I definitely require high speed internet access. Other than that, I could use some help! EDIT: Mountains are not a deal breaker. Water would be nice, but sea level rise is a concern.
EDIT: Oh, Come ONNNN!!!

You’ll still need a work permit to work in Canada, even for a US company remotely. So hopefully you’re up to speed on that process. In terms of where to live, there are some places in BC outside major cities that are affordable. Might be worth taking a road trip around to check some out
I’m in the midst of the process. Road Trip Sounds good. How’s the weather in BC in December? 🤭
Like Washington but colder
Actually, like Washington but warmer and drier - global warming has really transformed the area.
Let us know how it goes. I’m curious to see how you manage to move forward on this. I’m aware of a lot of options here (e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vanhack_working-remotely-from-canada-with-your-current-activity-7120340233904148481-GXUd ) but curious to see which one ends up being the right fit for you in particular.
Did you keep your US job, or find work in Canada? Are you a software engineer? I basically project manage software engineers
I had to find work in Canada, but since I am a software engineer, I was able to take advantage of NAFTA (back when it was still called that) to help me do so.
Rainy on the coast but roads in the interior can get dicey if there’s snow. Stick to major highways.
I don’t know about Canada but, for example here in Japan, a work visa requires a japanese company sponsoring and being the primary employer. I think some kind of digital nomad thing is in the works, but that wouldn’t be long-term.
Edit: looks like OP is trying the company transfer route as their company has branches there. Just something to think about for others thinking of moving around the world.
