If I didn't presently make my own schedule, my commute would regularly be 90-100 minutes. Even then, sometimes it can't be avoided. I'm not driving in snow, though.

Not in O+G. I love the nature scene in the PNW (I used to take more advantage of it before kids - my three little ones are still relatively pretty little) but that will definitely be a factor.

This is a HUGE factor in my consideration.

I’ve moved both ways across the border. It’s surprisingly easy as long as you have all the proper documentation.

Not a Canadian citizen, though I would be interested in becoming one. If I understand from brief internet research, I'd want to establish gainful employment and establish permanent residency in order to apply. I realize it's a process and one I'll need to vet much further if we get to that point. Good to know you've been able to navigate it relatively easily.

Not my area of experience, but I'll message you!
