Did some searching online... In the USA, the average salary for a General Practice Physician (according to salary.com) is $234,090 (USD); according to Indeed it's $218,056 (USD) per year. In Canada, the median annual salary for a General Practitioner (GP) is $227,218 (CAD).

So not exactly at par but probably likely still attractive. When you factor in the political climate, I can see how some may choose to move here.

You’re forgetting about the exchange rate. It’s more like 220kish USD vs 170Kish USD

Exchange rate? If you’re not in the US and not importing goods from the US, that’s meaningless.

Then you need to compare salary to something like CPI. What can the money buy?
