Why should I get help to find work?

In Canada, most occupations in information and communications technology (ICT) are not regulated. Therefore, employment is subject to demand, and qualification requirements are set by individual employers who may require certification or training in specific software and hardware.

You need to do some labour market research to find out if there is demand for your skills. You can do a great deal of that on the Internet.
