Dear Friends,
I am deciding on moving to Canada. Will start the application process now.
I am 39 years and in IT field. I am an Indian and working in Singapore. I have masters degree in Info Tech. and 13 Years of IT experience.
How easy it is to get a Job first and then Land in Canada?
Considering my age, the time I will get my PR (at abt. 42), generally how easy or difficult will it be to get job at around age of 40 ?.
I have read a lot about horrible experiences (as well as Success stories) of Migrating to Canada.
Better life style & future of Children are what I am thinking about.

Appreciate Your responses.

IT is a good sector for getting jobs in Canada.

Being in Singapore, you must be having a good lifestyle. If you can move with a job, that would be the best thing. You might also have enough funds to support yourself for one year during which you can find a job as per your qualifications & experience.

Getting a job in one's field is very difficult in Canada.

Rgds,

"Better life style & future of Children "

R u saying that there you dont have a better life style in Singapore? This is interesting. Singapore is a developed country in Asia.

IMO, how the IT sector will be in 2 yrs is anybody's guess. The way it melted down couple of yrs back, I would be careful. May be u could find a job in Singapore that has offices in Canada and its easy for you to move. E.g. CGI, Oracle(?), IBM, etc.

You can tackle it in two ways, it is like climbing a mountain:

a. Climb via stiff cliff, climbing vertically, hanging in the air by a slender rope, blown around by winds; there is a special charm in that, but it is not for everyone.
b. Climb up a slope or a ramp.

If you are one of the people who would prefer option b. then choice remains between:

a. Finding a job in Canada and then shifting, and applying for PR
b. Finding a job in Singapore, in a company having office in Canada, seeking a transfer, then shifting to Canada, and then applying for PR.

There can be variations to the above theme.
