Simple and straightforward! Ang daming vlogs about canada na super misleading and ang daming unnecessary comments. This is so helpful, and glad to see an unbiased pinoy POV living there. More power to your channel!
You've just started here in Canada so obviously marami pang new life experiences na darating sa inyo. "Mahirap" is a relative word - it all depends sa person's ability whether financially and physically, your life style back home (PH), etc.... It's not good to compare PH and Canada, it's not an apple-to-apple comparison, but ofcourse you cannot avoid it. No place is perfect and there's always a trade-off. In Singapore, I was paying just around 5% income tax and earning much more than my starting salary here in Canada (back in 2010). So it was a bit of a struggle in the beginning. So kung iisipin lang and job position at sweldo at tax rate it was a significant downgrade, pero there was a bigger objective for the family. Overtime things got better. If you have the right education and previous work experience maganda ang laban mo sa Canada. Good luck!
Mas masarap dito sa US (Florida) hindi malamig. Ok na Ok ang mga benefits. May Medicare at military Tricare. Tatlo ang pensyon (military, Federal and SSS). Kya mas maganda dito sa US. Nka short lang dito di tulad sa Canada sobra ang lamig at ang winter are maigsi 3 months lang tapos malamig na agad!!
Ang hirap or ginhawa ng buhay sa Canada ay depende sa lifestyle, number of family members against sa kita mo. Kahit pa sabihin mong $5000.00/mo ang kita mo halimbawa kung ang laki naman ng bayad mo sa bahay, may kotse kang binabayaran, mga monthly bills aside pa sa grocery shopping, mga daily expenses gaya ng gasolina, pamasahe sa bus or train at syempre kelangan mo din bigyan sarili mo ng reward gaya ng kain sa labas or pasyal. Halos wala ng natira sa sahod mo. May mga iba kasing pinoy na kada sweldo, isang luxury item agad ang binibili pero wala namang laman ang bulsa pagkatapos. Take the opportunity na nasa abroad, at di lang yan ang magiging trabaho nyo, meron pang mas magandang naghihintay. Nasa US ako, per nakavisit na ako sa Canada a few times. Nakita ko ang difference ng buhay ng mga manual labor or blue collar jobs compared sa mga professionals talaga. Magkaiba nag lifestyle, magkaiba ang setting ng bahay pati expenses iba. Make sure to save at least 25% of you income each paycheck, pero kung kaya ng mas malaki, mas ok. Life in Canada, US and some other countries is far better and more convenient compared sa Pinas.
yung concept nila ng yaman ay yung nakikita nila na maayos na bahay, maayos na sasakyan, may nakakain at may trabaho. pero kung iisipin hindi dapat ito dapat ang basihan. lahat ng sinabi ko ay pang normal na buhay yun. kapag kasi inisip nila na mayaman ka na, kadalasan alam mo na ang kasunod,.
18 yrs na ako dito sa Montreal Canada. My children finished their studies here. Yong hirap napapagdaanan nino man. Sa awa ng Dios bago nagkaroon ng Pandemic at iba pang naging concerns ng pamumuhay dito sa Canada nakaka survive nmn kami. Depende sa kong gaano ka na katagal at well established, financially stable dito sa Canada. Marunong ka lng mag manage ng pera at mag invest d ka maghihirap kaya mong labanan ang hirap kahit papano. Don’t work for money for the rest of your life let your money work for you para maenjoy mo ang buhay na hindi mo naranasan sa Pilipinas
Hi Michael! Good to know that your family is there now. Kayang kaya yan, sa una lang mahirap, dumaan din kami dyan. Where God leads, He provides. Praying for you and your family!
mas ramdam ngaun ang hirap d2 sa canada kesa noong panahon ng pagdating nmin. Ngaun ko lng nakita at dami ng homeless.... ang mahal ng bilihin at lalo n ang bahay. Kung kumikita n kyo sa pinas or sa ibng bansa as ofw ng at least 3k usd, hindi n advisable pumunta d2. Sa halgang 3kusd (equiv to~ 4k cd$)...kelngn sahod mo d2 sa canada ay nsa 30/hr. At sa kitang yan, tama lng kumain k kung ikaw ay nsa toronto o vancouver. Note: sa kitang yan, mag rent k lng ng sa mga lugar n nabangit ko.
We came to Toronto in 2001 as PR. I got my first job after 1.5 months upon arrival, kaya yong dala namin na pera (show money) halos intact pa … so, financially we were good. But what i appreciated the most was the fact that i had more time with my kids (i don’t have to leave the house early, and nakakauwi ako ng maaga dahil walang traffic). Another thing that i loved was, free education. Papasok ang 2 kids ko (11 & 7 then) ang dala nila ay backpack na empty. Paguwi may laman na na school supplies. These were just one of the many things that i loved here. No regrets. Tyaga tyaga lang kayo. Upgrade your educ, look for a food job (gov jobs are great), sipag, ipon, and life in Canada will pay off.
Am planning po na magtry kasama ang 2kids ko. 5months now yung bunso and 4yrs and hLf yung isa. Soo if ever po free education. Na yung 4yrs and Half ko n anak?..
@@ginalietitan1657 4 yrs old is Jr Kindergarten. Free yan, until HS. Free din ang school bus. Hatid-sundo sila … from designated bus stop to school, then back after school.
I’ m so happy dito sa Canada at 15 years na Kami dito nakapag invest pa ,depende yan kung anong life style mo,ang anak ko tinuruan ko na kung Hindi kailangan,hwag bibilhin at Hindi rin ako bumili ng car nagtiis akong mag bus . Sipag at Tyaga lang yan ,kung mayaman na sa Pilipinas hwag ng pumunta dito Kasi maninibago talaga .
Living in Canada may be hard when you’re a newcomer but just keep persevering! We went through that too but things eventually got better. Just strive hard and keep the faith!
Yeah sa simula lang yan. It will get better. Almost 30 yrs na kami dito sa GTA. Just take it day by day Although I agree mas mahal na talaga ngayon. Siguro if possible mag move sa house or apartment na malapit sa public transportation para Hindi na kailangan mag car. Maka save ka nang $1,000 per month. Mag grab na lang or bus. Since nag work ako from home at naka park lang car ko for 3 years. I gave up my car at laking tipid.

Hello michael. Sa tingin ko mali ang focus nyong magasawa sa ngayon kasi dapat magconcentrate kayo more on how to become pr dito sa ontario than sa work o kita nyo dito. Kasi yung pagiging pr dito ang magdedetermine your future here. As of now, applications for pr sa ontario eh over the max na kaya napakahirap ng maging pr dito sa ontario. Imagine, maski mga bumbay na international students na katakot takot dito eh nagmomove sa ibang provinces dahil mas may chance silang maging pr dun like newfoundland, new brunswick, nova scotia, pei etc. Siguro yan ang dapat nyong pagisipan kasi hindi kayo pwedeng magstay dito forever with no status. Sayang naman yung hirap nyo kung madeport kayo in the future. Maybe for now, it's better for you to move in other province and then come back here once you get your pr status. Dito lang kami sa brampton since 1998 pa. Naghirap din kami noong unang dating namin sa toronto. Pero looking back, we don't have any regret in moving here in canada. Here we found the true meaning of what life is which i'm sure we didn't have a chance in our miserable and corrupt country. May our Good Lord guide you in all your plans and decisions.
May PR plans naman po kami. Pero we also need to be mindful sa finances namin dahil yun din po makakapagsabi kung kaya ba namin ma-sustain yung cost of living dito sa Ontario/Canada. We cannot continue our journey kung mauubos na po yung savings namin.
@@michaelrsk suggest ko sanyo lipat ng ibng provincelike Alberta where cost of living is way lower than ontario. Sa ontario ( gta area ) kelngn 6 figures income mo to afford a decent house.
same dito sir sa sydney australia nung student ako sobra hirap at magisa ako, keep the faith lang sir sa goal awa nang diyos after 1 year na PR ako dito ngayon sobrang gaan naman kasi makaka apply kna nang maayos medyo maigi narin ang work ko now sumosobra na konti
You mentioned that February was the most expensive month for you and your family. You can celebrate naman kahit hindi kumakain sa labas or merong mga birthdays. Tipid tipid lang talaga sa unang 3 taon. Kahit kami man ng aking pamilya nagsimula sa mga challenges pero nagsumikap kami ng aking asawa na pagbutihin ang aming trabaho at talagang super nag tipid. We focused on our family’s needs and not on our wants. Hindi din ako tumigil mag aral para makakuha ng magandang trabaho na kayang tapatan ang salary ng two jobs. Sa biyaya ng Dios nalagpasan din namin ang mga paghihirap after 3 years.
Watching here in Ontario,mahirap po talaga Buhay sa Canada pag Hindi ka pa financially stable at settled at kung mababa ang sahod dahil sa inflation pataas ng pataas ang mga bilihin at rent ,pag family dapat talaga dalawa ang nagtratrabaho kasi maraming expenses at Bayarin,now kung settled at establish ka na dito na may good career at high paying job,you will be okey .There’s always pros and cons .Canada is a better place to lived once you pass all the struggles in the beginning and once you already established a good life here. You will enjoy it more.
First time to stumble upon your vlog. Hope things work out well with you and your family. I can relate with what you are saying as i myself is in the same boat.
pag sinabi kasing mahal dipende yan sa sahod pag maliit ang sahod mahal ang tingin sa presyo pero pag malaki ang sahod normal lang yung presyo. marami kasi na mga pinoy na nasa Canada hinde nag a upgrade sa education kahit sa mga short term course.
Hi Kabayan! Wala pong madali kahit nasan po tayo.Ang mahalaga po is masipag tayo at marunong po tayo mag budget. We came here in Canada as IS din in 2019, got our PR at 2021 and bought a house in 2023. Limited ang dala namin pera, got our job after a week, wag lang picky marami trabaho sa Canada. Minimum wage po na naabutan namin noon is $14.50 Marami nagsasabi akala nila mayaman na tayo sa Canada, but that's not the exact words. Nagsipag tayo, nag plano at nag sumikap. And with benefits na meron sa Canada, need po naten magpasalamat dahil wala po ganitong benefit sa pilipinas. Lahat po mahal dito pero dapat po marunong tayo magbudget, keep it up! laban lang!❤ Good luck po on your Journey and to your youtube channel!
Buying the very expensive SUV that you really LIKE (as you said), as opposed to what you only need, was a huge error in judgement. You could have bought a older car for less money (that you don’t have) say a 2017 RAV 4 and that would have saved you a lot. The 40k you spent in buying car will be gone in a few years.
Darating din yung time na yun. I came here 8 yrs ago as a Nanny. I went back to school and now kakagraduate ko lng last Dec as a Nurse. It took 8 yrs for me na makuha yung talagang sweldo na sana lng sakin noon. I started pala $12 lng hehe
challenging tlga pero it is all worth it. we push thru on the student pathway and in less than 2yrs na-pr kami via PNP program here in Vancouver. basta skilled and highly needed ung skill set mo sa province kung nasan ka eh madali kang ma-pr at maka-kuha ng magandang work. Good luck sa inyo mga paps!
Canada or USA ang bottom line is kung mayron kang career field from a college degree and gaining experience halimbawa computer professionals, doctors, nurses, engineers ay masarap ang buhay mo kung di kalang waldas gumastos. Kayang kaya ng sweldo mo lahat ng basics pati pag hire ng cleaning agency at least once a week. Pero sa atin kahit professional tayo sa Pilipinas pero wala tayong field sa USA or Canada kahit na maging supervisor pa tayo sa department store or technician sa factory eh talagang mahirap maka cope up sa standard of living kahit mag over time kapa at double job every month sweldo mo ibabayad mo rin sa mga bills. Ang maganda lang dahil karamihan sa atin may mga forced savings via employer contribution gaya ng mga 401 K at sa sarili mo kung mag invest ka kahit $100 a month sa stocks at saka may social security pagtanda mo. Other than that from financial perspective mas ayos pa sa Pilipinas kahit every month pwede ka mag pa letson.
I believe na kau pong mag asawa ay may better future in Canada based lng s personality and attitude and skills ninu even dko alam but it shows. So go lng po , mhrap tlga s umpisa but for sure may mararating kau .
You are doing good. High pay, higher income taxes to pay per bracket. If you own a house (mortgage), you need to pay the principal & interest. Every 5 years the interest changes and so the inflation. 30 years you have to pay. If you lost your job big problem as well. Not including the property taxes. Utilities (Heating & Cooling, Electricity). Internet/cellphone. Maintenance. If you had Car Loan, plus insurance & maintenance hindi talaga kakayanin ng isang minimum wage lang. Maybe if both of you works as a Nurses, they earn NET $10,000 per month. Pero hirap daw Stressful 😢
I disagree po sa mga nagsasabi na “marami jobs wag lang mamimili”. Of course you have to be selective sa jobs. Mag apply ka sa jobs based on your skillset,experience and education. Your goal is to land an interview. Rarely, employers will call you if your education and experience are not aligned sa job description. I work in HR. We use a software to screen resumes. Theres an algorithm that will pick keywords on your resume that will push it to the next step which is to pass it on to hiring manager who will decide if he or she calls you for interview, otherwise rejected ang resumes. Im also an immigrant here in US mahirap talaga mag start. I suggest upgrade your skills, get education shift career if you have to sa mga in demand jobs. Good luck
ang tinutukoy nila ay yung mga trabahong hindi naman mahigpit sa requirements at qualifications kaya kahit hindi mo field yun, pasok ka pa rin, at saka for the time being lang naman kapag hindi pa natatanggap sa ideal job. Importante rin na maging realistic kung fully qualified ka talaga.
In fairness, you guys have the right attitude to succeed in Canada . Basta ba may side hustle kayo like investing in real state stocks, maximizing RRSP ,RESP, TSFA and crypto, then may passive income na tayo. Di lang umaasa sa regular pay check natin. Heck, more than 3x above sa minimum wage nga yung per hour ko - Pag doon lang ako umaasa , Hirap pa rin .
Always be positive and manifest. Lahat ng immigrant sa first 2 years dumadaan sa konting depression. Better opportunity sa mga anak especially education, safety, medical security and retirement. It will all be worth it. Prayers and lakasan lang ng loob.
Agree ako dyan sa sinasabi mo,kc dito rin ako sa australia at sobrang mahal din dito at gaya ng sabi mo kung hindi ka mapili nga sa work ay makakakuha ng work but ang problema nga ay yung work na hindi mo linya ay sobrang nakakalungkot talaga.
My opinion and based on my 75 days vacation sa anak ko sa Toronto ay masasabi kong OO ,mahirap!Lalo na kung wala ka pang bahay at uupa ka lang. Magiging pay check to pay check talaga ang mangyayari. Ang anak ko kasi gusto nya sa Canada for global education and kung tutuusin mura na ang Canada compared sa aral sa UK, US at Australia. Pero sa amin a 50 yrs old parang di ko na gustong mag Canada. Masaya na kami dito sa Thailand . May husband is having the same rate or more than pa nga ng kinikita ng iba dyan sa Canada at managerial position pa. Para lang sa mga anak namin kaya ang mga anak ko nag aral ng Canada. Sila ang may gusto kaya support lang kami.Actually magdadalawa na ang IS namin next year sa Seneca.Mahal din mga RTW dyan. Yun anak ko dito ko pa pinamimili ng RTW sa Thailand tas pinapadala ko sa Toronto. Mahirap para sa amin na may edad na lalo na kapag winter at di ko gusto yun mga food dyan particularly ang pork… may amoy! At ang mga fruits o gulay di kasing fresh ng tulad dito sa Thailand. Fast paced life dyan at sa katulad namin na matanda na sa totoo lang nakaka stress.Opinion ko lang naman ito base sa pagtira ko dyan ng few months.
Kaya tlaga inaim ko mgkabahay para indi nasasayang ung pinabayad for rent,sa mga ngsasabi madami pinaayos at magastos may bahay mali kayo dyan bumili kyo ng bahay ipainspect nio ng maayos at isa pa walang land property na ndedepriciate so in the future you can sell the house.
@@michaelrskstruggles muna po sa umpisa.. tiis tiis lang po muna. Then hopefully makahanap kayo ng magandang work or if not sa business industry in the future. 😊
Iall i can say is JUST BUY WHAT U NEED NOT WHAT U WANT FOR NOW N U WILL BE RICHER THAN U THINK..YOU GONNA BE OKAY YET U R STILL YOUNG COUPLE SO STRIVE HARDER N U GAIN MORE . .IF POSSIBLE PLS SAVE EVEN A LITTLE EVERY PAYCHEQUE AND YOUWILL BE SURPRISE ONE DAY ..PROMISE......!❤❤❤
Natural lang na mahihirapan kayo in the first 3 to 4 years, or maybe 5 years. PERO bubuti din lahat. In the future, you will find the right job for you. You’ll be surprise one of the future days, you will find it. This lang at PASENSIYA.
Dapat sir, mag downgrade muna kayo ng nirerentahan ng bahay, kahit mas maliit Lang pra mas Mura ang renta. Tumira din ako sa Sydney Australia before ng Ilan taon pero balik Pinas na ko. Sa IT work ko mabuti nakahanap ako ng maayos na sweldo Ngayon sa Pinas.
pag ganyan na break even lang mahirap maka ipon at sobrang pagtitipid talaga sacrifice na hinde kumakain sa labas dahil sa mahal ng food talaga ngayon sa labas
Bakit ba ang pinag usapan eh yun kinikita sa abroad tulad sa Canada, US or Europe. Comparison ng mga kita (Phils v Abroad). Yun quality of life ang mahalaga, education at upbringing sa mga anak, healthcare and sacrifices.
Marami na ko nakausap na mga Kababayan dito sa Canada... it's really tough in the beginning, however in long-term journey here it's definitely worth it!
Hi Michael, it’s good that you guys have a work. I have been here in Mississauga for 24 years and I feel it’s completely different back then. Always stay positive and life will be better.
Kung based on experience nyong magasawa, siguro mas maganda kung compare mo lifestyle nyo sa phillipines at sa canada for better understanding... compare with actual numbers ang house to house, salary to salary, expenses to expenses, and how long it took you to live that lifesytle in both countries... Good job sa video and good luck sa Canada!
Just pursue to save and avoid debt...live according to your means...okay lang na medyo mahirap basta sama-sama kayong family. Eventually maka-adjust din at maging stable din kayo. God will provide as you trust Him. God Bless.
Yung Lifestyles ang nagpapahirap sa mga Pinoy sa Canada, Pinas Masaya at may kamurahan ang mga bilihin, sa Pinas, iba,sa Canada,ang Lifestyles dito iba,.Kung iisipin mo break even lang,
Earning 100 grand per month in the philippines you are considered upper middle class. Earing 2500$ canadian you are paycheck to paycheck. 100 grand peso has more buying power than 2500$ canadian
Siguro nga mahirap mag student visa. Australia is also hard place to live if your on student visa. Pero mahirap talaga this time kasi recession mahal lahat pero ang sweldo Hindi tumataas. Kayod kalabaw para sa ekonomiya talaga. 😅😅
Ok naman d2 sa Canada maraming way d2 basta marunong kalang mabuhay ka d2 yes it’s expensive talaga kahit saan man nagmamahalan na din so dapat tamang plan pag d2 kayo
Mahirap lang sa umpisa but what you guys are doing will greatly benefit your kids. When I first came to the US didnt had a job for 6 mos then I got hired as a caregiver. It wasnt what I expected or did before in the Philippines but I needed local experience. After I established my local experience it was easier (still difficult but easier). Give yourself time and if you guys have a plan stick to it but of course be flexible when needed. You guys got this!
anung magbabago pag naPR na? diba same padin tax? same padin poor healtcare?> same padin ang snow mahirap padin maglakad? same padin ang lahat ng negative sa canada even after 5-10yrs, ang magbabago lang, mas mamamanhid kana sa hirap and youl get used to it. kung nasa Pinas edi wala sana ganyan, kung mahirap din sa Canada at mahirap sa pinas, edi magpinas nalang same mahirap diba, wala kapa sinacrifice na education mo, gumasta ng milyon, iniwan ang pamilya, iniwan ang trabaho,
@@hdclip5845Their struggles are different than yours, mine or any one. Whatever their reason for choosing to migrate is theirs to own. Remember we all have different battles to fight and to be honest kids who grew up in North America have better opportunities for their future. Plus, tama ka, kailangan masanay ka sa pamumuhay dito, kapalan ng konti ang balat at tibayan ng loob. @michaelrsk you aint the only one who went through this bro. Keep your eyes (and your wife’s) on the prize.
Canada has more to offer than Philippines. Health care is not perfect but compare to Philippines? I got Cancer few years ago ….. didn’t work for one year with pay. Hospital social workers also offers other services tulad ng free ride (transportation after radiation treatment), meals on wheels, counseling- Canada has summer,autumn/fall,spring, winter season- each season is BEAUTIFUL!!! Our kids will appreciate it more than adults. My kids loved skiing in winter, dip in very warm jet spa,ice skating,ice fishing. Winter is nice for a change, not bad just need strategy and proper outfit. My kids started working at 15years old…..after 2 years they are working,studying,driving and saving/travel. Life is good!!!! Now the goal is buying a property of their own. Sa inflation naman usually ang sahod tumataas din “tumaas na ang sahod namin”. Ang pensions tumataas din CPP,Old Age + company pension sa mga retired. The children/your children will benefit enormously from your hard work,sacrifice and teamwork. Best wishes to you and your family!
thats completely one sided and definitely not true about canada has more to offer, thats actually the opposite. Philippine has more to offer, how so? Philippine has so many alternative compare to Canada. Ph have public market where you can buy cheaper food bc its tax free, where you can buy cheaper items like clothes/kitchenware and they are all cheap tax free, in Canada kahit brandless ang mahal wala kang ibang choice, kundi buy expensive brandless clothes or thirft store, yan ba ang madaming maooffer? Ph have cheaper car insurance, 1k pesos meron kana insurance, if you have money then you can buy comprehensive. Ang canada ba meron nyan? wala, people are obliged to buy comprehensive, so kahit hirap ka at kapos sa pera, kelangan mo kayanin para mabigyan mo ng magandang transportation ang family lalo pag winter. Ph have tax leeways. Business can get away from doing tax, how so? ang dali nyan at business have been doing that for decades, dont report all your income, its wrong, but points here, its a thing in PH but cannot do in Canada. Pinaka importante, Philippines have private hospitals, sa Canada, nothing nganga ka, kahit my pera ka sa Canada and you can pay better health service, no, magwait ka or punta ka sa US tawid bansa to get better alternative. If you dont want that then wait ka Pila ka dyan. Yan ba madaming maoofer? Sa pinas need mo lang my pera, and you can access better healthcare service, if nagtitiipid ka, may free or cheaper alternatives, sa government, so Ph has more to offer than Canada. Madami pang. Ph have a lot to offer to make your life easier and happier. Ang problema lang sa ph is oppportunities to make money,, kaya kung di kaya ang competetition sa ph, better go canada and do 3jobs. I have businesses somehow I managed to be creative here sa PH so financially okay na,. Dyan kahit maging businessman ako, kakainin ako ng tax. And what make us think our kids will like Canada? we dont know, yet, baka nga maging grateful pa sila kung sa pinas naten sila dinala kasi kung hirap tayong parent I am pretty sure kung hindi mang ganung kahirap sa time nila, may hirap padin pagdadaanan sila. yung kids na working na and know how to drive and independed at earlier age sa Canada, pede din gawin ng magulang yan sa pinas, nangyayari lang kasi saten magulang inaasa naten sa iba ang dapat sa ating magulang manggaling ang gawin silang independent. Teach them how to drive at 18, teach them how to work freelance at ealier age, etc @@rowenamagno5398
We don’t celebrate all like what you mentioned. Be practical. Hwag maluho. We don’t celebrate big time like some people we know. Save, save save. Kapag meron ka na ipon parin. Live simple life kapagbago lang. hindi puro gastos gastos.
true naman mahal na talaga lalo dito sa province of ontario i live in toronto for 18 yrs nasa inflation tayo talaga everything is going to be high ang cost of living i dont know the rest of the province.
It's the high taxes that make Canada expensive IMO. Salaries in Canada are also low compared to other Western countries, particularly the US. High taxes and low salaries means low disposable income and ultimately low discretionary income.
Thank you for sharing your honest opinions. Don’t mind the negative comments, there’s nothing wrong with sharing the truth. Also, okay lang yung mga “freebies”. Kami man mahilig pa rin mag-avail, hehe… You and your wife have the right mindset. Laban lang and network with other Filipino professionals. It is possible to go back to the career and payscale that you desire. Maybe after your graduation, mas maraming opportunities na puwede mag-open.
Tama po sinasabi nya. Kung sa pilipinas madali lang kumain sa mga fastfood dito pagiisipan mo pa kung bibilhin mo dahil mahal nasa 12 dollars pataas ang isang meal. Decent meal nasa 15 dollars pataas.
Huwag kayong magko convert ng dollar to peso, dahil walang basehan yan. Dolyar ang sahod mo Pero dolyar din ang gastos mo,hindi peso. Ang taong May 100 thousand pesos Sa Pilipinas ay mas magandang Di hamak ang buhay,kaysa taong May 100 thousand pesos Sa Canada.
wala namang madali. lahat naman may struggles and problema sa life. even the most wealthy person may problema din. saan ka man. nasayo na yan paano mo iha-handle ang prblem.
Kahit saang bansa po. Sikap sinop pa din. Ang importante ano ba ang mga pryoridad. Like yung trabaho income environment safety pagpapalaki sa mga bata ba like education. Tax medical pension. Wala talagang perpekto at may mga struggles along the way. In the end. Na achieve ba yung goal? At masaya ka ba? Minsan feeling hindi. Pero nakapgbigay ka ng good future sa pamilya mo. Nakatluong ka sa pamilya mo sa Pilipinas. Kaya may self fulfillment din
I’ve lived in Toronto for 30 years. Sigurado you cannot replicate your life in Manila working minimum wage jobs even with both working. Ang masasabi ko if you are earning 100K monthly sa Pinas don’t come as an international student because of the cost and likelihood you will obtain PR. No matter what consultants tell you per Statscan 30% of students have PR within 10 years of receiving their first study permit. It means high cost with relatively low likelihood of success. Don’t think that if you get PR that automatically opens the doors to high paying jobs. Each year Canadian Universities graduate thousands of students that you will be competing with. Anyone wanting to immigrate to Canada should try the Express Entry pathway. If you don’t qualify for that it means that Canada believes the likelihood you will successfully adapt and make a positive contribution is low. I came as an independent immigrant back then the only other pathway was to invest several hundred thousand dollars in a business. The only financial requirement was to have 6 months of living expenses. Good luck on your journey
I believe in everything you mentioned. Inflation rate is real everywhere in the world naman talaga. Pero, still were in a better place, meron paring mga magagandang benefits living here sa Canada. Pero everything you said are true and I can tell you that every year is getting better depending nalang sa life style mo. 🙂
Sa panahon ngayun ibang-iba na ang Canada mahirap na ang sitwasyon, mahal na ang bilihin, nagtaasan ang renta ng bahay. Napuntahan ko kasi at naranasan. Sabi nga ng mga nakausap ko dyan, na mga nauna na (immigrants) "ikumpara sa sitwasyon noon, ang Canada sa ngayun ibang-iba na". Ika nga, sabi nila tapos na ang glory days...
Ang mga tao sa atin na hindi nakaalis ng Pilipinas at naexperience ang buhay sa ibang bansa, akala ay mayaman ka na kung naka- abroad. Hindi nila alam kung ano ang buhay natin na nasa overseas. Work na work tayo. Para makaraos sa buhay at maka bili ng bahay in the future. I think you don't need to explain to that person how much you earn and how much you spend. This is my opinion.
This is just my observation specially IS or someone who has established career in Philippines then came to Canada. They want instant gratification. The expectation to get the same position/career in Canada. Sorry to say but it’s not going to happen. Not yet. Those hiring managers/HR don’t really care your experience in Philippines. We are not born in Canada, English is not our first language, we are coloured skin, we got accent ,etc. white people get chosen to those high paying positions. The competition is tough. Think about those university graduates who are born here. Those are the ones you are competing with in the bank/ corporate world. Also have you heard nepotism ? that comes into play too. The point is we got to earn our place in Canada like go back to school and upgrade. That’s how we get the Canadian experience. And you got to give it sometime. change your mindset of you got all these experiences like as a manager or director… that will get you disappointed very quickly. you have long ways to go and there will be a lot more sacrifices. just my 2 cents.
Wag k lang mapili sa work canada mabubuhay k mahal talga bilihin jan .pero marami jan work wag lang mapili .tiis lang buti kapa.sasabi k ng totoo.God bless u.
Kung icocompare mo ung pagkain is yes mas mahal dto sa Canada pero kung ianal analyze mo mabuti mas ok pa rin dto. Example ko lng ha, ung isang bangos lets say mabibili mo dto ng $10 ang isa pero nasa minimum ka, $16 per Hour. Tas ung bangos sa pinas 150PHP isa, sumasahod ka 500per Day. Ilang mabibili mo ng bangos sa sahod mo ng 1day sa pinas at 1day mo sa Canada? Mahal dn ang bilihin sa pinas. Ung dating fried chicken na nabibili ko ng 5Php ngayon 25 na. Inflation anywhere pero mas madami pa rin opportunity sa Canada basta magsikap ka at hindi mapili sa trabaho
