Any Canadian's considering moving to the USA?

  • I worry about your reading comprehension because I said I need to use less energy in the first place (ugh)

  • The only reason it’s that low in Ontario is because it’s hidden behind fees. Delivery alone would literally double my bill sometimes.Not to mention I don’t need to use heating in the winter at all. I still pay less in California.

  • Most of Ontario is small places that cost basically nothing to live in or empty space.

    And yet most people live in the GTA, because jobs are sort of required to live.

    A car is still the same price no matter where you are in Ontario, same with food, same with electricity. You also get paid 4x less. The camper stories are extreme edge cases.

  • I moved to California a couple years back. I think it is absolutely worth the move. Especially as a software developer, you can make 4x what you do in Canada.

    The biggest complaint I have is TN is annoying to renew, but overall it's not a big deal at all. If your work is sponsoring a green card, then that is the cherry on top.

    My quality of life is greatly increased. I make way more, and also pay way less for groceries, cars, electronics, internet/cell phone. Los Angeles is literally more affordable for me than most of Ontario lol

    I think moving would only be worth it if you're in a professional career that makes more in the US, otherwise your QOL will obviously be worse here.
