if you have kids , you will definitely survive.
Most Pakistani's- do this- they have 3 , 4 or more kids -most of the time on welfare.
they get social housing lot of welfare money from Govt - they also do cash-jobs.
over all they make way more money than any professional Desi (architect, accountant, or IT guy etc).
they collect money & send back home to Pakistan to make new " Pakka Makaan"
Paki's are smart they know how to fool any government - they do this almost everywhere in western world.
so it's all art , some people are mastered in this art- you need to know how to fool these western donors & enjoy life --no need to worry about survival.

Adam,
You are a little misinformed about the Welfare system.
Each Welfare receipient has a Welfare officer. The duty of that officer is to arrange you to go into main stream work. So for this they will ask you to attend all job seminars, resume making work shops etc.
Many go from Welfare into Physical disability support. Once you are in physical disability, then your welfare is guarenteed till death.
How ever, if the welfare officer sees you eligible to work, he will not leave you in peace. After a few months, they will push you into road crossing guard or other works, wherein you will get welfare but then you will have to start working for a few hours a day.
Also jobs like Gas station works , pizza delivery, security guard is not easy to get. It is very hard to get these kind of jobs.
As I had mentioned earlier, this will not work for young , educated people like Indian's or Pakisthanis or even women who have their husbands in the Gulf.
It will work for people from Carribean and SA and Eastern Europe, where they will take a peg each night, watch TV, have boyfriends and sleep. That is why most people from the carribean are over weight.

Yes they will go on ODSP . Its like EI , they will force you to do any low level crap work to get off welfare. Welfare atleast you have a DRUG plan & free prescriptions drugs, eye glasses , dental etc.
Minimum wage crap job , you have nothing. So being on welfare & doing cash jobs is better than just doing a minimum wage crap job..you can't survive on a minimum job anymore, it will barely cover your rent.

Plus Paki's get FREE food in their Masjid all the time. They even get Non-Veg there, like Chicken,Mutton & beef biryani. Unlike FREE food in temples & gurudwaras, where its strictly veg food.
Women just wear a Burqa, so they don't have to spend money on clothes ..they can wear the same Burqa everyday. They also cover their face, so NO need for makeup, you can save money over there too

Adam,
Agree with you on this one.
The best one will be getting a Gas station job from 8pm till 8 am (12 hours X $ 10 a day, 7 days a week) or a midnight to 8 am job.
This way, if the Welfare officer asks you to report to him, you can go during their office hours.
These officers will also come checking some days in the day time. That time, they can wake you up from a deep slumber and you can turn the dosai on them, saying that since Canada did not offer job oppertunities, you were crying the whole night and that you were able to sleep only in the morning.
There are a number of earning oppertunities, even when on welfare.
1. Welfare amount
2. Food banks / soup kitchens
3. Cash jobs (may be like gas station, child minding, apartment cleaning etc..)
4. Survey jobs / online jobs
5. Getting free stuff available by the Toronto municipality
6. Buying in Kijiji and reselling or Buying in garage sale and reselling in Kijiji (as an example, when leaving from Canada, I was able to sell many of my stuff over the web for a nice sum. Some cases I had to do delivery. So have a friend who has a car)

yes agree -what they wear inside Burqa is a mystery for non-muslims-we can only keep wondering
;(may be something, may be nothing at all - so complete saving on clothing & makeup
the clear answer is ..it's not survive but you can actually make good money...from welfare..
but you have forget morla ethics and to be The bottom level human..
- You must have atleast 4+ kids..possible more without fail any year !!
- wife must not work !
- You have do CASH jobs ...ONly Cash Jobs..so your income (as well family income) stay lowest
- everytime during the CRA scrutiny .. wife goes there with all children togather with one standard answer.." i don't know english and i don't know about my husband's whereabout "
***Than live life king size *** like smart man.. idiots works..smart enjoys...
- there is more disadvantage is being taken ..than real needs advantage..
- i know many people who never worked in his life..welfare all times...
- they have 2-3 house and 10 times richer then average hard work and honest citizen..
Unfortunately ..i know this..but i can't step in..becasue of my moral ethics don'tallow me..actually as a honest citizen and and pay big tax every year..we afraid from CRA ...but this ass holes dosen't....
