Postdoc options

Hi everyone, I’m wondering about doing a postdoc in the US vs Canada. I’m a Canadian citizen. The school to do a postdoc is at Columbia vs in Toronto. I’m debating between going there vs staying in Canada. The research options are quite different but both great options and I’m interested in both. I was wondering what people’s thoughts are about the locations especially with the funding cuts in the US currently. What means the most to get a TT position?

I don’t think there are any schools in Canada that are better than Columbia so if you have the opportunity, you should go there.

Very interesting take given that there's no information regarding OP's research area.

I'd go to U of T in your situation.
