I agree, TO job market is tough. People around the world think that because we went unscathed by the 2008 recession and all our banks are top notch that we are booming and all the jobs are here. We have the most CFAs per capita in the world I hear, everyone has an MBA or some other degree - it is cut throat here.

I'm doing an MBA in TO. We were told that TO has the lowest advertised job rate in the world (5%). If you want a job here you need to know somebody.

^ totally agree. Also, some organizations (such as gov't) are required to advertise jobs (which are almost always already earmarked for someone). Going through a recruier is probably the fastest easiest way to get your foot in the door. Only downside is that the recruiter will gouge you until you manage to cut them out of the arrangement...
