In my opinion, apart from experience, which is very valuable, the following are must have: ComptiA, Microsoft and Cisco.
(ComptiA is a must for America and North America, though not valued in the (UK) European Union)

Hey cajoejoe, being a manager, do you have any jobs for me ?

 

[cajoejoe]

walterg74,

Not at this particular time. Once i get employeed in canada (that is a diffrent story).

 

[walterg74]

Lol.. well I guess it's one SMALL detail I didn't know... I thought you were already in Canada, and that now you've gotten to be a manager

 

[cajoejoe]

Walter,

I am a Manager Here in USA. so no minor details. Moving to canada is frustration with buffalo. If here in USa shoot me a resume'.

[walterg74]

So out of curiosity, any particular reason why you are wanting to leave the USA to go to Canada?

I'm not in the US, currently in Buenos Aires, in my home country of Argentina.

Still, sending you a resume anyway, you never know

Thanks!

Walter,

It will not do me any good, if you are not in USA (Also IT is not what used to be here in USA). To answer your question.. Life style is the motivation for me and have family there.

cajoejoe,

Need to know something:
I have 8 years experience in Systems/Network Admin including 4 years as Manager, Systems, MCSE(2000), working for a good company. I am from India. What are my chances to get a DBA/Admin job in Canada after I land? Is there anything you may suggest I can do to boost my chances?

Regards
joy

joy4u,

The reality is that there so many people in IT field (market is flooded). Although i have travelled and lived in Canada for short while specially in Ontario (North York).  Bear in mind I have been this field for a long time, to get back to story, the head hunters are bombarded by so many applicants from Canadian citizens out of job (well qualified), and USA. Bottom line, there are  many IT people in every block with resume' in hand.. I dont like to paint this canvas dark but that is the reality.  Personally, I have thought of getting out of IT completely and do something diffrent. Remember so many poeple have lost their jobs here in USA, and applying for high Tech Jobs over the border. I chose North York, Ontario for a place to live.. As i have heared and have not done any home work, Alberta is placing many IT folks.  Regardless, how many years of experience you might have, or what you have done.. if your thoughts are to be in Canada, and have a new life and work on totally diffrent job then you are ahead. But, if you are comfortable and have a good life in your home country then why one wants to leave? Anyhow, as mentioned my motivation is for life style and economy. So i hope i answered your question.  last piece of information for anyone wants to apply for a certain jobs read USA or Canadian financial News and labor market statistics.


I hope this been helpful
