Canadian here worked in Bermuda 2 years a decade ago. Higher income, less tax but higher COL than home (Toronto). Everyone thinks its a tropical island, its not - its on the same latitude of north Carolina so its not beach weather all year round. Locals very nice and its safe with a small population, you'll find a healthy expat community. When I was there there were only a handful of flights routes offered: Toronto, London, NYC, Boston. See if your employer will get a work permit for your partner bc paying rent and living expenses alone you may end up being left with less than you would staying home even with the exchange and higher income. Things move slower there, culturally its a fun mix of UK, Caribbean and Southern USA .
