Ok so I'm going to start applying for jobs before moving. Just made a new resume: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12891432/RickyGuResume.p...

I was surprised no one brought this up. What is your visa situation?

I can work under TN visa which is very easy to get.

You have to have a job before you are granted a TN visa at the border.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

which company pays $110k in Vancouver?

I just moved here and I haven't been looking for work so I wasn't sure. This was just the number I had in my head. I guess I work too much with US clients :)

I talked to a Sr dev in a game tools company in Burnaby and he was making $85k.

The reality is that in Canada tech staff are costs. In silicon valley tech staff are assets.
