Job before landing

[foreverwaiting]

I am a PR visa holder yet to land in Canada. I have applied for several jobs online but have never recieved any positive responses. What's the best way to land a job before actually setting foot in Canada? The main advantage of having a job beforehand is that I can straightaway move to the province where I have the job offer on hand.

I had been interviewing for several jobs prior to landing.  I found it very difficult to actually land a job in Canada not being there.  I applied on adds, contacted recruiters and spend lots of money flying back and forth to Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal for interviewing.  I got to the point where I decided to simply just move and figure out something when I got there.  Note that I was applying under Family Class outland and me and my spouse was living together outside Canada and I didn't need a visa to visit Canada.  All the time and money invested finally gave result though and I was offered a job 2 weeks before we moved.  I landed, got my SIN number and started my new job 48 hrs after landing!   

So if you are out of luck, decide where you want to live, move there and if you work hard enough you will land a job.
