I would recommend you do some research prior to moving here so you dont have an unrealistic expectation of your salary.

check out websites like http://www.workopolis.com" rel="nofollow">LINK, http://www.monster.ca" rel="nofollow">LINK etc to determine what is the labour market like for your field.

I would not recommend relying on ANYONE's opinion unless they work in your field and they know the salary RANGE.

Even as an experienced professional, you may find yourself at a starting/entry level salary..depending on the company.

disillusionment (I think I spelled it correctly?) usually occurs when you dont research the reality of your new home.

Also be prepared or have ur credentials assessed as soon as you can.

I work with a lot of new immigrant professionals from India. Most dont know about or take the time to research before they land..hence the shocks.

best of luck.

Shankaracharya,

I am surprised to go through the very first hyperlink link in this thread.......

You had mentioned you would not go back even if you are offered a V.P. job in Reliance - India........which pays you 1 crore Rs.

I thought you are an MBA......and more sensible.........

Why dont you work in India for that salary for few years........come back to Canada with a couple of million dollars..........buy your own house for 250k and rest invest in multiplying funds which will give enough returns to live decent life........

You can forget $ 8/hr job............and stuff like that...........

I think a sensible person would do that.............

You people are really confusing me to settle down in Canada. Here in abu dhabi I am able to earn $900 with the simple job as an AutoCAD draftsman (my wife not working)!!!!!! Then why should I move????
