Hopefully this is alright to post here.

I live in the US and am trying to move to somewhere around the Ottawa area to be with my partner and her daughter, but I am having a lot of trouble trying to find jobs that would sponsor for a work visa.

I do IT sysadmin, AWS engineer, Linux work, but can’t seem to find places that are hiring or will sponsor. Is this something that is very hard to find or am I just looking in the wrong places?

I have 2 kids and am trying to move there to keep them safe and retain their bodily rights as they get older.

If anyone knows anything or has any ideas for help, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you

    I don’t work in IT, but I have had luck doing this. Go on the local stock exchange (tsx for Canada) pull a index fund which manages companies you are interested in applying for (tttk for IT in the tsx). Review the company list and start applying. This gives you a list currently high performing companies that have enough presence in the country to trade on the stock exchange.

    Here is a link which has the names for tttk https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/^TTTK
