Canada is cold, Australia is poisonous. Take your pick

Toronto has the same weather (or slightly better) than most of the Northeast US given the lake effect (cold weather and snow gets dumped on Buffalo and is much better by the time it crosses the lake to Toronto).

Australia is earlier in the alphabet - makes it easier when scrolling through the online forms for which country you live in.

I assume some barrier preventing you to get to the US. If US is the ultimate destination, the easiest path is probably via Canadian citizenship - Just IMO

Australia has IMHO taken a turn for the racist in the last decade or so, and (although havent lived in Canada) I do think more racist than Canada. however not a patch on the institutional issues that exist in the US. Professional Services also is a very multi ethnic work environment as you'd expect.

I'm Australian living in US.
