Beyond the QIIP, there are a whole host of provincial nominee programs where provinces can set their own criteria that are different from the federal government: https://moving2can…

Yes. Absolutely. It so much more than makes up for lost government benefits. Health insurance working for a decent US tech company generally requires some out of pocket, but the am…

Quite frankly the "all your money will go to healthcare" meme doesn't really apply to the kind of person who's leaving Canada for a much high-paying US tech job. A person like that…

This may be true in parts of Europe, but it's not so clear cut in Canada. We have a decent tech job market in our 3 major cities (Montreal/Vancouver/Toronto), but it's mostly bad e…

You make much more than $130k-$160k as an engineer at Amazon, Google, and Facebook in San Francisco or Seattle. H1B salary data is salary only, but stock and cash bonus are signifi…

My sense is the more ambitious Canadian engineers and/or those with high earnings potential will be drastically better off in the US (financially speaking) because the upper end of…
