hi,
After i received me landing papers i asked me company if i can move to Canada, They said yes you can but we can only pay you $31000 before tax.
I am in India and my present salary is 8.5lakhs.
I can either live in Montreal or Calgary or Toronto the choice is mine.
I have 6 years experience in IT.

I always wanted to live in a developed country for obvious reasons but india is not bad either.
I am presently single, what will i be able to afford in this what seems to be very bad salary in Canada.
(1)Will i be able to live a decent life.

Here in india i have a 2bhk flat on rent and a maruti zen car and i safe 10-15k a month and live a slightly higher middle class lifestyle..
(2) will i be able to do that in Canda.
(3) Should i take the offer and come.
(4)If yes where should i relocate.
(5) What other option should i think about
(6) Once i have worked here for a year or so and get local experience can i get jobs easily.

Please let me know your valuable advice

Thanks,
Chittesh

You know you are a desi when ........ You spew forth the virtues of India, but don't want to live there...............You've never had a tanning salon membership

What is the meaning of 2 bhk? I guess it is 2 bed room. Then what is hk?

My suggestion would be to stay put where u r. Rs. 8 lakhs p/a is a very good salary. $31k is not worth to move to Canada. If u still want to move, keep trying for jobs from where u r.

what kind of a stupid company is this that is offering you only 31K in canada while they give you 8.5 lacs in india. Id say leave the damn company and find another.

There are no great 'laddoos' in canada and for someone like you, look at the future and see where india is going before you think about a stagnant economy like that of canada.

Id understand if you had a deadend job, like mine, but being in IT, you sure are crazy to even think about it. Dont go even for 91K unless its a great job and will add to your skillset
