I don't know much about the state of the job market in Canada, but let me just pass on one thought.

I know an experienced DBA from Romania who is having difficulty finding a job here in Southern California. It's not that he isn't qualified, it's that few employers here speak Romanian. So they can't call any of his former employers to confirm his skills. He told me he wishes he had asked his Romanian employer for a letter of recommendation (or something similar) before he left Romania. Something he could get translated into English and have it notarized as an accurate translation. Then at least he could include that with his resume.

I don't know whether you're from French-speaking or English-speaking Canada, but you might consider doing something similar before you leave the Brazilian job. Of course, there are far more immigrants from Brazil than from Romania in North America ... but it won't hurt in case you want to apply at a company where no one who can ask (and understand) your Brazilian employer about a recommendation.

Just a thought. YMMV. And good luck in your pursuit of an Oracle DBA career!
