Any Canadians here that have emigrated to the states for FT RE roles?

Would like to see if people have gone south of the border for a pay bump and better opportunities.

Currently working in RE dev in Toronto, but as time progresses I realize how small the industry is here and how limited opportunities are. Wondering if that resonates with others on this sub and if so, how you parlayed your Canadian experience into a role in the states.

Thinking mainly about HCOL cities but open to any stories.
