i am just finishing my studies here
and I am wondering which areas/cities it might be more beneficial to stay in...
The west coast, Vancouver
or the east, with Toronto and Montréal...

The industry seems to be cut up into two--
There are designers that craft the products themselves, and then there are some that have clothing manufactured at a separate factory

From the research I've done for Vancouver, so far I've noticed there are a lot more designers in the first category (crafting their own products). They might be good for getting work experience but there's a probability you won't get hired...
However for Montréal I read there have been designers who have sold textile designs (knits) to independent designers, so perhaps that means the designers generate enough income to buy someone else's designs and also have it produced at a mill... So there is more of a chance of getting work in this case, imo.

I'm just looking for any advice, based on experiences...
