Do you guys think I accept this offer ?
Kindly share your thoughts.
You did not specify your place of work or residence. It would be more expensive to stay in Toronto / GTA.
In general, it's not a bad offer. Your take home salary would be closer to $4500 - $5000. It can easily support a modest lifestyle. I am assuming the company will be providing you supplemental health insurance (for pharmacy, dental etc) and that your kid will be going to public school (i.e. no extra fees)

Thanks Ash for quick reply .
Place of work is Mississauga and Im planning to stay in Mississauga or Toronto .
As still offer is not finalize, They told me package cover health insurance (which will be covered in income tax).
Any idea, What is the standard component of a package a company offer ? As I don't have idea about what is required to be covered in salary package ?
Mississauga has plenty of apartment buildings. Rents would range from $800 - $2000 depending on the kind of building, location and amenities. You can check out some online. Mississsauga has a decent public transit system and is connected to Toronto by the GO transit and subway. If you get your apartment in a good location, you may avoid getting a car for a few months at least. Let me warn you that the car insurance will be very high especially for a new immigrant. The more you can wait getting a car, the better !
Typically, the following is covered by the companies
1) Supplemental health insurance (pharmacy and dental/vision) for you and family.
2) RRSP match (similar to EPF in India). getting rare nowadays but good to ask
3) Pension plan ... again very rare in private sector ... but good to ask.
4) Life Insurance coverage for you and spouse
5) Disability insurance
anything above and beyond is a bonus.
why dont you ask them for a summary of all benefits by email so that you have all the information.
let me know if you have any more questions.
OP,
Unless you are in IT, the offer is a spam offer.
We have lots of offers given by Canadian companies in India like holiday inn etc.. The broker will get a commission from you and disappear or they might be trying to file an immigration application from you for a hefty 'knowledge' fee.
Peace
