Toronto is really a massive hub for tech, with most of the largest companies HQ in the country. Waterloo/Kitchener is for more startup based companies and lots of great work in security coming out of Vancouver. Rent in Toronto is expensive but that is the majority of Canada at the moment. Dev salaries I would add are probably between 60k-150k from Junior-Intermediate salaries.

A friend graduated from a world top university and had strong 20-30 years career in software, getting to senior architect level in several companies, with tenures of about 5 years in a company. Moved to Toronto last December and still can't find a position in software industry, which makes me wonder what's that special sauce successful applicants add to their searches.

Canada is good if you are young and want to work for pennies. You can double or triple your salary going to America. I get offers for 250-300k in America but 80-120k in Canada.

If you are senior here they can't pay you so they won't hire you. Also Canada is a shit show not worth moving here. Our media is good at tricking people. There is no health care in Canada or education don't believe the noise.

If you are coming here, be prepared to live in a shared room and cleaning dishes or working at Amazon as a courier. Remember the last 20 years before Uber the fastest way to get a doctor in Canada was to sit in a taxi as the driver probably was a doctor in their country. Your experience when you come to Canada is pretty much useless if it's not Canadian or you don't have a network.
