Hi,
I'm french and I've just finished my 3D studies. I'm now looking for a job and I would really love to work in Canada. I've studied english for 3 years at university so the language is not really a problem for me.
My question is how can I go to Canada ? What do I need to be allowed to work there ?
Thanks for your help, and if someone can give me a site with some animation studios' addresses I'd be very interested.

this is definitely NOT a comprehensive list, but it may give you a good head start on making some contacts.

Also check out Alias|Wavefront and Avid (Softimage). They both have locations in the French areas of canada. (Toronto and Montreal respectively.)

Good luck...!

Try this site for a list of companies in Canada.

Montreal is a great city and has some excellent studios.
It may make you more comfortable and at ease if you are bilingual.
Good Luck!!!
