You've GOT to go out first mate
If you're good at your job and come across OK, you'll be beating them off with a stick
Do it all yourself mate, don't pay stupid money that you could keep for your re-settlement expenses, go out there and meet with the relevant 'Regional Development Agencies' of the counties you are looking at - the lady at Cumberland in NS is lovely for a start as is the Halifax woman, they will help you find prospective employers

The forms are a doddle, albeit exhaustive, so don't panic about them either

If you need anymore help at all, don't hesitate to PM me

GOOD LUCK
