Hello All,

I was reading threads about job bank and it appears from the feedback that it isn't of much value. So then how does someone living outside Canada apply for jobs there? I guess one would have to first move to Canada with a PR and only then the clock would start ticking.
Here's a bit about my background:
Indian.
Employed currently in India.
Aged 27.
Single.
5 years of experience as an IT Pro/Sys Admin.

Do you already have at least your COPR? If so, try LinkedIn and sites like Indeed.ca, for example.

Of course I'm not even going to look for a job until I get my PR. Though I'm sure I'll get the PR.

I've got experience in Windows server administration and Microsoft Azure administration. I plan to learn new technologies while I'm still in India. Any suggestions?
