[@ll__LOVE__ll]

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!

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.

If you want to improve your public speaking skills, we highly recommend Toastmasters. If you want to build better relationships with friends and colleagues, start with improving your small talk skills - we made a video about it and a few more videos soon to come! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4KuYXqZnJyAprM It also goes a long way to listen and observe more, this helps you gain valuable information about the people around you, so that you can be more attentive to their work style, their needs and goals.

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

[@MakeThatChange]

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.

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.

[@llIIllIlIIllX_XIillIIllIIllIll]

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]

Check your math pls . 15hr is not 1600$ a month.

[@llIIllIlIIllX_XIillIIllIIllIll]

@@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.

[@MakeThatChange]

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
