I had seriously considered moving to Vancouver (from SF) earlier this year, and had job opportunities lined up, but seeing the salary numbers was shocking. Vancouver is an expensive city, about on par with the bay area, but moving there meant taking a 40-50% pay cut. Toronto isn't much better either.

I would love to live there one day, but they really need more competitive salaries if they want to lure talent from the US tech hubs.

Not sure why the downvotes. Canadian companies are not into paying people very well, instead we get news stories about massive outsourcing to India followed by security breaches a few years later (eg, see the news over the last year or two about almost every single one of our major banks)
