you if you get a job in one month or a year. If you search on internet, you can find the job market situation by yourself. There are lot of people laid off due to sluggish economy everywhere and therefore Canada was not spared, the people who have Canadian experience and already living there sometimes gets the priority.

So to answer your question, yes economy and job market is not that well in most sectors except health care and few more. If you are a Nurse or a doctor, you will likely to get a job right away.

I hope this answers your concern.

will anyone agree that if you fall under the 38 list most likely it is easier to find job in Canada even in the midst of this economic downturn?

Be real...Come out od this paradise and be ready for a coming challenge in a new land Canada. Beter prepare yourself, ready for any available job, Save your reserves and then open your eyes after 3-6 months, after that period and try to get into your profession. That is what i believe.
