Do you have burger citizenship?
Do you have the income required to move?

Moving for better gains is always a good idea, if you can afford it and understand the risks. Canada, especially Ontario, is a sinking ship. Brain drain will be back with a vengeance once Trump gets into office. If you can move safely then move. Look into other places outside commiefornia and see if you can find better returns

consider also that the average house in toronto is over $1M canadian.
i would if i were you.
you will have lots of disposable income so you can fly back to toronto on your vacations.

No I don't have burger citizenship but I'm sure perm resident isn't hard to get in my situation.

As for the income required to move, yes I do.

Why do you say Ontario is a sinking ship? And as for other places outside of California, they have the best returns in terms of the job I'm going for.

27% increase in Cost of Living, however, a 100% increase in pay if you do move.. No brainer desu

Yea and you get a shitty rundown townhouse for that kind of money. Or if you buy a condo, you're paying at least 500-600k minimum for a small box in the sky.

Im trying to continue my apprenticeship and toronto has lots of people hiring but the drive is fucking terrible and I cant live there because the cost of living barely matches how much I would make. Im in the Niagara region and all the construction work here has dried up.

just move to san jose for 5 years or so? you will probably learn more there and save more money. by then toronto real estate may have gone down and bottomed out so you can move back. demographics - when more baby boomers retire, they're going to need to sell their houses to have money to live. housing market in toronto will be flooded with supply.

500 square foot sky coffin in uptight frozen wasteland vs brand new house with pool in tropical paradise fucking hot bitches. tough choice.

Immigration law is fuckery compounded. There is no such thing as easy.

If you think the company is going to be around, and you're single, doo eet.

If you're married with children, NO NO NO. Your spouse will not be able to work, and you will not be able to house/feed/educate kids on a single income in the Bay Area.

But if you're single and you can get in on a TN-1 or H-1B, do eet. (If TN-1, become H-1B as soon as possible). From H-1B, you can become permanent resident, but that's going to take another year or two for labor cert and the usual DHS waiting. You can probably cut some time off that with "consular processing" but you don't need to worry about that until you get the LC, and the earliest that can happen is 2-3 years from now.

Worst-case scenario for single individual is company goes tits-up, you pay the last month's rent, and fly home. If you can skip one sweltering Toronto summer or one fuck-this-shit-called-snow winter, you're ahead of the game in terms of quality of life, and you'll have some interesting things to talk about on your resume.

keep risk and competition in mind.

for example somewhere like NYC js excellent to work a high paying job... if you can find it. but everybody wants to live where its exciting and get paid a great wage, and so you're competing with 10x more people than you would be in Toronto. not only that, but you will have more difficulty moving up thanks to your competitors.

it might be worth considering building up your experience in low cost of living areas with small populations. If you spend 3 years in toronto as opposed to san jose youd probably move up much more quickly. and, companies take your location into consideration when you look to move up and move to a new location.

Commiefornia is a shithole of the highest order.
I turned down a $98k offer + $7k moving expenses the second they said the only position is in San Jose.

You're going into software right? Well the offer you got is a huge fucking lowball; 6 figures is they offer graduating students with 2.7 GPAs like me right out of college with zero experience.

You'll be the poorest cuck for 50 miles. You'll still have to work extra long hours with no over time though, so that you don't get fired and replaced by Pajeet who's gunning to take your position at an even lower wage. And in fact you shouldn't get to close to anyone because the average job lifespan is about a year.

Oh and you'll be living in a heavily male dominated industry/city too, so you better love sucking dicks because you certainly won't be able to afford the 5/10 gold digging vapid whores.

Tropical paradise? Kek, yeah the feeling of walking up and walking around in a veritable dog's mouth is great. Not being able to go outside in pants or you'll die of heatstroke is fantastic.

Enjoy getting robbed by minorities and then shot to death by one of the most corrupt police force in the USA.

It's a 10 year process to immigrate legally and I doubt you can be a police officer if you are not a citizen.
