If I were in your shoes, I'd go west. Calgary Alberta is booming now and a great place to work immediately. British Columbia is great but a little expensive.
I've worked in a few places in Canada briefly (assignments or have travelled there frequently enough) and this is how I see things.
Charlottetown--Biggest city on PEI. Very quiet .
Halifax--Not a bad place but a little slow.Best to be transferred there if you want to live there rather than looking for work.
St.John--Quaint city in New Brunswick. Havent been in a while but pleasant.
Montreal--A great city in the midst of redefining herself. If you speak french that would be a bonus.
Ottawa--My current place of existence. Quiet city. Very clean. Unless you have a specialty or designation most jobs here require french and english to secure employment.It used to be only govt but now more and more the private sector is implementing those requirements
Toronto--Lived there for a couple of years. Probably my least favourite place in Canada. (Sorry Charlatan) Found it cold, unfriendly ,snobbish and hated it taking me over an hour and a quarter to drive 20 kms to work. Do travel there frequently on business but try to get in and out as fast as possible.Never thought I'd look forward to seeing the inside of Pearson as much as I do after my business is done.
Winnipeg--Truely a city with no identity. 2nd least favourite place.
Saskatoon--Havent been there in sometime but is a farming community that surrounds the city.Did hear though that the tech industry is picking up in relation to agriculture though.
Calgary-- Boomtown now. City is growing faster than ever. If I was in need of a job I spend some time there.
Edmonton--Like Calgary but not as much personality. A little rougher.
Vancouver--Big City. Expensive. Kind of like a place all unto its self.
Victoria--Retirement and homeless community.(apologies to those who inhabit there. Just seems evverytime I go to Victoria it looks like little TO with homeless folk around) Maybe just the day.
