Does the Canadian Job Market pay lower salaries to Finance Professionals than the UK ?

Everyone keeps saying that in Canada the pay is very low compared to the UK ? is that true ? because if so then I can take canada off my radar for future immigration.

I pay over 15K in Taxes here in the UK, and its now high time to consider other viable options.

What about British qualifications and work experience ? are they recognised in Canada ?

Is it a likelyhood if relocation, that I would have to consider a junior role in the industry that I work in ?

my profession is that of a Senior Financial Analyst.

If you want to pick up where you left off in the UK, I'd forget about coming to Canada.

On the same income you would pay about the same tax in Canada. A low salary would help you avoid that.

As would volunteer work or large charitable donations.

Is that a large amount in the UK?

I can't honestly remember what I paid when I was there.

I'm going to guess that it's around 50k GBP. So $90k would be close, decent, but not enough to live a super rich lifestyle or anything.

Oh OK, I thought s/he was bragging - guess not

What is the industry that you work in, or is analysing finance seniorly an industry in itself?

I must say, for a financial professional, you've worded your query very strangely.

Bragging about salaries on the internet is pointless. Internet $$ are even more printable than real ones. Look I earn $100,000,000 p.a.

Phwoar! You must pay a whack of tax. p.a. = per assassination?

per annoyance

$100,000.000 internet dollars p.a. is nothing. My p.a. earns more than that per diem. And she doesn't pay any tax on it per se. As a result, there's too much money to fit in her pur se.

Investment Management is the sector I work in.

sorry bud not bragging about high Salaries. Just pay a very high rate of tax: 15K, not to mention the tax on the bonuses want to evaluate if I can channelise my work ethic elsewhere in a different economy and have higher net savings.

Anyone can pickup a high salary from the job market if there professional in there trade with good years of exp, but when you get hit by higher tax bands, then the truth hurts.

However if you are an analyst, could you not have analysed the salary scales and tax bands yourself? Perhaps through international contacts in the investment market.
