FYI, Hybride is not games. We are owned by Ubisoft though. I'd say
Ubisoft Montreal would be a good choice since they've been around for
quite some time. It depends on availability though obviously.
Your best bet would be to apply for a job and then get the company to
do the work for the visa.

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!

Hey guys,
Anybody knows how hard is to get job in Canada nowadays in games industry?
I’m considering to move to Canada with my family from Europe, but I do not
know what opportunities are there, and how things are working…I have fair
experience in Character Modeling and I am quite good in Softimage, Maya and
Max, and ZBrush, Mudbox as well…So if anyone has information how to start,
I’d appreciate it. I also consider outsource jobs, so if anyone needs
outsource artist let me know J
I think nowadays standard job-seeking is not really viable, in many cases I
don’t get any response from the companies I try to contact with, that’s why
I’m asking.
Cheers
Szabolcs
