Hi everybody,

Rofia- it all depends how you manage your money and what your plans are. I can tell you that my current budget is $1,700b a month but it could be lower. I have decided to allocate allowances for my wife, my son and me as well as an amount for cloths and entertainment wich all together adds up to $270 a month. My rent is $759 a month including utilities and I spend around $100 on gas and the most expensive is the car insurance which at the moment is $184 a month. If I take the allowance amounts I can probably live with $1,430 a month which is not hard to make this kind of money to live. Now consider that I live in Windsor which is a lot cheaper than Toronto.

Reniaba, Canada is a wonderful place. Very clean and safe but please keep in mind that most foreign credentials such as pharmacist and veterinarians do not transfer here. It is very important to know if you will be recognized.

Dear Enrique:

I find your words pretty usefull. I am planning to go to Canada. But I am not clear enough how to get there. I mean, How do you apply. What kind of visa do you get at the first time. How hard or easy was to obtain it. Please can you guide me just at the begining, since you were in your native country?
Thank you,

Carls

Hey guys,

I am hoping to move to Canada in the next few months, just need to sort out the visa first. I have recently returned to Ireland after working in Dubai for 6 years.

Hi everybody,

I moved to Canada on January 28th, 2011 and I have to tell you so far it has been good. Please read my blog for my story and information that you might need when you go to canada.

Do not listen to people that say that Canada is not a good place to live. It is a beatiful country.

I hope that everybody gets their visas!

Hi Enrique,

According to the law, Canadians in Ontario are entitled for only 10 personal/sick days which only 2 are paid and rest are unpaid. They only get 10 vacation days(also the pay is less than regular pay) after 1 year of employment.

In this case
1.What would be a typical day look like for a person who is working full time?

2.Do people have enough time to spend with family and have personal time(may be read a book or go to a movie) apart from work on daily basis?

3.With the limited number of leaves (also the granted leaves are unpaid) do people take leaves? Will it be possible to take a leave to care for a sick family member(I assume that would be unpaid)?

4. Can a person take vacation to go abroad for about a month in once in may be two years?

5.How do people tend to have a work life balance?

I want to know more about work life balance, because I'm wondering how people manage their activities(visiting doctors, go see a game of the children, cook a meal with family, read a book, travel some destination etc.. ) apart from work, with the limited leave options.
I have a doubt whether people have only 1 or 2 hours(before going to sleep) in the evening to spend with the family after work and how they take care of the family if someone got sick(because of limited leaves).
Work life balance is really important for me when taking the decision about moving to Canada. Appreciate your support as a person who lives in Toronto for a long time.
