"We started processing XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXX's application on March 21, 2012."

I dont understand y it took them i month to update that in ecas. Or maybe they have taken my file for processing now ?

Hi it depends on your experience. Overall i'd say it is pretty good. Most companies wont know companies in india, i was working in WIPRO for 3 yrs when i first moved here. No one knew abt wipro. so it took some time for me to get my first job. but after that i was able to jump easily, after i got canadian experience.

I was working in Digital TV Setup Boxes and Blu Ray players in WIPRO. Then started working on iOS , Android apps and games here. Now mixture of IPTV and tablet apps. I had to convince my first employers that i can do this. After that my other employers didnt care much cos i had canadian experience.

Hi..My spouse back in India is in IT. He does consulting work. So I have asked around for him. Don't be afraid to take on contracts. IT professional in huge demand. Need to just get your foot in the door. Be confident and go to recruiting agents and firms. Make calls after sending resume. Don't just sit around and wait. Linkedin is big here so update your profile nicely. Add a picture, get recommendations.

People usually do not hire during summer months so don't get disappointed if that is when you start your hunt. Sept-Dec should be good.

This is great advice, pandapenda!  I'm not in the IT field but I thought all you professionals planning to move to Canada would be interested in the HR Outlook report prepared by the Information & Communications Technology Council (ICTC) of Canada.  The forum doesn't allow posts with attachments so I suggest you google "Outlook for Human Resources in the ICT Labour Market, 2011–2016".  The report discusses trends in labour supply, demand and skills sets for ICT jobs in each province over the period 2011-2016.

Also for any newcomers to Canada or people already here - check out www.workingincanada.gc.ca  This site gives you information on all sorts of occupations (including job postings, what wages to expect, the type of education and skills required, if the occupation requires licensing or certification, whether job prospects for that occupation are good or fair or poor, etc.).  

As an example, here are the results from a search I ran for "software developers" and "Toronto".   http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/report-eng.do?lang=eng&noc=2174&area=9219&titleKeyword=software+developer&regionKeyword=Toronto,+Ontario&source=0&action=final

Hope you find this useful.

Hey guys! I got my PPR request from ND!   

Congrats!  It must be great to see some movement from Delhi so quickly.  Just wondering, is there any deadline mentioned in the request?  And did it come via email?
