money

fly

If you want to make money in Canada to travel more, then come here. But really there's nothing else here. it does have an airport to fly somewhere better though, which is nice.

Come here to work a few years, then fly to bangkok with all your money.

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.
