COL is higher than the US across the board, but coming from a big East-Coast US city the costs aren't crazy to me. That said I saw an article about how Vancouver is now the most affordable city in North America, so maybe my perception was skewed by NYC-DC prices. Taxes are a bit higher but nothing insane; I feel the pinch more at the grocery store buying produce.
The salaries in Canada, however, are just not up to par with the US. The CAD to USD currency rate is also not amazing (0.77 CAD to 1 USD last I looked).
I work remotely for an American company, but if I didn't it would be a huge pay cut for me.
