Eidos in montreal have a pretty good reputation aswell. Not as old as
Ubisoft of course, but they seem pretty stable now that Square Enix
bought them and I hear great things from the team over there.

Yeah, I understand your point, but it’s all about lots of
in-house tools built on top of MAX… is MAX still relevant in
today’s game pipelines? My opinion is less and less…

ow Marc you say that like its a bad thing :)
i remember trying to work with 5 characters i modelled rigged
and animated in 3Ds Max, feed back was so slow i had to make
playblasts, (previews) and when i did, the rig and bones would
leave the meshes behind.
i find it difficult to imagine how max is still relevant when
every year game assets get heavier, and i really liked max.

Do you have work permit in Canada?
If not, once you have a job offer in Canada (excluding the
province of
Quebec) it takes 1 day to get the work visa.
