Yes, I am under family sponsorship visa. Thanks!

No, I don't mean which category. I meant which part of Canada are you planning to go? G

Grass is greener on the other side, but you have to make a choice someday!

I would advise that you weigh the Cost Benefits over the Risks. At the end of the day, it comes down to your choice.

Hi folks,

My wait has come to an end will be moving to Canada in April.

One thing that has been constantly on my mind,

for me to build a house, i will need to take a loan.

Canada has one of the most expensive housing in the world. You need to have two people (husband and wife) both working at well above the average salary to even think about owning a home in most Canadian cities. In large cities like Vancouver or Toronto dont even dream about a house, you will be lucky to afford a condo apartment.

for me to travel, i need to take a loan.
for me to live, my monthly wages will be just enough.
for me to buy a car, once in every 10 years.
if i have a kid, i will have to think twice before spending.

All of this is identical in Canada, except maybe traveling. (depending on where you want to go. Europe is expensive, but trips to Mexico are pretty cheap)

for me to buy a pizza, my day pay is gone in that.

Our pizza is cheap. But you will likely dearly miss the food, flavours and spices of your homeland and will have difficulty finding them.

to make a saving impossible, now i can because my mom n dad are here.
am well educated, but you earn peanuts.

You will also make peanuts here. Yes the paycheck will be bigger, but so is your rent and your car payments. I think you should try7 to find some accounts your age who live in Canada and talk to them. You will NOT be considered high middle class here. You will be lucky to be low middle class.

Am taking the risk, i better try and regret it rather not to and regret it.

I know you have a good life there. You are 25 years old. You can try something different! Now is the time to try. I am sure if you stay a day will come when you wonder what it would have been like for you if you moved to Canada. My advise to you, try something and learn. If you are to make mistakes it is now.....greatness begins with change!

Hi imani007 / Mfrithy

Thanks for your support, it's been a good experience and loving it, though I miss my family but it's something I have accepted. Do you guys can tell the opportunites Ontario - Toronto offers compared to Montreal, is there more scope in Ontario?

Now waiting to face the winter, hopefully it won't trouble me too much.

Cheers

Hi RS85,

I am happy for you that you have settled down in Canada.
However can you get in touch with me please. I am from Mauritius too. Maybe I can get some advice from you.

Thanks,

There are pros and cons to every decision one makes. Canada is still a lovely country though.
