US-based applicants, let's connect here

Welcome. I moved two weeks ago and was lucky enough to find a full time job within two days albeit I already had interviews scheduled from when I was living in US.

That's awesome man. Having a job that quick helps a lot.

I'd say it just kind of happened. I initially interviewed in April over the phone when I was still in states. They wanted to see me in person and I called them back few weeks ago to see if there were any other openings. They interviewed me once I was in Canada and gave me an offer.

I only used LinkedIn to apply for jobs. I didn't use any other platform (but I applied tons of jobs there). Also I'd suggest you to upgrade skills on latest js languages Angular etc.

That's interesting because I hardly see any jobs on LinkedIn. Hopefully, things change soon.

I saw a bunch after I looked based on his post: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs

I filtered by Toronto and just put terms like C#, developer, etc.

Yeah IT jobs are not so difficult to at least "see" on Linkedin. There are a bunch of those. However, having an opportunity of an interview while you are in USA is very rare. May be it depends on technology and how rare it is to find talent in that technology.

I'm not from IT so I haven't had much luck getting even interviews.

Hey that's great to know.. how much pay cut (if any) did you have moving from US?

I think it varies on your technology in IT. I didn't find much luck either on Indeed or LinkedIn.

@Mirapakay I noticed on the other thread you got a request to send your Passport directly to Los Angeles Consulate, can you please tell me who signed the receipt of your documents at their office? My USPS says delivered to 550 Hope St, but how do I know who received the documents? Appreciate your help with this, thank you! Sorry for posting in this thread in advance.

The CRS isn't better.

Yeah, it stinks :-( We realize we got in by the skin of our teeth. I hope the score goes down again so more people can have this chance, too.
