After extensive research, I've found that almost no companies are paying Bay Area salaries for remote work outside the US.

Honestly, no in the tech field at all, I would be surprised anywhere is paying Bay Area salaries in US besides maybe NYC or some other high COL area.

That doesn't seem surprising -- why would they?

The thing, specifically with Canada, is that they don't have a big home grown VC landscape and a few home grown firms. This, coupled with their out of control immigration quotas, creates a market where there's an oversupply.

Now, that creates two markets, those who can't move to the US (won't pass the higher bar for US immigration) and those who won't. I've seen SV comp for the latter. But we're talking O-1 tier engineers.
