Oh - I met a partner in Canada and when we looked at the costs to immigrate one way or the other it made a lot more sense to move up to Canada. Additionally the service offering was quite attractive up here, I'm in BC so there isn't any free pharmacare but there still is a pretty large provincial subsidy program.

Additionally I was pleasantly surprised, when I moved up, to learn that Canada doesn't have the same culture of greed. I feel like, if you aren't making every cent possible in America that you could - if you aren't constantly extracting the absolute maximum revenue - you're looked down on. Up here I've found a much nicer focus on balancing work with interests.
