"Canadian salaries are a joke"
Yup.
It's due to a lot of reasons, but that will change if the talent is there.
It's particularly pernicious in Van where the cost of living is crazy, less so in Toronto.
I live in Montreal - and my flat would be 6500/month in San Francisco. It's really nice. The culture is great. Cost of living is peanuts. There are smart people, and 10x more cute girls than SF.
If you grew up in the cold and can hack that, then it's in many ways a great choice.
Also if you have a hookup at a good company because they are rare here.
Nobody can compete with SF for talent. Nobody - I would not imply that.
But depending on what you are doing - TO, Van and Montreal can make good choices. Again - very situationally dependent.
