Not significantly, but less. I get the double of that avg salary mentioned in that link. (I am a 10 years exp dev)

But I think the salaries will go up as more US companies setup shops here as the talent pool rises because of economic immigration.

I consider the pay ok because I get healthcare for free, do not have to worry about my visa, childcare is cheaper, spouses can work, my Canadian equivalent of 401k will not be lost like when I was in US on H1B. If I ever want to work in US, I can work on TN visa too.

It also depends on what you want. I opted for certainty and a good family life over the money.
