Good that you created this thread JD. I was about to do so. I’m an architect also, and waiting my passports to come back with Visa. I have been trying to contact few colleagues to understand the market trend in Canada, especially Toronto as I have plan to land there. To be honest, the picture is not yet clear and we would like to get the opinion of others who succeeded to land and find a job. So this is an open invitation to everyone who can contribute to this subject and give advices. I can sum up the main issues that face me as immigrant with architect occupation;
- Where to land? What is the best place for architects to land and settle?
- Jobs and opportunities.
- Salary. What is the range of salary that is expected for architects?
- Education. If one is planning to pursue high education degree (MSC, or PHD ) which is the best city to land in.

We have a handful of threads for the same purpose, let's at least keep this alive. I've asked my huby to create a profile for himself and participate in this thread 8)

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.

It seems that there are very few architects at this forum :mad: :mad:. Does this mean that architects are not any more migrating to Canada? Is this a good or bad sign ::) ::)?
