Do you know what the progression is looking like as of now, from SO to FO to CA? Also, how come CX has JFO and FO? (what is the purpose and difference between the two positions except the pay)?

JFOs are the pilots that upgraded out of the SO position. They are usually restricted to flights within the region so that they get a lot more takeoffs and landings than pilots on the long haul fleets. They also have tighter operation restrictions than a FO.
Right now I am hearing that it is approx 3 years to upgrade from SO to JFO (a little shorter on the A330 and a little longer on the B777). Then 2 years to FO and then approx. 8-10 total years with CX to passenger fleet captain, again depending on the fleet. Freighter captain is much faster...as low as 22 months as of late.

That's a significant difference in pay!

Do you need a residency permit in Canada or can you commute? How are the US based crews taking the ~$15K pay difference?

Does anyone know what the tax implications are for Americans who are based in any of these domiciles? I believe there is a set figure that you can earn aboard that is tax free. Something like 87,500.

Americans based in Canada do not get work permits, all that I know of commute to YYZ. The pay difference, yeah it sucks, I have been with CX for 2 years on the freighter in the US and make 72,500USD while these new guys come in and get paid 92Gs and get better trips, while I rot in ANC in each direction.
Tax free income is only if you work and reside abroad. If you live in the US then you are responsible for US income as well as you state's tax, on your entire income.

But even rereading the thread I am confused on who decides on who can be YYZ based or not? Are you not there because you're flying cargo?
