Judging by the Canadian governments' websites the IT industry over there is just as messed up by three letter consultancies as the UK one.
They currently have a rather wonderful way to find just about anyones personal details: just search for them on the passport website.

Oi! Canada's not big enough (even though it is massive) for the contractors who are already there. stay away.
Besides just this week its been -17C with storms on the way. Why would you Spain loving even think of going there?
But at least the education standard is higher..so your kids will be smarter than you. ha ha

I looked into contracting out there, didn't get as far sorting out insurances as I soon found out that you can't get a job without a work permit and, guess what! You can't get a work permit without a job!
If you have skills that are in extreme shortage, or going out there because your current role requires you to work there then you should be ok. Otherwise, companies are (from the experience I had) very reticent to sponsor you for a permit and the agencies (like over here) want proof you are allowed to work in Canada before they'll even consider talking to you.
Plan B is to apply for residency and brush up on your French to boost your points but this route can take up to five years if you don't have a job lined up.
Good luck, it'll be worth it if you get there!

I think there have been a couple of threads on this already...but can't get time to find them for you.
I've never had indemnity when I was working as a contractor. If someone asks for it, bribe 'em with a bottle of scotch.
have a look at

there is a links page there that can provide you more info.
