VMware

Hello techies ! I’m a Cloud Engineer with 12 years of experience (technical post sales support, then PS delivery, and now presales and consultancy) I currently work in the American vendor VMware in Paris. Decided to relocate to Canada (got my papers), applied for hundreds of jobs but no one is contacting me and this is making me worried ! Is it my CV, my profile, my salary expectation, summer and everyone is off, not a hiring cycle currently? Or what? Any advice please?
