Job Offer - what package to negotiate?
I have received an offer (NOC 0111) and wondered what benefits I should try and negotiate? Salary c. CAD150k is not negotiable. We are a family of 4 (2 preschool age children).
The employer is going through the LMIA process at the moment - they are used to the process and paperwork they need to send as well as being happy to pay the fee - and hope to have a decision by the end of the month under the expedited 10 day process. On my previous thread I was told in no uncertain terms to not rely on the LMIA but the employer seems confident they will be successful but the views of others on here have made me very worried. |

It's a very niche role in a specific industry.

Benefits wise I would aim for:
1) airfare for you and family to Canada; 2) Extra baggage cost for flight (if you don't get 2 bags a piece) 3) Temp accommodation in a serviced apartment (not hotel) for 4 weeks 4) Temp medical insurance for you and family until MSP/employer health benefits kick in 5) 5% of salary mark up in lieu of pension (at least for the first year until you can start a private pension) 6) Costs of shipping for goods or payment of a relocation allowance (this amount will be income taxable so bear that in mind when negotiating value). 7) Tax advise for first filing in Canada Hope that's helps |

An extended heath package. This is insurance for prescription drugs, routine dentistry and so on. I will be surprised if i is not included at that salary level but best to check.
You will start paying for a Canadian state pension with your first pay cheque. You will be able to make contributions to a private pension next year. There are slightly different rules if the company has a mandatory defined benefit scheme, but not many do. Maybe they will offer contribution matching. |

That company's turnover dropped dramatically and the job never came off in the end. I couldn't negotiate the same deal this time... Currently on 3 weeks.... As for Private Pension, you can start those at any time as long as you were employed in Canada in the previous tax year. My employer matches contributions with a 5% limit currently. |

Re: Job Offer - what package to negotiate?
Thank you so much everyone. It's tricky to know what is acceptable and what might be being cheeky so the airfares and leave stuff is really interesting as I was worried about asking for those.
