Zitat
Hi,
I’ve been here since Dec ’05 and work in IT as a contractor. Canadian qualifications, degrees and experience are what everybody is looking for so expect some difficulty.
Vancouver is also a very insular environment where most jobs, around 85%, are filled by word-of-mouth.
It hasn’t quite grown up as a city yet so I’d hit the agencies hard. Monster.ca is a good backstop so I’d add your resume to the site. I also used a resume forwarding service just to initially hit as many agencies as possible.

You also need to make sure your resume is in the Canadian format, strictly chronological as they don’t like anything fancy. Mine goes in this order; name, address, synopsis, career history, technical skills, qualifications.
As a landed immigrant, you shouldn’t have a problem getting a job but you need to network.
Telus, ICBC, BC Hydro, Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health Authority are the big players in town.
