His company’s June Canadian Job Market Report showed B.C. job postings rose by 10.8 per cent from May to June to 18,235 and 8.7 per cent nationwide to 204,200. Has anybody noticed a difference in jobs advertised over in Toronto and Vancouver? I have to say I've noticed a few more being put on monster.ca and bcjobs.com myself

If so, can someone tell me how to do it as a friend is leaving soon and wants to get it sorted. I heard it from lads that are over there now and had to wait 2 months over there to get it sorted!

If you're coming here, bring as much proof of the degree as you can get. Degrees, proof of exam marks, all the papers you can find. It's a lot easier to get from home than from across the pond. I have an IT degree, which they dont check on. I know of a lot of people here with a qualification from their home country that couldn't get it recognised, eg. Philipino Paediatrician workin reception and a Russian Nuclear physicist doing recruitment. A real shame to see that kind of thing

Ended up getting my third non-agency interview setup about mid february, scheduled for early march. Had to have a copy of a police cert (like the one required for the usit application) faxed over and voila, was offered the job eventually, starting the last week of March (Datacenter Technician with a Colocation Provider here in Downtown Vancouver) - offered a contract for the full remainder of my visa - which was handy, with the door left open on keeping me on-board after that date - so hopefully I can get a work permit issued then, and eventually stay permanently if things work out that way. The company I am with has also started hiring more since June definitely - so I think things are picking up a bit as companies aren't panicking to the same extent that they were in the first quarter which was a very depressing time for jobs & economy.
