Subject: obtain a canadian greencard while in OPT in US
  Hello everyone,

I just got a bachelor degree from a U.S state university in Computer Science.
And currently I am in optional practical training. What are my chances of getting a job in Canada and/or getting a canadian permanent resident card.
Also how do I get a job in Canada?..... Is U.S "EAD"(employment authorization document) valid in canada also?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

What makes you think that OPT or work authorization in USA will be valid in Canada also. They are two different countries. Your OPT is only for one year and PR application from US approximately takes between 18-24 months. And minimum one year work experience is the pre-requiste to to submitt an application. If you do not have work experience at all, you are not qualified to apply.

To get a job in Canada is same as USa, the only difference is that in USA there are probably more jobs than in Canada. You may register with some canadian job search websites and apply for the jobs but do not keep the hopes high unless you are some big IT shot.

A recent university graduate has very few chances of getting job in Canada especially when you are not a permanant resident even. However, no harm in trying your luck. If you have one year of experience, submitt your application under skilled worker category and try to secure H-1 in USA before your OPT expires.
