Get a job first, then done.

US based employers tend to like Canadian educated students. Especially if you got good grades.

Also even though Vancouver starts at $60k, it also ENDS at $80k. There is no upper limit to pay in silicon valley.



Does it really top out at $80k? I just moved here from Toronto and I was expecting ~$110k as an iOS dev with a couple years under my belt.


which company pays $110k in Vancouver?


I just moved here and I haven't been looking for work so I wasn't sure. This was just the number I had in my head. I guess I work too much with US clients :)


I talked to a Sr dev in a game tools company in Burnaby and he was making $85k.

The reality is that in Canada tech staff are costs. In silicon valley tech staff are assets.
