Thanks for the suggestion - I certainly look into that.
Go http://ca.indeed.com/ and have a look. Of course hopefully a Canadian that has a startup on Ycombinator will respond first. ;)
Yes, I've been looking there, and there certainly is lots available. However, a lot of these postings are by recruitment companies, and I don't know how well they handle overseas applicants (although I have yet to try it).
It's a great site for finding what's out there, though.

Maybe talk to a reputable immigration consultant for the best way to move forward. That's probably what I'd do.
Xtreme Labs is hiring 50 engineers, though not sure if all of them will be in Toronto.

I've been wanting to move to Canada for a while now, but I would have to have a valid job offer before I can do so.
Are there any startups (or even established companies, I'm not really too fussed) that are able to accept foreign workers? I'm aware that not all companies can legally do so, which somewhat limits my opportunities.
I do have experience with many languages, and have even produced a web application for a local company, so showing experience shouldn't be too much of a hassle (if required).
