Both of our recent hires moved here first, and found a job afterwards. Portland is seen as hip and comparatively inexpensive, so if you're going to be unemployed, might as well do it here.

Portland doesn't seems about the same cost-of-living-wise to Toronto, ON. So I don't really see it as 'cheap.' (Maybe compared to NYC...)
