With the labour market at its toughest in over a decade, Cathy Murphy of the Irish Canadian Migration Centre in Toronto suggests there are many locations in which immigrants can find job, highlighting in particular the building industry.
" The majority of the tradespeople we see in Toronto are functioning gradually yet building below, like anywhere, can be precarious in terms of work security.

Those in business (financial, bookkeeping, advertising and marketing, sales etc) may require a number of months to land a job function. Networking will certainly be vital.".
