salford:Well the Canadian economy is 70% dependent on the US and the current occupant of the white house is not a very logical fellow so Trudeau is trying to balance public heath and the economy. I don't blame him. 10 Likes |

MumofTwins2017:Yes. If you haven't landed, I don't think you can do so until the ban is lifted. |

It took the Prime Minister's wife getting infected for the government to close the borders. Hmmm Not a whimper from the 'world is a global village' crowd. When crap hits the fan you start looking out for your own Now Justin has skin in the game. 1 Like |

Any mention of how long the borders would be closed? I've been looking for it. |

Bawss1: Not to hold brief for Justin Trudeau (heck I'm not even a fan of the guy) but what would you rather have him do? Most of his decision thus far have been based on solid scientific evidences and as the science changes from day-to-day, so are his decisions. On this particular issue, I think he has responded in a calm, measured, and reasonable manner you would expect from a leader. I know it's easy at times like this to blame globalization (rightly or not) for all societal ills. But on the flip side, within few months of the outbreak we have been able to map the entire genome of the COVID-19 virus, understand its mode of transmission, and just yesterday the first vaccine trial took place. What do you think made all that possible? International collaborations (ergo Globalization). And that's not mentioning all the numerous advantages that you have personally benefited and will continue to benefit from globalization. Not just Justin, we've all "got skin in the game". 12 Likes |

Please when offered a job in Toronto, in healthcare services what salary range should one expect/bargain, that would be enough to cover all living cost for a new immigrant (for me & spouse no children yet) 2 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by SlowlybtSurely: 6:29pm On Mar 17, 2020 |
Audrian: What role? What specialty? It can range from $15/hr as a PSW to $200/hr as a Cardiothoracic surgeon. *Edited* Average monthly living expenses for my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) in the Toronto area is somewhere between $3,000 to $4,000. You and your spouse should spend less. 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by XX01(f): 8:39pm On Mar 17, 2020 |
SlowlybtSurely: I would say between $4,000 and $6,000. Rent is about $3,000. Then there might be daycare costs, etc. For median wages, check on https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/trend-analysis/search-wages, https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/wagereport/location/geo9219 or https://www.payscale.com/research/CA/State=Ontario/Salary |

XX01: I think cost of living is very subjective. A family of 4 can spend $8,000 per month while another family of same composition will spend $3,500 in the same Toronto. One can get a 2 bed basement for $1,800. I assumed $0 child care fees since ON gives new immigrants full subsidy in the first year of landing and subsequently, if they fall below a certain income threshold. 1 Like |

XX01:I was thinking that was on the low side as well. I live in the middle of nowhere Saskatchewan and my monthly expenses for the same family size is just over $4000 or more sef with only one child in Part time daycare. I can only imagine what it would be for Toronto. Na boss people dey live for Toronto side and Vancouver. 1 Like |

salford1: You na big Oga naw. I doubt you were spending that much when you just landed and were finding your feet. With time, one starts to earn more and spend more. Mortgage, more cars etc I live in the Toronto area with my family and we don't (well, we try not to) spend up to $4,000 monthly. 3 Likes |

SlowlybtSurely:My rent was $800 a month for a basement in NE Calgary back when I landed in 2012. That was also when the economy was booming sef. A basement would still be around the same price or maybe just $50 dollars more. |
