The question just is how soon I can find a job and if I can find a better job position than I do in China. I’ve contacted some of them through email. Of course, I know I can’t apply an engineer job before I got a Canadian engineer license. But I think I can get the license within 2 years, before that, I can take some technologist or technician job.
For example, I found a computer company named Amsdell Company. One of their products is a kind of build in power supply for desktop computer. It’s very similar like my Safer UPS, the difference just is I am early half year than them. I sent an email to them told them we’d got the same thought they got very surprise.

I know that I must get an engineer license in Canada before I can find an engineer job, it need at least 12 months, and I also must improve my oral English level before I can get a satisfied job. So I think I can take some technologist or even technician job first, during the work, I can improve my oral English level and master the Canadian professional engineering law.

After I got a job, I'll do my best to do it, as I work in China.
I plan to buy a car in 3 years after I arrived Canada, and I believe 5 years later, we'll be able to buy our own house in Canada, and make Canada our second homeland. Own a house with a green grass garden is our dream of.
I know there’ll be many things happen within 5 years, we’ll find our suitable steady jobs, our son will go to school, he’ll grasp 3 kinds of languages and we’ll maybe have a daughter.
36Q Are you familiar with the job market in Toronto?
A I know more than 80% job positions are not advertised in Canada. Many employers ask their employees and friends to refer qualified persons. So I think my friends and Chinese communities in Toronto can help me. Except that, I know newspapers and Internet are the another job sources especially for technical information companies. I’ve found many website such as job bank, job agencies and so on.

The population in Canada is approximately 30 million. Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories. Canada has 2 official languages: English and French.
