Solution is to either work for US-based consultancy OR for US-based company remotely or move to USA.
Alternatively - build your own business.
As a Canadian salaried employee you'll be facing high taxes, shitty pay and shitty weather (albeit Vancouver weather maybe a bit better).
You say that, and it's probably true on average, but I'm making 33% above the average salary for my province. Granted, I don't live in one of the "big" provinces and competition for tech jobs is not as high as it would be in hotspots like Vancouver/Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal.
Granted, I'm making less than an equivalent job in one of the big tech hubs in Canada, but the cost of living is a fraction of what it is in the bigger cities as well.
The pay in Ottawa/Montreal is a disgrace compare to USA/SV.
