I have read posts about jobs in Canada for new comers. I have a question about IT Guys.
IF one have Professional certifications (like OCP, RHCE, CCNA, etc.), will it be helpful to get initial job in relavant IT field (Database, Networking, Programming)? Since such certification have same credential all over the world and not limited to Canada Education system.

IT certifications from different vendors are always a plus point and are internationally recognized. They play a positive role especially for entry level jobs.

I am still in application process and am trying to figure out the same things as you are. I got connected to few Candian citizens via linked in and am exchanging notes with them. This is what I have assimilated so far
Even though Canadian Immigration system is looking for Managers, there are little chance of finding managerial jobs w/o canadian exp.
There are jobs in system administartion and not many in development and testing as Canada does not have many product companies as in US
The certs like CCNA, RHCE, will definately help. But they give you more or less entry level jobs but better than survival jobs
There's lot of different tracks, but you start with the Foundation certificate. I took a 3 day course and a test, the course prepares you for the test and the test certifies you understand the concepts. It's very geenric and is meant to be applied to all different IT shops. It includes how you manage software lifecycle, how support lifecycle is managed, etc. It's very theoretical.
I think it's useful for large organizations that implement ITIL to know someone they are hiring at least knows how the process is supposed to work, though honestly I imagine for managers they would want to know you had implemented it somewhere, because the devil is in the details like very other system that complex.
