In which city in Canada there are more jobs in this field?
Maybe, I should post it in job board, but I think there are more people(including some canada leaders) here, and I don’t mean that I want to find a job now. Well, could someone tell me in which city in Canada, there are more jobs in this field, such as visual effects, computer graphic design, animation,TV advertisement, and so on.In fact I meant, in which Canada city there are more opportunities of working in animation industry?Thanks in advance.

You should listen to the COW podcast, episode 14.

They talk about Toronto, Ontario.

Don’t know if it matters but Alias, Discreet/autodesk, and Softimage/Avid are all in Montreal and Toronto (somebody correct me if I’m wrong).

I was in Montreal last June for the F1 GP. Out on that strip of restaurants. I look up and there’s Softimage. I know it’s dumb but I thought that’s so cool. I wanted to go for a tour 🙂
But tell them to go finish DS 8.0, I’m getting sick of waiting , lol.

I’m a kiwi, but concider Canada my second home. As listed by others here, Toronto is big (not just with the fact some of the big boys of software developers are there, but its kind of the hub of Canadian made films), having said that, Vancouver is known as Hollywood North, and it has this rep due to the number of stateside productions that skirt over the boarder and film in BC, often using companies in Vancouver to help with post production (visual effects houses such as Stargate Films, and Technicolor).
Depending on the type of animation work you’re looking at, Electronic Arts (EA) also has their motion capture studio in Vancouver (I’m not sure what other animation facilities they have there, I only know about that one beacuse a friend of mine who was a stunty on LOTR did a couple of stints over there for the games of the films). Canada seems to have a very strong film industry, Toronto and Vancouver seem to be the busiest for work, and Montreal would be next on the list from what I’ve seen.
Goodluck!andrew
