Hello sir, nice informative vdo Can u plz say, is income tax 30% of whatever salary u get??? For example if 100rs salary then 30rs tax? Is tat how it is??
@@brutallyhonest007 Hi… it will be around 25% plus you will have some PF and insurance deductions. So for quick calculations, keep 30% as deduction. So yes, if 100rs is your salary, you will get 70rs in your account.
We moved here in Apr, my daughter is 5yr, I am extremely worried how she will manage her first canadian winter... You are correct, this Transition period season change is very tricky..
Yep, same mild fever and cold. Anyway, see if you can consider buying a cheap car for time being. That will help a lot for sure. Just a suggestion, rest you are almost a Canadian now 😜
Besides childcare benefits, I heard about rental benfits from the govt. Can you say something on that please? Also, do children get free education here?
Hi.. While there is a Canada Housing Benefit, I believe it might not be active anymore. However, when calculating your eligible Child Care Benefit amount, the total rent you've paid for your primary residence is considered as a deduction in the net income calculations. I'm currently working on a new video with detailed CCB calculations and will keep you posted. Regarding free education for children, yes, it is free for all. Check out this video about school education: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zUAFzsoQI6Y.htmlsi=jNSsYOlVUWQ30cd9
@@Chashuvlogs I guess there are s9me about rental funding from govt as of today. I heard some from a guy who just went with PNP in swaskachen province. Just around 2 months and on he went there. He gets such funds.
I am here in canada on work permit, my daughter came along with me as depended. Later, after 5month my husband also joined here on work permit. Am I eligible for CCB from my 19th month of staying? Do I need to apply as family or only I have to show my income proof as she is my dependent.
Hi, Yes, you are eligible for CCB after 18 months. In the following calendar year, you and your husband (if he has started earning) will need to file your income tax by the end of April. When you do, the CCB amount will be automatically calculated, and you'll have the option to apply. It's best to disclose both incomes, as the benefit amount is based on your family's net income.
Hi, The airline will collect your stroller just before you board the flight and store it in their luggage section. You will have your stroller right up to the flight entrance door (not just the boarding gate), and they’ll return it to you at the flight door as soon as you deboard. So, the dimensions of the stroller don’t matter since it won't be going in the overhead bin or the cabin. Hope this helps! Ask me if you have any questions. Happy to help you :)
Hi, For a monthly salary of $3,500 in Ontario, your annual income will be $42,000. Annual federal tax = $6,300, Provincial tax = $2,100. So your net income will be $42,000 - $6,300 - $2,100 = $33,600 per annum, and $2,800 per month. Deduct around $200 for the pension plan and insurance for a conservative estimate, so you will get approximately $2,600 per month. This is an approximate calculation.
Hi! Thanks for your comment. Yes, kindergarten is part of elementary education, and it is indeed funded by the government. Most provinces offer free full-day kindergarten for children starting at age 4 or 5. To enroll your child in kindergarten, you typically need to register at your local school. You'll need to provide proof of your child's age (such as a birth certificate), proof of residency, and immunization records.
Hi. We got PR recently & will be moving to Canada with our toddler & infant in Oct! I wanted to ask about child benefit. When do we start receiving it? Some say it’ll be given after 1.5 years while some suggest to apply it once we reach canada.
Hi! Congratulations on getting your PR and your upcoming move to Canada. For the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), you can apply as soon as you arrive in Canada since you are a permanent resident. You don't have to wait until you've filed a year of income tax. Once your application is processed and approved, you'll start receiving the monthly payments. If you are a temporary resident, you need to have lived in Canada for 18 months and have a valid permit in the 19th month to be eligible. But since you are on PR, you can apply as soon as you land.
I will be moving to Ontario on a WP my office is in Toronto and I am planning to stay in Mississauga. Your videos are helping me a lot to plan properly. Thank you for that. I have a question though - is staying in Mississauga better or Burlington in terms of renting? Do we also find apartments/condo properties in Burlington and can it be considered for any other reason? What are your views on that? And lastly school for grade 2 kid. Thanks Mate!
Hi... Thank you so much for your kind words and for following my videos. I'm glad they're helping you plan your move. Regarding Burlington, it is pretty far from Toronto, taking at least one hour driving each side, even without traffic. Everything else is great with Burlington, including schools and condos, which you will find conveniently. Mississauga, being closer to Toronto, might be a better option for commuting. Both cities have their perks, but if you ask me, rent-wise, there's not much difference. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions.
Chasu ji, From past couple of months, I have been following your videos. I have some queries, regarding Canada migration. Probably, by end of Nov this year, humlog (We 2 and our 7 year old kid) Canada move karenge. This is going to be a relocation offered by my employer from India office to Canada. I was told to relocate in Ontario. Can you plz help me suggesting how to find a rented house. Also, I have no idea on the cost of living there. What should be a descent salary for a family of 3 to live in Ontario?
Hello! Thank you so much for following my videos and reaching out. I'm glad to hear you're finding them helpful. First thing, company transfer is the best thing. You come here with a job in hand is the best situation. See if they can also sponsor your spouse work permit. In Ontario, staying is Mississauga is probably the best choice. See this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x1Pt8ggXGdA.htmlsi=ywH0RIjBOxYBg6tF CAD 80,000 salary should be good for a family of 3 to live comfortably in a 1 bedroom house. Cost of Living: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L6i23276K74.htmlsi=kyw457NzBgAWtP-h Lastly, you can search for rent house via agents, they won't charge you any money and they will show you properties of your interest. You will many agents once you come here. I hope this information is useful. November will be cold in Canada, so come prepared with sufficient jackets.
@@Chashuvlogs Work permit is company sponsored relocation. We will be living in Ontario. What's the descent salary for 3 of us live decently in an Indian community area?
Hi.. Sorry for the late reply. A salary of CA $80,000 per year should be a good salary to have a comfortable life for a family of 3. Please don't expect to save anything much.
Hi… This place is called Brontë Beach. You have many such beaches along Oakville. From Mississauga, you can take bus (there is a Go bus to Bronte) and from there you can take a local bus. It will take at least one hour by bus.
Hi.. Thank you very much for your comment. There are many companies offering medical insurances, TD is one of the better as per feedback I have received. If you (or your spouse is employed, best to go with Employer provided insurance).
Congratulations to you and your dear family. You guys have come a long way. Chashu looks like a Canadian baby already 🥰 Oh my gosh, you really spoke my heart out. Each and every words shared here that we are going through as a family. The journey of life in Canada. 🇨🇦 Hopes high for an awesome future.🎉
Hi, Thank you very much for your kind words. I will be making more videos going forward. Please ask if you have any questions or topics you want to know. I will try to address them in the next video.
Hi.. Thank you for your comment. April will still be cold with temperatures going down to -1 or -2. Max will be around 15 -18 deg, best case. Assuming you will be coming for the first time, I highly recommend you to bring Winter clothes (including gloves & caps). However, during flight journey, you don't need anything special. Just your regular clothing is sufficient. Wear something comfortable because you will be sitting in flight for really long hours. You only need jackets when you are coming out of Canada's airport. Happy Journey :)
Very good, if you could show the price tags more it would be helpful.. can you make a video on what necessary things to pack while coming first time with kid
Hi, Thank you very much for your comment. I agree with you that price tags are little blurry because of camera movement. But here some approx. prices that will help you understand more: Ashirwad Atta 10KG: $22 Rice 10KG: $35 Dal 5KG: $15 Masalas: $2.50 for any packet Any snacks: $3 per pack Veggies: $4 per KG average Regarding what to pack while coming first time, I will try to make another video. But we have talked about it in one of our old video. Please watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s6LF7yR1ot8.htmlsi=omCXKlz6aC0nMxSt PS: It could be little lengthy, please excuse us!
Hello. I got my PR recently and planning to move to canada in june/july with family including 2kids. Can you please let us know how to find a apartment/condo before landing?
Hi.. Thank you very much for your comment. Here are some popular websites to find such condos: rentals.ca/ www.realtor.ca/ But you have catch hold of some realtor who will have access to the complete database. Even when you place a request on these sites, chances are low that you will hear back. Hope this helps.
Hi… Thank you for your comment. I will make a video showing you around Mississauga. Meanwhile, please watch these videos : 1 bedroom apartment, on the border of Oakville - Mississauga ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M1BinXR1yuE.htmlsi=Gm3aOL0I0-VZ87N1 Basement in Mississauga: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VmV9whK5xUY.htmlsi=qp6Qy4FuWc5r0UZH This is actually what you are asking for.
Hi... You will get almost all Android Brands such as Samsung, Google, OnePlus, Moto etc. Typically for a CA$300, you will get decent phone with good configurations. :)
I am expecting more informative videos like this from your channel, sir. Also, please keep the name CANADA in your channel name sir. It will be helpful from SEO perspective.
Thank you very much for your support. I am also thinking about the name. and You are right about Canada being channel name. But I am not sure if I have to change it or not... I will give more thought about it.
Hii sir I have offer letter of Yorkville University Toronto Ontario, july intake. Sir would you suggest me going there. And what is my visa success rate
Though my knowledge about the university is limited, I recommend accepting the admission because: - You get to live in Toronto where opportunities are endless😎 - You get to land in Canada which is the starting struggle for many students across the world - You can always make your future the way you want - the University has good image among the people Regarding visa, it is very difficult to say. Especially nowadays Canada is restricting student intakes by more than 60%😰😰😰. But I really hope you do get the visa and travel soon. 🙏🙏
Hi… Thank you for your comment. The wait time varies a lot, from one week to 2-3 years. The enrolment purely depends on the vacancies created. I suggest, along with applying for daycare, you schedule a visit. By physically visiting, you will get enrolment quicker. Also, look out for newly launched daycares. They will have vacancies easily.
We are moving to canada on ICT WP, My husband's office location is Brampton and my office location is Oakville. Can you suggest where we should take our accommodation...
Hi… Thank you for your comment. Mississauga will be the centre for both of you. Scenario 1: you stay in Mississauga and both of you travel equal distance on daily basis for your work. Scenario 2: you stay in Oakville, your husband can travel to Brampton which takes roughly 1-1.5 hours by bus (30 mins by car). There is good bus connectivity. Both places are good to stay, I personally prefer Oakville just because I stayed there. Hope this helps.
If work is in Mississauga and I need 1Bed 1 Bath apartment and not a basement then what would be the rental in Mississauga and Oakville? I personally like quiet and peaceful areas.
@@IshanMahajan 1bhk basement minimum 2200 and other 1bhk rental unit would cost minimum 2400.. utility extra. I have recently taken 1bhk apartment at Mississauga cooksville area
Hey, this is another informative video. We were researching on cars in Canada. Because being with an infant you know the need of the car. Also, my husband is so done with the public transport there. I’ll reach out to you if I require more information. Thank you so much for taking out time in preparing the videos, from your busy schedule. 😊
Hello, Thank you for sharing, hope you and your dear family are doing well. I would like to know how to find an apartment in Canada. Like which all website did you react on too?
Hi... We are doing good. How are you all and How's Canada? Regarding Apartment hunt, there are websites like this one: rentals.ca/. But, when you reach out to people via such websites, you will realize they are basically realtors. So my suggestion is (1) first find a realtor. He/she will help you find a home by sending you listings, book visits etc. The realtor will have all the database. Finding a realtor is easy, just put one post on facebook group, you will get lot of messages. Or contact people on rentals.ca and you will find a realtor. (2) Visit apartments and note down the contact number of their offices. Call them during work hours and they will book your visiting. Apartments are managed by their office and hence only the office will help you best. Even google for apartments near you, you will find their numbers.
@Chashuvlogs We are doing well, it’s been 3 months now awaiting for my SOWP visa approval 😵💫 Meanwhile we are looking for house. I am in India and my husband is in Canada, mostly by Jan 2024 we should be in Canada. Sure, as suggested by you, we will look for the place to stay in this way.
@Chashuvlogs Also, if possible if you have your friends in education field then please share insights on ECE - Early Childhood care jobs how does it function there.
Hi.. Basements will definitely have a stove and a refrigerator. Because owners most likely live upstairs, washer and drier will be available common for all of you. But dish washer is doubtful. One thing to note, basements are usually colder. You must have your own heaters which you can purchase for like $80.
