Is there a job crisis in Montreal these days for graduate architects, or it is just an illusion I have? Any suggestions?

Why do you think so!? I'm an architect looking for a job in Montreal and I have lots of difficulties to find one! Give some more information about it?

No one is even answering to the mails/CV I send. i am starting to be angry. I graduated from McGill last december and still looking since then. Good luck to you too ik.

Remember that potential employers are not bound to replying to unsolicited cvs. Is Toronto not the main business centre?

Only to Ontario, really (and itself).

the question is to know how deep is the trench between studies and profesionnal world. does university makes us (im also a fresh worker) living in illusion?

Unfortunately, YES:( , there is a crisis in Montreal in Architectural field... I lived in Montreal before, finished master degree in architecture, 5 years experience and all I could hear was that I am over qualified!!! it was just silly, I sent maybe 60 CV's and got only 1 reply! after that I sent 4 CV's to Ireland and they were calling me the next day..in 2 weeks I was there and after 3 days had 4 job offers...so far so good....Montreal, great city to live and to have fun, but hard when it comes to find a job, and also a job that they will pay you! so as my advice, go somewhere else, you will only lose your time, also you have to speak perfect french if you DREAM about finding ANY job there.;) ..so good luck, pack your bag and move somewhere else.... Toronto would be my first choice! good luck!

I am a private person looking for an architect to do a job in extending my home.

I live in Montreal.

I don’t know if you are located here.

Can we work together?



Please let me know,

Thanks,

Matilda

I think the architectural market in Montreal is not too bad now. Some firms can't find the right employees for the current job. So the important thing is to build up your experiences....But without a job, How to get experiences...?...no idea...but one thing I am sure is that the market there is not bad.
