Working in Canada as a full-time employee usually accompanied by being low-balled on your salary from many angles. If you negotiate higher salary - hold you enthusiasm - you'll be the first on a list to be fired if things go soar (which pretty much is a fact of life for most Canadian startups). High paid people in Canada are working as a consultants mostly for US-based entities or at an enterprises with a strong international exposure or as an entrepreneurs with US- or international exposure themselves. Being pure Canadian employee in Canada sucks and always sucked. Degree matters in large companies due to regulations and they tends to hire some extremely dinosauric skill verification firm to cause you major hassles to verify your background. Smaller companies just need to make sure your skill match your resume and hence they'll bore you to death on their interviews with coding questions. If you are hired, expect to become the one asking coding questions the very next day :)
