In reply to Len Wagner. I agree with you Len. I had to mentioned sales tax so that immigrants can assess how much they can earn and spend on goods (with sales tax) depending on the province. This is the factor of living in Canada that newcomers later on realize especially if they want to own a house which can be pricey in top known cities.

Hello… just wanted to tell you that while this info may be a help to prospective immigrants or temporary workers the section on Canadian taxes is completely misleading. Yes the line that says the more you earn the more taxes you pay … but then you go into SALES tax.

That has nothing to do with deductions from your pay. That is only applicable when buying goods and has nothing to do with income. That info is correct, I assume because we do have those taxes but that isn’t what is deducted from your earnings.

Hi Carolyn!
I am so grateful to have found your blogs. It’s really helpful. I am currently researching for these kind of informations because i am planning to apply as caregiver this coming April right after my graduation in Caregiving NC II here in Cagayan de Oro. I planned to apply directly without an agency because I can’t afford it. That is why i need some advices from people like you. Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
Charisse

In reply to Anna Maria Ferrer. Work experience is a huge factor in finding a job in Canada. For now, he could answer this questionnaire to see what are the options based on his education and work background. You could also check the provincial nominee program in different provinces in Canada. The process varies for each province. And there's also the Express Entry. For now, it would be best for you and your son to gather as much information and to save funds; both of which will help a newcomer start on the right track. Good luck to your son Anna and kudos for doing the research.

Hello Carolyn,
Thank you for being generous with your experiences and advice. You are very helpful to people planning to come to Canada. Would you have any advice on how my 23 year old son in the philippines can come to Canada? He was a university graduate in IT and is currently working. He is single. We tried to apply for visitor Visa but he got denied 2x. We’re now looking at applying for a program in university here like an advance study in IT.

Could you give me an insight on his to go about this process?

Thank you in advance and God bless your good heart.

Anna Ferrer

In reply to Jessica. Jessica before you pursue a caregiver course, read the post about the 2 pathways for caregiver that will end in November 29, 2019. It is not yet sure of what will happen after the program ends. There have been many changes in the past; that includes the closing of Live-in Caregiver Program and the same thing is about to happen for the 2 pathways for caregiver.
