I’m kind of in a strange boat right now where I’m really comfortable in Canada yet I can’t shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card, if I ever choose to relocate to the USA. I can live pretty much anywhere I want as I’m a remote employee, but I do travel to the USA for client work.
It’s a tough decision to make. While I consider it, I thought I’d ask the community. So, say you good lemmings?
Are you rich? If you’re at least in the top quintile it’s a good deal, since the crappy government services won’t effect you as much. Probably make sure there’s a way to get back if things get even hairier.
Top quintile is probably insufficient tbh. Most US cities aren’t that great and living in a city on par with Vancouver/Toronto/Montreal gets expensive fast.
