You will need 2000 to 3000 $ to live in canada. and you will make that much.
You will not save anything in life.
Chances of you going in Credit card debt is high.

This is true, you may have to work loabur jobs in starting period, yes as a cab driver you can earn sufficent survival, but it's most expansive and time consuming process to get a Driving Licensce. You will have to give several tests and pay appx. 1200-1500 CAD $ for getting a driving Licence. For being a full fledge driver it can be take about 6 months.
After getting a Licence, another thing is to get "Cab" Plate

May not be true for a person who has driven in the past (before immigrating to Canada).
In a poll on this website 37% of people said that they got their driver's license (G2) on the first attempt.
97% of people said they got it within 4 attempts (results of the page are available through a link on the home page).
Driver's courses from Ontario approved driving schools are available for about $300, which includes 10 hours of instruction on the road. Additional hours are usually charged at about $22 - $25.
Shouldn't cost as much as $1,200 - $1,500.

A person who has held a driver's license for more than 4 years outside Canada can go up directly for the G license test, therefore the process does not need to take 6 months.

Yeah, cab plates are a different issue.

Not directly related to the question - but till recently you were asking questions as an intending migrant, but now it seems you are already in Canada. If you are in Canada, please change your location so that the person who you reply to does not get an impression that a guy from India is giving advice/reply.

Is that true Crenshaw - I had about 15+ years experience and a letter supporting that from concerned authorities in Singapore, but they had asked me to first appear for G2 (or G1 exit as they call it)

What I posted is absolutely true, Chandresh. It is possible to go upto the G2 exit directly without going thru the G1 exit test.
I don't know whether the rules have changed since you applied or whether you were wrongly advised.
I was mistaken about the 4 years, apparently it is only 2 years - ie if you have 2 or more years of driving experience from any other country you can take the G2 (exit) test.
Information is available on the following web link.

(incidentally I am acquainted with this route because I used it to get my G directly)
