Is it the right time to move to Canada?

Question

I am planning to move to Canada (from France, Paris) and I am not sure about the timing. With all the COVID situation, is recrutement for Software Engineering active ? I am a Certified Solution Architect btw (https://e-nouri.com) and I am wondering about my chances of finding a good fit position.What are the best ways to apply or to find American style companies / startups (not the french ones)? Are there any specific platforms like Hired.com or Talent.io for the North American market ?

I don&rsquo;t know where you plan to come in Canada, but I&rsquo;ve been living in Montreal for almost three years now (I&rsquo;m French too, and a senior developer), and I can assure you that you&rsquo;d have absolutely no problem to find a job here. I&rsquo;m pretty sure this works for other big Canadian cities as well&hellip;Just be careful about recruiters that will promise you a good salary compared to French ones, whereas here they would be considered mediocre ;)

One possibly relevant question (I'm not considering moving to Canada myself): what are the travel restrictions to Canada due to the epidemic? &mdash; Would someone actually be able to get a visa, a flight, and an apartment right now?I was somewhat surprised that a Canadian friend even succeeded in moving from one city to another during the epidemic (I mean, not because of legal obstacles, just logistical obstacles).
