Nope. All real jobs seem to be on workopolis.com and monster.ca. Just apply yourself.I have contacted a few HH's in Toronto, they were totally useless.

Agreed. Its hard enough to find a quant job in Canada. When I did my job hunting I noticed most banks in Canada only take business and finance grads for quant jobs. I got the feeling math and science majors are chop liver to them.

Exactly. This is what I am facing right now. No wonder my prof tells me that Canadian banks are in a stone age.

If you're sticking around in Canada, the most prospective jobs for quants are software firms that deal with financial analytics. Not as much money as working in a bank but its a good place to start.
