Getting by as a tech worker in Canada is possible. The way I made it work was to take remote roles. Don't live in the Vancouver or Toronto areas, if possible - that's just not going to work, given the out-of-control cost of living associated with both areas. There are still plenty of places one can live in Canada that are not saddled with such costs.

- derefr 10y agoWhat exactly is the benefit of living in Canada if you're outside of the cities, anyway? From what I can see (having lived in both urban and rural Canada, and the US) Canadian cities have a unique character, but rural Canada is pretty much the same as rural America. If you don't care about living "near" anything, why does it matter what country you're doing it in?
