I assume Canada job circumstances would differ slightly than US, also less opportunities i assume so i agree your plan of looking at US makes sense,

Just a note, in the US, my understanding is most companies are not planning on offshoring most jobs overseas even though they are remote jobs basically in the short term. We all do expect more of that to happen in the future though.

My company is US has a deal with the city its in, the state its in as well. Even though we are all remote now (except for the hardware people), all of the employees are expected to live in a commutable distance to the office so post covid going back to work will be a thing.

I think companies get tax breaks and have agreements with municipalities to bring jobs to an area.
