Depends on where you are and what you are trained to do.
We were both employed within a month of moving here - I was not in my field (teaching) and Abby was in her field (cheffing). Her job was perfect for her and she is still there 9 years later.
I worked in an office and made very good money while I waited for my credentials to be assessed (it took a year - a process I probably could have started before moving). Then I had to wait a bit longer to actually get a job substitute teaching. Subbing turned into short term contracts, which evetually turned into permanent teaching. I had to really put myself out there to get noticed w/regard to teaching - because it can be a field where if people know you then you are in, if you know what I mean. And I was this American from America (hahaha) who didn't really know the system or the culture and all that.
There is a lot of information out there on which jobs are needed and where... search Human Resources Development Canada.
