The salaries for the US also look weird to me.

Canadian new grads tend towards $60-70k with larger American companies paying closer to $80-90k in the same location. My sampling is heavily biased towards Ontario. I expect Greater Vancouver to be similar but perhaps the rest of Western Canada, along with Quebec and the maritimes are dragging the average down.

The US is not Silicon Valley or NYC. Between the coasts, a lot of developers get <$70k per year salaries.

Maybe it's the same for Canada?

Alberta pays about the same. This is still a long shot from the US and is a major factor why we're always gonna be stuck with a brain drain to the US.
