Your channel serves as an invaluable resource for anyone considering immigration to Canada. It provides concise and straightforward information, delivering a wealth of knowledge without exaggeration. I genuinely appreciate the valuable insights you offer, and I'll definitely support your channel as I continue with my plans to relocate to Alberta.
Since arriving in Canada 3 month’s ago to study, I’ve fallen behind watching these videos, 😬 Studies are going well, I’ve made new friends and enjoying life here exploring new places. I have lots of doubts whether this plan will work, but I still remain optimistic and as you rightly say “planning for the worst, whilst hoping for the best” 🤞
trust me bro,the problem is if you don't have a job that pays at least 20-22-30/h , you wont even survive with current cost of living or taxes which is sum up to 40% of all ur income ( inside and outside Canada ) yes if you have any income even from outside Canada you have to pay 30% and +10% on each item you purchase.

they were right in general but in contrast, they're hiding an unavoidable ugly truth about Canada, you are better off away until they fix it, even Canadian ppl are leaving Canada, I used an online tax calculator called "talent" you can google it, *Alberta* is considered one of the most affordable provinces to live in. Income tax is 29.3% for jobs that pays 15$ , but that is not all , you would still need to pay extra 10% on everything you purchase ( 5% Canada Tax and 5% province Tax )which sum up to *39.3%* Tax.. in numbers Income Salary: 2438$( before tax) ---> 1462.8 (After Tax) Here is what you need to buy Just to survive (without saving or any entertainment) Rent: (cheapest rent 1 studio ) 1000 -1200 ( remaining 462.8$) Food: 400$ (remaining 62.8$) utilities: 200-250$ (DEBT: -137.2) WIFI: 80$ (DEBT: ~220$) Phone: 40$ (DEBT: ~260$) Transportation(to work): 500$ (without a car) (DEBT: 760$) --> Owning a car extra (500$) Winter Cloth: .... Furniture: ..... CookWare: ..... studying: ..... licensing: ..... even with the job they'd end up spending a big chunk of their life savings just to survive the harsh Canadian TAX and the Harsh WInter, the same person who is struggling now were living a much decent and much happier life in their home country with a house/apartment and probably a car. People can't live on the streets like they would do in other countries because of the harsh winter .. People are leaving for a reason, everyone is saying the Canadian dream is a scam for a reason!, even well-paying jobs don't allow ppl to save money. If those people didn't have to pay tax they might have a chance to survive, 2438$/month is manageable but 1440$/month is impossible!
Cold weather is something you need to deal with, there is no community to worry about in larger cities, Canada is pretty heterogenous and accepting of alterity, African descent is very well represented. ReSettling anywhere will be uncomfortable not only in North America.
trust me bro, it's not the cold weather is what you should worry about, the problem is if you don't have a job that pays at least 20-22-30/h , you wont even survive with current cost of living or taxes which is sum up to 40% of all ur income ( inside and outside Canada ) yes if you have any income even from outside Canada you have to pay 30% and +10% on each item you purchase.
Instead of wasting your time and money to come here, open a business. There are some better countries in Africa. Unless you’re from a war zone Canada ain’t worth it.
@@llIIllIlIIllX_XIillIIllIIllIll Ikr, these people won’t listen though, let them come and get the harsh reality that we face here. I’m planning to go back to Africa.
Hoping to improve my French on Lingoda! I can read a LOT of French bt cant write or speak. Now Inknownhow English learners feel when they can read but have no idea how to pronounce words 😂 We're waiting to be redrawn after a 100% my fault screw up on our last application. Ive got my fingers crossed for the stem draws! I hope y'all are enjoying your new home:)
Taxes feel easy for you in Chile because you are familiar with them. Once you get acquianted with how Canadian tax system works - you will be comfortable enough and no stress =)
@@MakeThatChange I’ve got a video request if you don’t mind. Can you explain what it was like going through the whole Express Entry process from your perspective?
Loved the content of this video ❤ So should people coming on PR (having a visa expiry of May 2024 hurry to come in October/November 2023 ? Looking to the fact the year is coming to a close, layoffs and experiencing extreme winters immediately upon arrival.
The best time to arrive would be October as it is almost the end of the year and projects are closing, companies are hiring based on year's results. And February as it is the beginning of the year and companies are hiring based on year's plans and expectations
The real issue is high taxation in Canada. There is no escape from it tho. Canada is a large country and high tax is required to maintain given its inadequate population. Its sad however there is no other way around. Large salaried population can only survive in this country.
Actually if you look at data from OECD, Canadian tax rate isn’t that bad, it’s in the lower 1/3. 2/3 of OECD countries have a higher tax rate than Canada.
@@MakeThatChange im comparing with US. In Canada the more money you make, your saving will b the same since you pay more in taxes. There is no much incentive. Living truth. 😊
your argument is *far off* i'm afraid, if it worked for you it doesn't mean it would work for everyone else if you look for the actual facts you will realize that there isn't any chance for 99% of all newcomers to ever have a better life than the one they once had in their home country, and the biggest reasons is taxes, if you were lucky enough to land a job you would never be able to survive due to the *MASSIVE* *tax* *on* *your* *straggling* *Income* , you will actually start spending out of your life saving just to survive if you sold a car or a house back home u would actually spend a big chunk of that money the first few months in Canada even if you had a job. ex: if I accepted a temp job of 15$/h ( 1600$/month ) just to survive or to get "Canadian exp", the tax cut is 40-60% (30% income tax) + (10% => 5% Canada tax and 5% Province tax ) ... that leaves us with 960$, even if I had two full-time jobs that pays 2000$ I wont be able to survive! , and I cant live on street like in other countries because of the harsh winter. Can you tell me how would someone earns 15$/h survive in Canada ? I bet you cant, I bet if you look at the actual numbers you would rent a studio to 2-3 people, just for them to survive. those people were living in a big apartment back in their home country now they're sharing a studio with 2 other strangers. Also, I think under those conditions at least 10% of the newcomers would lose their heads and may commit crimes against the state that lied to them and scammed them with the false " Canadian Dream ". Of course, no one wants or supports violence/crimes/madness in any way, but with the current scam that is going on it's systematically turning people into criminals or drug addicts. the tax cut needs to wind way down especially when people can't survive the harsh Canadian cost of living or the Extreme winter conditions. either that or making sure that all newcomers get opportunities to earn at least 2800CAD
@@MakeThatChange when you subtract the tax it will be. then you would need to pay for rent, car , phone bills , internet , food and others with what's left , it's literally impossible without taking a chunk out of your life saving just to clean someone's floor in a different country ... the real issue is the amount of tax the gov is taking from new commers and now everyone is talking about it , 40-60% is way to much , it should be 15-40% and not a penny more.
Your math still seems off…if you subtract all the expenses you mention and are still with 1600 - that’s a lot of money leftover each month. If you aren’t accounting for that with your math, then 15/hr is way more than 1600. Feel free to use a tax calculator to verify. You have much more than you think… you’d probably know that if you actually made this much… or you’re getting scammed by your employer
Trying to move in October or December, as you said i am preparing for the worst, trying to pack as much money as possible because it feels like it gonna take a while to find a job. i am dentist and 3d artist in game and film industry.

@@llIIllIlIIllX_XIillIIllIIllIll this is the only option i have for better life than the current one, and yes i do have online work with good salary to live and have plenty of time to plan and work on other ideas there, incase it turns bad then nothing hurts, i find some other place. now trying to make good use if the only chance i have. i see you do some 3D stuff.. you are Canadian?
@@AhmedHasan91 Nah I'm European, but I was planning to move to Canada then I completely changed my mind, I'm against what is going on in Canada right now, something is not right and it's getting obvious to everyone who is behind all this mess.
Ahmed, that's quite a diverse skillset you have! both 3d and dentistry are in demand in Canada, you will have to re-certify in order to practice dentistry in Canada, while you can get 3d jobs without any additional studies. Both pay really well, but 3d can be a competitive market.
@@MakeThatChange wow thanks for replay.. yes i agree for sure, 3D was a hoppy for so many years but after 2020 i had to make use of it because of the ability to work online, now i work for big company "MagicMedia" pays well, online, i can use that to find second job in Canada while i work my plan to create a digital dental laboratory there, this is my goal. i hope it works out fine.. and thank you very much for all what you do, really helps.. Спасибо большое, я честно очень благодарен ♥
Is it difficult to find a little above the minimum wage jobs in Canada if I studying in Canada as an international student and after the graduation? my biggest fear is I can’t find any job after I graduated even the minimum wage job and my money is keeping burning, btw I’m preparing my IELTS academic exam, I hope I can get 6.5 in all tests and studying in Canada soon, my plan is studying in Winnipeg because compared Vancouver as well as Toronto it’s more affordable
There’s plenty of minimum wage jobs where people will beg you to work with them. It’s just a matter of which jobs are you actually willing to do. Overall there’s no issues in finding “a job”. And if you work on improving these skills and others within your profession, you won’t have any trouble finding a dream job in Canada either.
maam what about atlantic provinces like nova scotia cost of living must be low in ns and how much time do it takes to get pr in canada especially in ns or yukon as a junior doctor
Hi, my name is Peter and I arrived in Canada last month. Back in my country I used to be an accountant. I want to continue with the same. Am in Toronto. Can you help me work on my CV? Thanks in advance.
