You will always make far more money, up north, it is due to the OT and conditions.
One down side to fort mac is that the cost of living is very high, food, accomodations etc. are all expensive as shit. If you can go elsewhere like northern BC you will probably save more money...

food isnt that much more unless you are talking about fast food and restaurants...groceries are marginally higher.....but your wage more than makes up for it.
as for housing...rent is stupid expensive...but cost of buying a house is about the same as Vancouver proper (yes which is over priced)....but the difference is, your basement suite can be rented out as a HUGE mortgage helper.
Think...a $650K house, your basement will easily rent for 2300-2500/month....good luck getting that kind of rent money in vancouver.
