The following case study first appeared on the CIC News portal and opinioned Canada to be imperfect, but it’s also the place to migrate permanently.
Migrants moving to Canada, especially from Middle East countries may find taxes too high. Most middle east countries do not levy taxes on its citizens. There is always a burden of figuring out one’s disposable income after taxes & calculating sales tax before purchasing any item. One cannot remain ignorant of taxation terminology – provincial and federal tax, refundable and non-refundable tax credits is an additional burden. The internet and mobile plans may seem extremely expensive with almost a difference upto ten times the benefits back home.
Paid leaves for migrants can be a concern as Canadian provincial governments guarantee just two weeks of paid vacation time every year, the exception being Saskatchewan offering three weeks.
