Canada for Tech Jobs?
Is now a good time to move to Canada for tech-related jobs, data science/analytics in particular? What parts of Canada should one consider?

I've worked in tech in Vancouver for a decade. I wouldn't recommend it if the US is an option for you or if it's not remote work. The salaries are still quite far behind the US and the cost of living in any of the major cities will keep you from getting ahead. It's not bad though, it just could be better.
Montreal has a lot of gaming companies as well as some startups if you are interested. Pay is lower than other provinces but cost is also lower. You don't really need French to feel comfortable here from my experience.
