Re: Salary???
The job I'm trying for pays between $25 - $30 per hour,I was working off the lowest scale to see if it really enough to live on,I'll be aiming for $30 at the interview and hopefully get a little extra for having a truck drivers licence.There's also a productivity bonus scheme but thats not guaranteed every month,and some overtime that pays time+1/2 but not sure how much.
If I aim for $30 per hr ($1200 Week,$4800 month)Will this give me a better chance of a comfortable life???? :) :) (Remember $4800 per month will be to support x2 for the first few months) |

I've lived in Canada all my life and am now 60 . I can say with out any exaggeration that of ALL the people I know, dozens of couples, only ONE woman does not work outside their home, and she is a quadriplegic, in a wheel chair. If a couple has a very young child, under 2 or 3 years of age, perhaps the mother may stay home until the child goes to school, but after age 5 , why would she stay home ? That bit about "expectations' of Canadian society made me laugh out loud. Our expectations are to make as much money as possible and retire at age 50 like I did. Double incomes are the norm in Canada. Jim Bunting. Toronto. |

There is a chance that the HRDC labour market website has mechanics jobs and the rates historically offered on it. Jim Bunting. Toronto. |

Double incomes are the norm in Canada. Jim Bunting. Toronto. I scan the room and I see half a dozen men working, I know they each have a wife at home baking and sewing, I have two. The tax system and the yesteryear attitudes of Canadian society make it less advantageous to have a second income than is the case in most countries and besides, there's a whole infra structure of spas and tennis clubs to be supported. |

Jim Bunting. Toronto. Why not pull your head in and respect others peoples opinions and experiences. If you have lived here your whole 60 years you have NO experience of relocating to canada so dont have personal experience of what immigrants can expect as an hourly rate. As far expectations within Canada there is a population of 30 million, are you seriously trying to tell us you know them all personally and what they want out of life? :mad: |
