US PhD valid in Canada?

I am currently pursuing my PhD (industrial engineering) in USA.
Will that be acceptable in Canada?
How will be the job opportunity for US PhD candidate in canada?
I heard that getting PR is easy if we have PhD??????

Yr PHD is indeed acceptable in Canada but it all depends on the job opportunities available in yr field of studies. If u are looking for PHD teaching positions then u need to look into it from the individual unis that are looking for faculty members and any lecturing and research positions available. But from experience here, I can say, personally, that teaching positions are not easy to come by, likewise with faculty teaching or research positions from the tenure view.

Getting PR is different from getting a job, so u may get yr PR but it doesnt mean that u will get a job here in canada, its a whole different story. So it all depends on what u want to do from the job perspective and also depends on where u want to live after u finish yr PHD program.

Seriously why someone with PHD from USA move to Canada!! you have some 100's of universities there to teach! and of course the market will welcome you so much!
