And with the current exchange rate... $106k USD is ~$140k CAD... so about half.

It's interesting that Toronto is 10% below the national average of Canada. I wonder where the highest salary is? Vancouver perhaps? Waterloo?

Thank you kindly.

What about the cost of living in these places?

A decent 1 bedroom apartment in downtown Toronto will run you about $2500 CAD/mo.

A decent 1 bedroom apartment in San Francisco will run you about $3500 USD/mo. Or about $4700 CAD/mo.

So you make a good point.

If you can afford to own your home however that really makes the move worth it though, imho.
