US contractor job while living in Canada? Would that pay higher than a Canadian contract?

What about education and stuff for children? Will it be very expensive?

What type of wealth do you think I can build up with this plan?

Kind regards

US tech wages almost always pay a significant premium over Canadian companies. However, most US companies have separate Canadian pay bands to match the lower Canadian salaries.

Education isn’t cheap, but it’s less crazy than the US. Also, you don’t have to pay to go to the doctor.

How much money you can save will depend largely on where you live. Toronto and Vancouver are pretty expensive, there are lots of cheaper options that would help you build wealth with a good paying remote job.
