I've noticed from recruiter email that some US companies have decided to go fully remote (no doubt due to COVID-19) and have started looking for talent in Canada, offering a bit more compensation than our local one (not parity) so I expect this effect will start pushing salaries up outside the US, starting with us in Canada due to time zone/language/culture.

Canada has out of control immigration quotas, that will push wages down, and quite a large brain drain to the US.

10x per capita for permanent residency compared to the US.

And the point based system is also... interesting, as one can score very high and yet be unemployable.
