For a pretty comprehensive list of the Montreal Game Dev Studios: http://www.mtlgs.ca/montreal.html There's a HUGE Film/VFX industry here, as well as medical/military simulations, Bombardier. There's TONS of opportunities in 3D here outside of games.
Do you have a portfolio readily available? Just about everywhere I know is looking for VFX artists of any level, whether or not its publicly listed. Stinger88 said: lol... This is so true though. JIRA is love, JIRA is life, JIRA is work. All hail JIRA.
