It would be difficult to find work tbh, Canada is on the verge of a recession and jobs are hard to find. If you definitely want to go to Canada, try to get interviews lined up before you leave Ireland.

I've been speaking to a few Canadians and they were saying the British Columbia area is finding that a lot of the older generation are retiring and as a result they're crying out for jobs...

I'm over here since September on the USIT program. It costs a few quid, but it's well worth it. There's plenty of IT jobs here around Vancouver, can't speak for the other cities though.
PM me if you need any info
