I'm kind of in a strange boat right now where I'm really comfortable in Canada yet I can't shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card, if I ever choose to relocate to the USA. I can live pretty much anywhere I want as I'm a remote employee, but I do travel to the USA for client work.

It's a tough decision to make. While I consider it, I thought I'd ask the community. So, say you good lemmings?

I went to the US for y2k , and was there for 5 years.

I came home with the exact same amount of money as I had when I left. And I also got a deep understanding for the absolute depths of cruel poverty in the US and for safety nets they don't have.

Do it. You'll never be the same, and you'll really appreciate Canada better.

Nicely phrased.
