Canadian software engineers paid peanuts

Like everything it is a factor of supply and demand. On the demand side there is not as great a demand from employers for software engineers in Canada, on the supply side immigration is considerably easier into Canada for software engineers. Less demand and greater supply = lower wages.

We have the same issue here in Australia.

Not to refute you completely. Maybe it because there are not many companies that can be created with small populations as Canada and Australia? Which results in less companies.

US benefit far more from big large single market with high purchasing power than anything else. IMHO.

Let me know if I am missing something here.

Same in the UK but more severe.
