My marginal tax rate in NYC is not too far off from what it would be in Québec. My income as a not-quite-senior software engineer, however, is ~3.5x higher. Taxes would have to go down below zero for a move to make sense financially. That said, Montréal is a great city and I'm actually considering moving back, despite the dramatic drop in income.
