    AD2008 replied to Susan to Vanc's topic in International

    I too have 1yr of work experience. Silverdragon, are you saying that it would be easier to find a job once you're in Canada already? Because most institutions I applied to in the internet requires 2-3 years experience. I am hesitant to apply for a to...
