Are you open to relocation anywhere in Canada (maybe India as well)? If so, you should open up your search to a wider area.
Are you able/willing to try careers outside of your "normal" occupation? If so, you should give it a try.
As much as I would personally prefer not to, you could engage in part-time work while ensuring you leave some flexibility to continue your job search. The drawback of these jobs just to earn income and keep some routine is your resume may not reflect well when you actually are looking in your field. But, it's a matter of personal preference.

I would surely love to go back to India but now struck 1 yr short of completing citizenship.
I dont have any issues with alternate careers but I dont want to do labour jobs what other options do I have.may be because of french part I am just struck here.

IT Guy,
What is your background? is it SAP MM, SD, HCM, SRM,CRM, HCM, FI, CO, BI, BW, BO Etc...Etc.....? What is it.
Please be more specific.
SAP is one of the best softwares in the world and I am doing SAP HCM.
Come to the GTA (Toronto). We are the best SAP employers in the whole of Canada. If you want I can get you a teaching job at the instutute which pays $ 2000 for 60 hours and classes are held on sat. and sundays.
There are so many companies that hire for SAP in the GTA and outside it. However, the demand these days is a bit less as companies prefer to contract out the job to TCS, Wipro who in turn provide manpower in Canada. But SAP demands is always there for experienced people. It is surprising that you are frustrated with a profession that pays $100 per hour at the min. and as much as $250 an hour even in Canada.
Send me a PM or e-mail if you wish to know future oppertunites or as well as insider information in many SAP companies in the GTA and beyond.

Thanks for the info..
But if there are oppertunities in Alberta, then why are you still staying in Quebec. For citizenship, you can go to any part of Canada and still be eligible.
Also PM is in very high demand. Recently the the institute that I study had 2 people from Saudi Arabia come to Toronto to study PM (plant Maintenance). We could not find anyone in the GTA and so they were taught at the institute by webcam.
if you want, send me a PM and I can send you all the institutes that are hiring in the GTa and you could call and ask them for a job.
Peace by a PD
