I got a $160K base in Canada at a good opportunity and $140K base without too much effort. But I had a great pedigree, a ML + software background and my Resume had a 90+% follow-up rate. Admittedly this was Toronto which outside of Vancouver is unlike the rest of Toronto. You need to find the right opportunities though because a lot of organizations cap out at $110-$150K depending on who they are and what they value.
