in the last 6 years the CAD went from 2.3 to 3.68 . Now equal to the USD. Around a 60 % change for a total 30% pay increase from EK Momcorp .. Good deal if your single or want to be, want a rapid upgrade for a move onto JET, KO,JSTAR or some place better, but for a career move with wife and kids, not a good choice. Stay home, pay tax and keep sanity. You may have to keep the same wife though.
