Montreal startups hiring: -Transit (transitapp.com) -Unsplash (unsplash.com) -Hopper (hopper.com) -Breather (breather.com) -Sonder (sonder.com) -Busbud (busbud.com) -AmpMe (ampme.com) -Fuzzy AI (fuzzy.ai) -Frank & Oak (frankandoak.com) You can get a pretty nice 1 BR apartment in Montreal for ~$600 US/mo. Incredible bars, beautiful people, great schools, bike paths, and lots of outdoor rinks to play hockey in the winter :-) FYI: Montreal startups operate in English!

  Unlike SF, we have great public transit! Most startups are a 5 minute walk from a subway stop, and it's cleaner/less crowded. Few people own cars here. (But granted, the snow is no joke!)

I'm a lifelong Californian hockey player. This sounds nice! The winters would be tough, though.

    The OQLF (aka "Quebec language police") is relatively in the Trump class. (No personal experience, but this is what my French-speaking relatives in Quebec say, and the occasional news seem to match it.)

      It's really not that bad. It's mainly there to make sure companies don't alienate Quebec's native french speaker. You can do fine in the Qc tech industry even if you barely understand french (Source: personal experience)

    As a Canadian in Germany, you seen nuthin' The German tax ROI seems much better to me, but I miss my $575 Montreal rent.

Also : immigrating to Canada is time-consuming and exhausting (typically 1 year and lots of paper work) but going to Canada with a work visa is quick and painless. Most of the time, startups are taking care of the paperwork and can even help of the relocation. And if you really like the place, after a few months, you can then apply for immigration.

  Is there an age limit?
