There are many online sites where you can find job openings, and you will probably want to use a number of them. Most will allow you to save your searches and receive job alerts by email or RSS feed. When searching for postings, use the Advanced Search options for the best results. Advanced Search lets you tailor your search by combining keywords and choosing options such as location, industry, job title, full-time or part-time. Each site has slightly different features so it is worth spending some time to find which are the best for you.
Here are some suggested Canadian online job boards:
