Entirely true. I'm a Canadian who now lives in the US working in tech, working in Canada again just isn't on the table since I'd be slicing my pay in half. For the big cities in Canada such as Vancouver and Toronto, you're looking at all the big problems of living in cities such as San Francisco but without the salary to compensate. Crime, sanitation, high housing costs.

It's definitely true that it's easier to work in Canada if you're not Canadian, but for Canadians, the US is simply the place to be. Besides, I really don't miss the -40 winter weather :)
