Good advice FP. OP, first focus on getting settled here. I read a suggestion by a member on this thread about trying your husbands luck in IT. Some people here think that IT is an easy job to get into by faking experiences. Please understand that the IT domain in GTA is filled with very qualified people. This is not 1998. A good interviewer can easily see past the resume during the interview. Also, everyone does job background checks. The people who are suggesting this doesnt have anything to lose. So take the advice you get in a public forum with a grain of salt.
There are ways to get around it. There is a Sri Lankan dude in Scarborough who runs a software school , for $ 5,000 you do a 6 month course from him. You do learn stuff from him and the rest is on you, how much you learn on your own. Mostly Coding, Software testing type of stuff. Some other Desi fools also into this type of nonsense.
He has a fake company on paper and to some extent he does take projects from other companies. He then shows that you worked for his companyand helped him in the projects.
The $ 5,000 includes teaching and the fake job letter, experience etc. That's enough to get your foot in the door of some IT company in GTA
Even if you get into a company and after 2-3 months they realise that you are a Desi fool who knows nothing about IT and they fire you, that's enough experience for you to put on your resume to fool another company. You put that as 6 months experience and then apply to another company.
Lot of Pakis and Desis do that, they go from company to company doing these 3-4 month type of IT jobs, before they are canned
Fooling people, taking short cuts, cutting corners, Chaltaa Hain attitude , cheap attitude is a speciality of Desis
Such a shame. Dont get me wrong, Desi IT people are well regarded in Canada due to their technical expertise and hard work. I have seen the same trend in other fields too. The key work is hard work and sincerity. Someone who tries what you said above will never get out of the mediocre career without hard work and good foundation. So ask yourself, whats the point? Why would you want to change your field when the chances of getting a top rated IT contract is nil?
FIFO ..... please stop spreading filth around CD.
AT, most companies have coding test for programmers. Same is for automation testing. Interview is also quite technical. It is not that easy to fool people in programming field.
It may be possible in manual testing but the competition is quite intense in Toronto area. Even some of the manual testing jobs is quite technical where you need to know a lot of tools. Basically it is not as easy as you are portraying it to be. You need good amount of preparation even if you choose the other route.
The hiring manager and his/her team will interview at least 5-6 people before they decide to hire the final candidate. Previous employment letters and references only come at the last stage.

Getting into Manual Testing as a fresher or few-year fake exp is also tough. Sometimes I feel bad that he had to quit his awesome job & come here coz of me
About buying a Condo- still a far fetched dream
CD is FULL of jokes ..lol. Don't come here for real info, just come here for the jokes & trolling
. This is an entertainment & gossip site , with just 10 active posters..lol.There was a poster here with the user id : " Canada Garibon Ka USA "
Another with the user Id : " Disunited States Of Canada "
If someone in Canada asks you : How are you ? , don't say " I am fine, Thank You " like in India, just say " Not too bad " Canadian style.
Canadians love double negatives, which make a positive. Also say " Whatever " and " It Sucks ", whenever you can.

To be fair to AT, I will tell you the happenings in the GTA :
1. It is tough to crack the first interview but if you do, sky is the limit (in IT). Since the OP's wife is working in the industry, let her first understand her company. There is a chance there might be openings in the software company for say Oracle or testing or Java. Let the spouse ask her husband to learn the software. Then she can recommend him for the job (best is if both the spouses learn the same technology). At the very least, she can get him a volunteer job for 3 months and in that 3 months, she can teach her spouse the technical aspects of the software. After 3 months, he now has 3 months of experiece. He can go to another company. Life begins like this.
2. As AT said, some people (Those who are working at IT companies), will get money from you and recommend you. I was asked $ 3000 for SAP HR job reference. I refused.
Why we are all crazy about IT is that job oppertunities are relatively more, salaries are great and it is quite easy to work (for some domains only like SAP or Oracle). My brother showed me a email sent by an MCA (Telugu Girl) on software - when she was employed at Blackberry. You can laugh at it. So many spelling / gramatical / technical mistakes but still she was not fired. She was laid off only after 2 years on the job. By that time, she was an expert (as per her resume).
Agreed now that lot of software people are in the GTA and as well as that IT jobs are drying up, but with one spouse in a job, the OP can look into it.

Automotive Engineer :
How is the progress in your job search? I know that you have landed in a small job. Did you progress beyond that?
On the same note, if someone could tell me who is hiring for temp jobs (like BPO/ Call centre / IT Support / Tim job / Gas Station job), Please inform me. I know a person who landed in Toronto, who needs some temp. job.

1 can directly walk in to Teleperformance office for their BPO jobs. Quite easy to land a job here if u clear all rounds. Or he/she can also apply online for Rogers BPO.
