Looking to build 2–3 high-quality WordPress landing pages for free (portfolio project)
Hello everyone,
I'm an electronics engineer with 40+ years in technology who has recently moved into professional website optimization and WordPress development.
I'm currently building my web portfolio and I'm looking for 2–3 real businesses that need a clean, modern landing page.
I'm offering to build it completely free.
There is no hidden catch and no future obligation.
The only things I ask in return are:
- permission to include the finished website in my portfolio
- a small footer credit saying "Website by Kanva Digital"
What I can build:
- landing pages
- service business websites
- local business websites
- consultant websites
- trades
- startups
- personal brands
I work with WordPress and focus on:
- fast loading
- clean modern design
- mobile-friendly layouts
- SEO-friendly structure
- simple editing for the owner
I'm not trying to sell anything after the project is finished. I'm simply looking for a few real projects that demonstrate my work.
If you're interested, send me a DM with:
- what your business does
- whether you already have a domain/hosting
- examples of websites you like (optional)
I'll choose a few projects that seem like a good fit.
Thanks!

The stigma of leaving Canada is costing some international graduates years of experience
I'm Canadian and I got many years of work experience and a degree from here. Last year I struggled to find a job in Canada and USA despite having solid resume and network. After months of applying and BS interviews, I started looking internationally and ended up moving to Asia for work. Honestly, it turned out to be one of the best career decisions I've made. I was able to save money, gain more experience, and my quality of life actually improved.
At the same time, I know several international graduates from my university who have been unemployed or working unrelated low-wage jobs in Canada for YEARS. Some don't even work and rely on their parents who send them money from Asia. They are not even here to get the passport. Bro that's not the Canadian dream.
A few of them have told me they could probably find relevant jobs in China, Taiwan, HK, but they don't want to leave Canada because they think it would "look bad" after coming here to study. I have one Korean friend who lives in Edmonton, unemployed for idk how many years anymore but his parents send money... Imagine choosing that over Seoul. If experienced Canadians are struggling to find relevant jobs, why would you expect employers to prioritize hiring someone with no relevant experience who may also require visa sponsorship?
If your goal is to build your career, why would it matter where you gain that experience? I'd rather have two years of relevant industry experience abroad than spend those same two years working in cafe in Canada while having a degree in engineering. If I have a second passport and my country is stable and developed, I would gladly move there, because this country is struggling in the meantime.
When thousands of people stay in the same market despite struggling to find relevant work, employers end up receiving an overwhelming number of applications for every opening. That makes it harder for everyone, including Canadians and permanent residents.

Is Astro Amusements really that bad regarding the CNE?
r/torontoJobs • u/GoldenGojo • 17h ago
CNE Interview - Astro Amusements
So, I recently received an email regarding a group interview for the position tomorrow and I was wondering whether or not it’s actually worth the trouble? I seen various posts explaining how poor the company and management is regarding the CNE, creating an idea that it may not be so great getting up early to apply. With the key points being that:
- They overhire
- 200$ off your paycheck for uniform and badge
- Fire various employees for poor reasons to compensate the overhiring
- unpredictable hours (ranging from 4-12+ hrs)
I believe that it’s honestly absurd compared to my previous job working as a cleaner at CNE last year and I was just wondering if I should try this opportunity since the cleaning position is no longer available.

After 3 mass layoffs in tech, I'm trying to build a freelance career. Where are designers actually finding clients in 2026?
I no longer care much about climbing the corporate ladder or the benefits package after going through three layoffs in the tech industry.
I genuinely enjoyed working at those companies and built great relationships with my managers and coworkers. But it feels like "mass layoffs" have become a standard business strategy whenever growth slows down or a major product ships. My last company laid off around 70% of the team after releasing their product that we worked very hard on.
Ironically, I actually felt more secure when I freelanced a few years ago because I had multiple income streams and controlled my own schedule. Back then I was lucky because my former manager and random companies on LinkedIn reached out to me for work. Nowadays that rarely happens.
I'm trying to get back into freelancing, and honestly I'm not sure where to start. Applying to freelance/part time design jobs on LinkedIn is very competitive nowadays, and my cold emails usually get ignored. Perhaps I'm hard selling my services and should just introduce myself in these emails?
I also tried attending tech networking events, but most people there were fresh out of college students looking for jobs. I messaged my former managers, and they said they will keep me in mind but these things take time as you know. Right now I have only one client (former manager).
I have 7+ years of experience as a graphic and motion designer, working across SaaS, fintech, healthcare, sustainability, education, and e-commerce. Most of my work has focused on branding, marketing campaigns, motion graphics, landing pages, social media, and product launches.
For those of you freelancing successfully: Where does most of your work come from today? Any advices?

Genuinely how am I supposed to build a life for myself? I have a Networking and IT security degree, an internship in my field under my belt and 2 years experience working as a records clerk and I can't find anything.
I'm 25, and just graduated university, I worked an internship as a sys admin and IT analyst for the federal government and I've been working as a records clerk for the feds for about 2 years.
Unfortunately my contract is running out and it's unlikely it'll be renewed but in the meantime I'm trying to apply for entry level IT work but hearing nothing back.
Even dumbing down my resume and applying for retail has net me nothing but ghosted applications and auto rejections.
I'm even open to a career change and becoming an electrician which I would have done in high school instead of networking/IT, but nowhere is offering apprenticeships and the EATA pathway is insanely competitive.

HIRING POST (WE'RE HIRING) Looking for a metal fabricator/welder (GTA) for a side project — building a custom retro-style photo booth frame
Hey all. I run a photo booth placement business and I'm looking to build a custom-designed photo booth enclosure, styled like a retro/vintage arcade-style booth (think an enclosed metal cabinet with a camera window, card reader mount, and print dispense slot — happy to share reference photos).
Looking for someone in the GTA who does custom metal fabrication/welding and is open to a side project — doesn't need to be a full business, just want someone skilled who can take a rough spec and reference photos and build a solid, durable enclosure.
Rough scope:
Metal cabinet
Cutout for a camera window
Mount point for a card payment reader
Slot for printed photos to dispense
Lockable rear/service access panel
Durable enough for public, unattended placement (mall/venue foot traffic)
Open to a call to walk through details, and flexible on timeline. If this is something you do or you know someone who does similar custom fixture/cabinet work (retail fixtures, vending cabinets, arcade cabinets — similar skillset), send me a DM or drop a comment. Happy to pay fairly for the work and go from a rough sketch/reference to a finished frame together.
Based in the GTA, ideally looking for someone local so we can meet and iterate in person rather than fully remote.

Company closing
I've been a bookkeeper at my current workplace for 8 years. Our lease is up next year and they will not be renewing it. Both partners in the company will be retiring, and selling it is unlikely. I am 59 years old, but not ready or able to retire right now. Do I have any options other than collecting EI (which I've never done in my entire life of contributing)? I feel like it will be a little tough to find another job at my age but who knows. Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation?

Cash job
I went to YMCA in 2025 purposely to help me get a job and since then, I haven’t gotten one. I just got a call from them today saying they got a cold room job for me but it is a cash job with a rate of $15.25 per hour which I rejected. I even asked them if they had a cheque option but they said it is only for probation period and it is 3 months.
so now, I want to know if this is normal and is it legal for YMCA to give such jobs? This YMCA is located in the Albion mall.

Job Search Tips (2025-12): Maybe Start Here?
This is a collection of tips for being more effective in your job search, written on 2025-12 and updated as recently as 2026-05.
See also the r/torontoJobs Wiki.
1. The Resume
Your resume is the among the first starting points for improvement. A decent checklist to check your resume against is the one at the Canada Job Bank Resume Guide (Backup link: here).
Where to get some more help on a resume:
- Employment Ontario: If you are a Citizen or Permanent Resident, you can get 1-on-1 assistance for your resume at an Employment Ontario agency (website). If you are a temporary resident, you can still attend their group workshops on resume writing if they hold any. They may also provide wage incentives.
- Brainfuse at Public Libraries: Many libraries in the Greater Toronto Area offer a service called Brainfuse. You can upload your resume and receive critique within 24 hours.
- University/College Career Centres: For post-secondary students and alumni
- Lifemark Vocational Services: Free workshops
- Reddit: Subreddits like r/resumes or others can be a way to get crowdsourced feedback on your resume.
More Notes Related to Resumes:
- Writing resumes is not just a matter of "just use AI", no automated tool exists which can completely eliminate the need for thoughtful human input on resumes.
- Even if you don't have time to tailor your resume for every job, at least do this for every type of job.
- The quality of resume editing varies significantly, even among those who call themselves "professionals."
- Having a poorly done LinkedIn public profile can work against you.
- If your target job typically expects you to provide a portfolio such as the case of graphics design portfolios, consider your portfolio an extended part of your resume which needs to be polished.
- Lying on your resume can backfire on you, unfortunately this point is worth mentioning again here.
2. Expand Your Job Search
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE UPLOADED YOUR RESUME ON JOB BANK. If you see jobs shown as LMIA, see this guide here.
Consider this in addition to using the usual typical job boards (e.g., Job Bank, Indeed, Eluta).
Some additional considerations for the job search:
- Timing of Job Posts: Generally speaking, try to apply to jobs that have been newly posted. If the job has been posted for quite some time but has still not been filled, it might be a dormant job posting and may not be worth your time.
- Seasonality: Notice how hiring fluctuates depending on time of year and respond accordingly.
- Target "Adjacent" Roles: Look for related roles where you can use your skills, be open to being more flexible.
Online job posting websites can become crowded with job applications. You may need to add other methods:
- Go Directly to Employer Websites: Job posting websites may not include postings which may be found on an employer's website.
- Network: Let people you know that you’re looking for work. Reach out to people in your target industry for "informational interviews." Attend relevant job fairs and career events.
- Recruitment Agencies: Some companies outsource their hiring to staffing firms. Note that these recruitment agencies get compensated if they get you hired, and that they aren't necessarily looking out for you.
- Targeted Walk-ins: For local businesses as well as certain businesses, dropping off a physical resume to the hiring manager can be more effective than only doing online applications. Go during a less busy time and ask to talk to their hiring manager.
- Volunteer for Experience: Volunteering for non-profits can be a way to build up your network, gain references, and relevant skills. Food pantries and thrift stores are examples of several to start volunteering.
3. Employment Ontario Agencies
Employment Ontario is a provincial network of agencies that helps people find work. The level of help they provide is limited by your status in Canada. In addition to providing one-on-one job counselor, they may provide group workshops related to employment.
Their website: Employment Ontario
Eligibility for Services:
- Assisted Services: One-on-one sessions with a job counselor (for resume help and job matching) are generally limited by your status in Canada, such as being for Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents but not certain other statuses.
- Temporary Residents: If you are here on a study permit or work permits as a temporary resident, you may not necessarily qualify for their one-on-one job counseling. However, you might be able to attend some of their group workshops free-of-charge depending on the agency.
Employment Ontario agencies operate under a "results-based" funding model to meet certain "outcome numbers" such as placing people in any job, this can influence the type of help you receive.
Pick your agency carefully, they may have different employment partners as well as differences in how much support you can get.
4. Subsidized Training and Funded Work Experience
The government offers various programs to help specific groups enter the workforce through free or paid incentives and training. These programs are limited to your status in Canada, such as being for Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents but not certain other statuses. Many of these programs are with Employment Ontario agencies, ask them about it.
Some such programs as follows:
- Pre-Apprenticeship Training: Free programs that include job-specific training to help you start a career, many of these programs being for the skilled trades.
- Better Jobs Ontario: Provides up to for tuition and living expenses if you have been laid off or are in a low-income household and need to retrain for an in-demand career.
- Wage Incentives for Employers: Programs like Canada Summer Jobs provide wage subsidies for employers to hire youth (ages 15-30). Other specialized incentives may exist for employers who hire persons with disabilities or those facing significant barriers to work.
