Hi Jim,
It is a hot job prospect right now in Canada. Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver are all good areas in the field but you also need to remember the cost of living is higher in those cities as well. Vancouver is expensive and like Toronto has provnicial sales tax on top of the national sales tax for goods and services. Calgary in Alberta has no provincial tax but is in the middle of a serious oil boom so finding rental properties can be a challenge. I would look at the job markets from afar and test the waters with some correspondance.
