I'm not referring to remote jobs, there are thousands of WFO jobs open across the country - pick any city in Canada and check the listings. Here's Inside Sales in Winnipeg, for example, over $50k, where homes can be affordable, for example here's a bunch under $250k.How do you see this working when most of the jobs are in Toronto and employers are dead set against remote work? I'll also say it's somewhat grating hearing you repeat the same points seemingly without considering any of the valid counterarguments presented many times in this thread.
Apologies for gratingly beating a dead horse and I think I have considered counterarguments to leaving the GTA for greener pastures. Usually people claim that familial ties or friends keep them in the GTA, but I suspect a lot of people are just settled. I can't let an itch go without scratching, and when I see people complaining that they cannot afford a home in the GTA my mind goes to the obvious solution, do exactly what our immigrant parents did, move to where the conditions are better. Canada is a huge country with opportunities and housing that fit almost anyone who's willing to give it a go. Would I miss my now teenaged kids if they one day move to Yellowknife or Goose Bay? Definitely, but heck, I'm thinking road trip and extended visits to some great parts of Canada.
