Hi,

We are planning to move to Canada preety soon.

Just wanted to know that how is SAP job market in Canada for a person having 8 years experience in it.

What are the best locations as far as SAP jobs (Toronto, Vancouver, Alberta or Calgary). ?

How much salary can i expect to get with my experience. ?

Will appreciate if you can pass me contact details of good recruiting companies in Canada.

Thanks.

I guess it is a mixed market as far a Toronto goes.
The last company I worked with worked with clients who may have had SAP implementations and we had to map our s/w product to their requirements.

While the current company I am working with is very SAP oriented as in its consultancy.

We are always hiring too..so I can drop ur resume internally if you wish.
u can write to me at this username at hotmail

All the very best

Contact Accenture. I've heard they are into several SAP implementations.

How much take home can be expected in SAP with this kind of experience. ?
Will appreciate if you can send contacts of some recruiting companies in SAP.

Thanks,

Send me your resume via
In my company we had two openings in MM and QM.Those positions were opened for almost a month.We couldn't get even a good resume and last week recruited internal business analyst ,we'll train them to be a SAP expert I guess no one actually would like to move to Montreal

Other than Accenture also check with CGI and IBM.If you have 8+ year SAP experience you should get a job pretty quickly,independent consultancy could also be a very good option for you ..I could help you in getting some interviews once you land here.

bgg:With 8+ experience and good implentation experience across different industry you could expect in the range of 80k -120K for a full time job.Most of my friends who are working as a independent consultant charging $120-$140 per hour
Thanks

Thanks for your replies guys, really appreciate it.
As you can see i am a new member to CD and have found it to be very informative and helpful.

I have been working in SAP- ABAP for 7+ years now, and have certification in Abap and SAP Security. For past 3 years i am working as Technical Lead in an implementation project, have worked with Big 5 in management positions.


Q1. I am getting around 110K in USA, after moving to Canada how much can i expect in remuneration. ?

Q2. As far as Taxes goes, for a person earning 100K whats the Tax Category he will fall in and how much will be his net take home salary (after all deductions).

Q3. As asked by Rattandeep which are the best cities from SAP Jobs perspective, can you please rank the cities mentioned by Rattandeep. ?

Q4. I have seen many Canadian citizens working in USA on TN visa. Not sure if there is major diffrences in money or life style between these countries. What i have read on CD is that IT job oppurtunities are preety good in Canada, so why Canadian Citizens relocate to USA ?what are they missing in Canada?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am replying on my own perspective and based on my IT working experience both side of the border

Q1. I am getting around 110K in USA, after moving to Canada how much can i expect in remuneration. ?
Ans:It depends on your profile and how good you can present yourself during interview.Comparing US employers here in Canada softskills play a very critical role
Q2. As far as Taxes goes, for a person earning 100K whats the Tax Category he will fall in and how much will be his net take home salary (after all deductions).
Ansepend on province you're working and your marital status ...you can expect take home could be about 65K-70k
Q3. As asked by Rattandeep which are the best cities from SAP Jobs perspective, can you please rank the cities mentioned by Rattandeep. ?
Ans:Toronto,Ottawa,Montreal,Calgury,Vancouver
Q4. I have seen many Canadian citizens working in USA on TN visa. Not sure if there is major diffrences in money or life style between these countries.

Ans:Major difference I surfaced here in Canada is lack of professionalism and too much layers for any decision making.This is more visible if work with any big company.Canada I believe is great for independent consultancy ..but for that you need guts and confidence about your capabilities.
Basically Canada is great for long term settlement and if you're ready to sacrifice little bit about career challenge front life is pretty smooth comparing US
