Generally, where is the best place to look for an IT job in Canada?
Seems like there are lots of jobs in Toronto but people told me that Calgary is the best place.
Toronto has more quantity of IT jobs but Calgary has better quality IT jobs...
In Toronto you will have to compete with hundreds of recent immigrants for every decent IT job who all supposedly claim they have a "many, many degrees and certifications." This drives wages down and makes things more competitive.
In Calgary the wages are higher and there is a shortage of IT personnel with a proper knowledge base.
Calgary is smaller, colder and drier, more isolated from other cities, and more expensive but you can build a real career with full time employment in Calgary. Good luck getting more than just contract work in Toronto.
