There's a fair bit of work going on in Canada, but some of it seems that there's a significant portion of it driven by the availability of subsidies being offered. Take some time and read up what's been going on at VFX Soldier: http://vfxsoldier.wordpress.com/
You'd be better off with a company that has a long presence and a proven track record of doing right by their staff as opposed to the ones that have just popped up in order to take advantage of that free money. Those jobs might not stick around once that money is gone. I hope this helps, I'm just tired of hearing stories about people in our community getting jerked around when all they want to do is work and have some kind of stability in their lives. Good luck!
