I'm Going to Canada!! What should i expect?

Well no doubt that this is a common listing on all Pilot chat sites, unfortunately though I haven’t found the answers that I am after yet.
I am going to Canada, next Feb to find a job. I am young (24) and have 1400 TT and 500 Turbine. I am of the impression that Canadians are like Aussies in the regard that they aren’t going to employ anyone on the other side of the country or planet for that matter, without being in their face pushing for it.
What I ask of you all that have successfully ventured into Canada and those from Canada, am I doing the right thing? To get a work VISA I need sponsorship, to get sponsorship I need a job, so the plan (if you could call it that) is to go over for a holiday, have some fun and if I can get sponsorship from an employer then the ball will continue to roll........ The only other option I can see to this is finding a job first, which seems unachievable sitting here in Australia.
How has it worked for you?

Your thoughts are appreciated......
