Maybe try working for the visual effects industry in Canada? It might be easier for you to immigrate from the inside. VFX industry has lots of tax write offs in Canada, so, they hire a lot. That might be an edge for you. Try Sony Imageworks, Double Negative, Image Engine, Method, Encore, Motion Picture Company. You don't need to have a background in art, they need lots of technical help.

The real thing that sucks is that you can't get hired under NAFTA, which has no limit on the number of years you can work in Canada.
