If this article inspires anyone to finally move to Canada, there's lots of startups here in Toronto that are hiring. Also Amazon is hoping to fill 200 more desks this year in their Toronto office and Google is nearby in Waterloo.
Happy to help anyone interested.
- jbob2000 9y agoAs an addendum; the bar is extremely low for developers in Canada. If you show up on time, smell nice, and put on a smile, you will be lauded with awards, compliments, raises, and time off.
- bluehazed 9y agoI wouldn't necessarily say the bar is low... but I feel like the work culture is certainly much healthier here.
- owebmaster 9y agoHow do I contact you, mabbo? Or should I ask here directly? I'm interested. Actually this thread is a great coincidence as I decided yesterday that I'm going to invest the next months to reallocate to another country and Canada is on the top of my list (I'm Brazilian). My biggest doubt is: should I look for a job from here in Brazil or it would be better to go to Canada first and look there? I'm a 29 years old self-taught developer, programming for a living since 12 with some international clients/employers.
- seigo 9y agoI'm interested :), are people from Brazil welcome?

- perardi 9y agoI am a UI designer in the States, and I've been working on moving to Toronto to be with my partner. I was going to keep my US job, and work remotely, but boy, it'd sure be easier with a Canadian job offer.
- mabbo 9y agoYou might try WealthSimple. Not sure if they need ui designers specifically, but they're hiring like mad right now, and seem to care about good design.
