    How much money do you have?

    The only affordable places left are absolute shitholes

    If money is no object, move to Victoria

        You’ll still need a work permit to work in Canada, even for a US company remotely. So hopefully you’re up to speed on that process. In terms of where to live, there are some places in BC outside major cities that are affordable. Might be worth taking a road trip around to check some out

        Will you be able to work remote from Canada?

        That’s enough money to live basically anywhere. 90k usd is a lot more money than most people make in Canada.

        If I could live anywhere and work remote it would probably be Masset, Ucluelet, Nelson, or maybe Whitehorse if you don’t mind the cold. Victoria if you really want city

          I lived in Anchorage for 3 years. I am down with cold! 🤣 We have offices and employees all over the world, so that should not be an issue.

            Honestly, Manitoba may not be a bad choice for you (unless the no mountains thing is a deal breaker).

            • left leaning government for at least another three years
            • $120k CAD salary will be very comfortable anywhere in the province
            • cold as balls half the year (since you’re okay with cold)
            • lots of farmland for locally grown food

            Yukon is a very special place to say the least. Think Alaska but with extreme friendliness and a left wing attitude.

            • Curious to see about this. I was in a similar situation (“offices and employees all over the world”) but still could not get my company to sponsor me overseas, even though my direct manager and my skip worked really hard to try and make it work.

          A year might work or would be nice. Barring any catastrophic tsunami’s or hurricanes. After that, I fear it might sink into the sea.
