(programmers FAQ):
Frequently Asked Questions on
How to Find a Job for a Programmer in Canada.
I can say the following summarizing experience of about 40-50 people
that I kept contact with:
You may explore several different options of the most demanded skill
sets on the market:
1). Cobol/JCL/MVS + good to have skills: CICS, SQL, DB2. (Toronto is a
city of banks and large wholesale companies), which traditionally use
mainframes and will continue to do so in a foreseeable future.)
1.1 QA package (testing specialist), nice to have: MVS/ESA.
1.2
2). Oracle,SQL, Stored Procedures - the most popular database. Good to
have skills: Unix, Powerbuilder.
3). MS SQL Server, (second most popular database), StoredProcedures,
Transact-SQL, nice to have: Crystal Reports, Win NT 4.0. Nice to have: data
conversion experience.
4). MS Access, MS SQL (Sequel/Sybase) Server, nice to have: VBA, VB
5.0. with OLE, COM, DCOM, Active X.
4.1 VB 5.0/6.0, OLE, nice to have: SQL, ODBC MS Access/SQL Server/DB2.
5). Web development: IIS 3.0/4.0, nice to have: graphics, PERL, latest
vogue: Java Script, J++, Active X, Corba.
6). C/C++, nice to have: WIN 9x, Unix or Win NT development experience.
7) Oracle system administrator.
8). Win NT system administrator/roll out specialist. A must: MSCE
certification.
9). AS 400, must to have: RGP, CL - huge demand!
10). Lotus Notes developer/Administrator - huge demand!
The highest paid: (everything in Canadian dollars/year) (starting from
top paid): (CND 70,000)(7-> 6 -> 1 -> 9 ($45,000)
The least paid: (starting from least paid): ($25,000) 1.1, -> 5 -> 4 ->
4.1 ->8 ($45,000).
The easiest to study (starting from shortest learning curve): (3
months) 1.1 -> 1 -> 4 -> 3 (half a year).
The hardest to study: (from top): (1.5 years) 7 -> 6 ->9 -> 8 (1 year).
The cheapest to study: ($3.500 courses) 1.1 -> 1 - > 4.1 - > 4 ($10.000
courses, $500-700 Seneca).
The most expensive to study: ($15,000) 7 -> 6.
Professions that are slowly declining (comparatively, not absolutely):
1 -> 7.
The demand is increasing (i.e. in absolute numbers): (starting from
fastest) 8 -> 3 -5
Average entry level salary is about 40,000 (with benefits) for
permanent, which translates into 2,900/ month/net or $30/hour (contract)
(you pay your taxes and insurance).
Average number of HR/job search agencies level interviews for a
professional with 4+ years of development and good English: 20, technical
interviews: 5, average time of finding job - 20-30 days.
For a person with no computer background, bad resume, suspicious
references these numbers are correspondingly 50-HR/Job Search and 10
technical level interviews, average time of finding job: 1.5-2 years.
Average number of resumes sent: 400, written refusals received: 50.
Average response time from a large company (like Northern Telecom) that
is willing to accept you (from receiving of resume to last technical level
interview): 4-5 weeks, average number of interviews: 4.
Sequence of interviews: (0) (Job Search Agency) -> (1) HR clerk -> (2)
Head of department/technical specialist -> (3) Vice/President (Marketing or
HR). Most important is (2), others are rather filters.
For a small company: corresponding time 1 week, interviews-2.
Oral references are being checked in 80% of the cases for large
companies.
Percent of large companies that are doing without job search agencies:
10% (like Winners Apparel, CIBC).
For small companies: 60% without job search agencies. The same for
turn-key software installers/solution providers.
I would not say that there is an acute shortage of specialists in any
field now (under developed capitalism supply swiftly comes to equilibrium to
demand).
(This remark received from Robert Must. Thank you, Robert, you share
with your experience like usual):
This is very correct. While IT industry may provide
more extensive opportunities due to the fact that this
immature industry yet. All industries were in this situation
some time in the past. There is no general deficit of people.
There is deficit of people with a certain set of skills and
many of those go to the US because falling loonie cut their
real salaries. $65k salary is considered good both in the
US and Canada. But dollar is different. If not this outflow
probably would be no so much place for those 900 IT people
who arrive to Canada only from one country every year.
Price of education: all commercial courses have $300/week. (Seneca
$250/course), full-blown University course (4 years): $40,000.
You may apply for a government loan after a year of living as a PR (pay
out start half a year after gradiation, interest about 5%).
Length of average private computer courses = 1 year (from 3 months to 2
years). Quality of education: from C to D (in Russian 3 with minus). It is
unrealistic to find knowledgeable teachers that also know how to teach (the
word "methodology" is not known here).
I calculate that average time for a person (without computer
background) of 25 years old spent on computer/Software development related
studies plus job search is 1 year, if your are 35 it's 1.5 years, if your
are 40 - two years (if you study/look for job 8 hours a day).
For a person with computer background (with language not needed on the
market now, like Fortran or Pascal or PDP11 Assembler development) and not
too bad English - it is half a year.
In Toronto and Kitchener/Waterloo the emphasis is more on mainframes,
in
Mississauga/Brampton - client/server, C++. In Ottawa- client/server. I
got a feeling that it is harder to find a job in Ottawa.
Necessary requirements in all cases: professionally written resume (the
whole science exists about it) and written/oral references (at least 3,
preferably local and you must be able to get by (communicate) in English in
"real-time" (50 words/minute) and be understood- nobody cares what accent
you have. Ability to type (in English) 30-40 words per minute is helpful.
Average number of software developers (with Canadian PR status),
returning back to Russia - about 7%, for non-programmers this figure is
15-20% (neither in Canada, nor in Russia there is no corresponding
statistics).
Official Canadian data: PRs: families arriving to Toronto: 900/year
from Russia, 1000 from Israel. My feeling is that about half of them (from
former Soviet Union) are programmers (at least one in the family), with age
range for a main applicant from 25 to 40 years.
Percent of (families) 'sitting' on welfare after 1 year of arrival: my
feeling: 35%, in three years: 10% (for a programmers 2-3 times less).
Percent of divorces among newcoming families in the first three years: about
25%.
Hopefully it will help,
Alexei Akimov
