  • 相约北美 / 移民留学 / Could anyone tell me the salary level of postdoc with 3 years' experience? -cajunman(happyhut); 2001-12-5 {274} (#287407@0)
    Is $35,000 sufficient for a 3-person family to survive in GTA? Is a 2-bedroom apartment afordable?
    In the US, there is 4% increase of salary every year. Is it also true in Canada. Can I get a little bit more according to the working experience?
    Thanks for any information.

        • dont think ca's income tax rate is substantially higher than usa's. ur spouse seeking degree is a good/bad thing--- -tongbuyong(通不用); 2001-12-6 {165} (#287465@0)
          your pocket money becomes less, but meantime the tuition u help pay can be calculated to your non-refundable benefits when u file ur tax return.

          ya, rent is high.
