I only have experience with Eastern Canada (aka Southern Ontario, Montreal, and the Maritimes), but the only way that I've seen where you'd get a high salary and low cost of living is if you can get Torontoesque salary with a comp

Gives a good reason to remove term limits; keeps folks from proposing silly things like this, knowing that they won't be held accountable by the electorate as they can't run after their term is up. Of course that takes an informed

I'm sure anti virus makers will be happy about the lowering of sales in the NZ marketplace....and the increase in virus proliferation soon afterwards. Could the government get sued for that? :D

Supply and demand and perception is pretty much what it boils down too. There's a lot of PHP apps, and a lot of terribly written PHP apps. Add that companies that hire for such positions have a plethora of options for cost-effective (r

I second this. Have a mate of mine that has five years in C and has been able to walk into any shop that he wants, regardless of language they use, and get a gig, and well paying to boot. On the other end of the scale, I have almost six yea

I'll second this. I've yet to ever see any PHP job short of architect paying that amount here (most are 70k or less), same with Java and Perl. I'd like to know where this was collected from....I need to move there.

I seem to recall Canada either is debating or already has similar legislation in place (memory fails me sadly). Although we do definitely have lots of wide open space, mainly because it's either arctic desert, bare rock, or is below fr

Ya the H1B has pretty much been crossed off my list for those reasons. I think I looked into the Green card lotto, and if I recall right being from Canada, I'm at the back of the bus on that, but I'll have to look into it again. A
