Not gonna be easy... In my experience most employers if not all will require that you have permanent resident status at the very least. This of course requires you to spend a certain amount of time living here.

Start here and be realistic.

Your best bet is to go through the list of companies under the Charters/Corporate/Medivac for all the provinces and send out resumes. Winter is typically slow for pilot hiring at the low levels, but it'll pick up around March. A fresh CPL will not get you into most of the companies listed under airline.
Many of us purchased a cheap car, filled it gas, our resumes and a suitcase and continued driving until we hit the opposite coast or someone decided to hire us. There are a lot of companies in Canada that see e-mail and phone calls from pilots as lazy.
Oh yeah...You'll also need your Group-1 Instrument Rating if you want any multi-time, otherwise it's summer skydiving, banner towing, pipe line patrol or instructing if you want to spend more money. Also, a 3-year work permit rather than permanent residency may limit some of your options.
You'll probably (but not certainly) end up working a ground job (refueller, flight follower, etc.) before you step into an airplane. Don't put your nose up to it as that closes a lot of doors quick. Plan on anywhere between 1 to 3 years doing that. If the economy is good, it may be 1. If its bad it'll be 3.
