[geoff's two cents]

Regrettably, my partner and I had to leave Hamilton because of a lack of work. We would have happily stayed had there been some form of financial sustenance to keep us. Our experience with the various agencies was not a positive one - even with a couple years of financial administrative experience and a masters degree.

Good luck though. If you do land a job through an agency, let us know on the forum which agency you were going through. Given the chance, I'd love to return to Ontario.
