My suggestion would also be preparing yourself to do free lancing or contract jobs (I moved from the US and I wasnt ever used to look at the situation that way) but it can come in handy to pay the bills. Again, tough to guide you specifically into certain roles since you havent really said where you have worked in the past.

Thanks for providing some more information on your work experience. So that is exactly where id target my job search...in call handling, customer service (maybe even try to land a few interviews with banks such as HSBC, TD and BMO) in their customer service departments and then branch out from there. If you speak more than one language (apart from English), it would work in your favor.

Hope that helps a bit.
