Thinking of moving to Canada or Australia from the US as my visa will be expiring. Any tips to help me decide which is better/easier for a long term move will be appreciated! Also if you could recommend a city that would be really helpful too. Thank you.

Canada is bleeding in jobs...

AU will offer you higher comp and more job opportunities than CAN. NZ is comparable to CAN

D4- yeah huge difference 😂 (1 AUD = 0.96 CAD)

I'm from Melbourne and would highly recommend it. It's got great opportunities and is an awesome city.

If you end up looking for a consulting role over there DM me. However I think times are tough with covid.

I’m from Canada, now living in the US so here’s the canadian view: Toronto is great and probably easiest to transition. However if you lived in Texas, you may consider Calgary as they are similar in many ways (except for weather). For the most chill and enjoyable city, Vancouver is the best bet.

I’m not sure how salary compares to Australia, but there’s just a lot going for Canada, I won’t list them all, but just in general, great country, great environment (not too many people), with the trade off of lower income even before you take fx into consideration. With that said, you can do quite well still in Calgary if money is very important.

They are but I need a backup plan in case things don't work out

AU is very tough these days!
Know multiple people who got laid off in last few months and those who were on company sponsered visa had 60 days for job hunting. (Your new company has to sponsor you as well).
Plus the PR game has gotten very tough and looks very unpromising considering unemployment rate.

Weather and people are good but we need to earn as well, right 😬

what about GC? did they not start GC ?

They did. This is more of a plan B if things don't work out
