Here's my opinion, and opinion only.

Rest of Canada:

Right now, I see 2 options. Alberta(oil patch for some, Calgary for others)and Toronto.

Calgary is fucking cold and Toronto is...an interesting place.

United States:

Well, choosing a place is overwhelming, but the problem is how to do it. You can get a job, and have them say they need you over an American. That will get you residency.

You can fuck your way to a citizenship, but you are screwed if you aren't the marrying type, or already have a SO.

World:

Good luck coming home.

So, we are stuck in Vancouver.
