What's not to understand?

Guy is offering $42 per hour.

Doing 170-180 hours per month you can get more than 100K Canadian,
even with falling US dollar.
Does this seem lowest rate to you??

Since it is a contract job, you can write off good part of your living
expenses.
The down-side is that you will have to file with both IRS and RevCan.

Besides - Russian, Chinese or Indian immigrants are often 
better programmers than Waterloo-educated ones with inflated egos.
And they will work harder, for sure.
If they have Canadian citizenship (as req. by orig. sender) then they
have at least passing knowlege of English and life-style which is
needed for normal work in US.
