Looking for IT jobs (beehaw.org)

Hopefully this is alright to post here.

I live in the US and am trying to move to somewhere around the Ottawa area to be with my partner and her daughter, but I am having a lot of trouble trying to find jobs that would sponsor for a work visa.

I do IT sysadmin, AWS engineer, Linux work, but can't seem to find places that are hiring or will sponsor. Is this something that is very hard to find or am I just looking in the wrong places?

I have 2 kids and am trying to move there to keep them safe and retain their bodily rights as they get older.

If anyone knows anything or has any ideas for help, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you

if you know of a way to find remote-only IT jobs from the states that are able to be applied to by Canadians, I'm all ears.

The part that's been depressing me is that even if I search for jobs that are "remote only" I still get postings that say "must be in proximity to x" where x is a US city that I'm at least 10 hours drive away from.
