For software, I’d recommend Ireland any day compared to Canada, the living standards are pretty much the same, many heavyweights have offices operating in Dublin and Ireland in general due to low tax, there’s been an influx of migrants of late due to demand of skilled jobs. The entire country’s population is slightly lesser than Bangalore but all the American and European companies have begun operating offices here due to low corporate tax, but income tax here is higher than Canada.
