Canada? environment

Canada is one of the eight industrialized countries in the west, and its per capita energy consumption ranks among the best in the world. Although Canada is vast and sparsely populated, there are still many cars in Canada. Cars are a means of transportation for Canadians and a necessity for families. However, air pollution and environmental protection in Canada are among the best in the world. In Canada, even Toronto, a metropolis with a high degree of industrialization and a large population, has blue sky and white clouds and fresh air. According to statistics, among the 10 cities with the best air in the world, Canada accounts for 7.

Canada? price

Generally speaking, the price level in Canada is not high, which is above the world average. In Toronto and Vancouver, the consumption level may be higher, and in other provinces, it will be better. At the same time, it is no problem for low-income Canadians to live in Canada. They can meet the basic needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, except buying a house. Therefore, the price level in Canada is not high relative to Canadian citizens. In Canada, food is usually relatively cheap. Except for foods containing chocolate and foods processed into finished products, such as canned foods, other foods are not taxed. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables and other high-energy foods are not expensive. A person's monthly food expenses are about 100 Canadian dollars, usually three dollars. .. all spread out.

Canada? life

Canada advocates a slow-paced lifestyle. Maybe it's because it gets dark early in winter in Canada, so everyone is lazy and the pace of life is slow. This slowness has both advantages and disadvantages. The good thing is that everyone is slow and the work is very leisurely. In Canada, you can hardly see anyone working overtime. Everyone goes out on time at 5 o'clock, and if they don't get off work early, they are already excellent employees. The downside is that if you happen to be in a hurry, you can only hope that everyone will finish it soon.

Canada? medical treatment

Canada's universal health care system is one of the best in the world. Every Canadian can get a medical magnetic card with a photo. Its English name is health card. With this card, medical treatment, laboratory tests, fluoroscopy and surgical hospitalization in Canada are free. The doctor will charge the government Ministry of Health according to the number on the card. But you have to pay for the medicine yourself. The doctor writes a prescription, and the patient must go to the drugstore to buy the medicine himself. Medicine is not expensive, but generally affordable. However, if you have a slightly formal job in Canada, the boss will generally buy insurance for medicines, and all medicines for the whole family can be reimbursed. In other words, as long as one member of a family can have a formal job, the whole family is seeking medical treatment. .. all spread out.

Canada? welfare

65438-0996 The Canadian federal government extensively solicited opinions from people from all walks of life in Canada, and the Canadian government decided to change UnemploymentInsurance(UI) to Employment Insurance(EI) to reflect the new needs of economy, labor market and workers. We in China are generally called unemployment insurance. The Canadian government's EI policy is also being adjusted in time, hoping that EI can give every Canadian equal opportunities and better serve the families and children of the unemployed. In May of 200 1 year, there were some new changes and a new unemployment insurance policy was formed.

How to adapt to life in Canada

1. Go out of the house and integrate into the society

Many new immigrants are afraid to go out because of the language barrier. In the long run, I will increase my psychological pressure, feel depressed and lose confidence in life.

2. Study English hard and overcome language barriers.

Language is an indispensable communication tool in people's daily life. Without language, human society would not be as developed as it is today; Without language, the human brain would not be as perfect as it is today. Not being able to speak English not only makes you lack the ability to contact with society, but also makes you silent and suffer from anxiety.

Find a job to enrich your life.

After going abroad, some people can't find suitable jobs because of their poor language, and they don't want to do inappropriate jobs. At first, they felt nothing. After a long time, they will feel bored and depressed mentally.

4. give up the idea of returning to China, and it will be safe when you come.

When new immigrants just go abroad, they don't adapt to the environment and life in all aspects, even the old immigrants who have been abroad for many years will have this situation, which is easy to cause emotional instability.

Forget the past achievements from the beginning.

Skilled immigrants may have better jobs in their original places of residence, and some even have some achievements and honors in their work. If they always cling to their past, they can't make progress in new places, and it's hard to have a pioneering spirit.

6. Make friends and expand your life circle.

People like socializing, but not many people really like seclusion. Some people feel bored after going abroad, one of the reasons is that they leave their friends and relatives who have made friends for many years. If you are not good at making new friends when you go to a new place, you will feel lonely.

7. Do more good deeds to help others.

In addition to making a living and looking for a job, each of us can join some communities and societies. Although these jobs are unpaid, they can make our body and mind feel a sense of pleasure and satisfaction. Helping others is also helping yourself, and the happiness of others is also your own happiness. Immigration is a long and difficult road. As long as we have this confidence, there will be a golden road ahead of us.

The cost of living of Canadian immigrants

At present, the minimum living guarantee is 900- 1000 Canadian dollars per person per month.

Relief funds, pensions, subsidies, unemployment benefits or other subsidies issued by the government are basically in accordance with this standard.

With this concept, the cost of living you want to calculate will be rich and frugal.

If a family of three rents a house, the minimum expenses are as follows: renting a house (2 rooms, 1 hall) 800- 1000 Canadian dollars, meals 600-800, public transportation three-person monthly ticket 180-200, VoIP communication 100. This is only the simplest standard of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and tourism, cultural and sports activities, socializing, eating out, mobile phones, personal hobbies, clothing, furniture, electrical appliances and so on are not included.

If you buy a house, you will lose 800- 1000 of the housing cost, increase the local tax and school tax of the house by about 300-400, increase the heating fee 100-200, and increase the maintenance fee 100-200 or * * management fee (the apartment needs maintenance, and the apartment has * *.

If you drive, you just need to go to work to buy food. Every ordinary car100-150 (No.87 gasoline) and good car 250-350 (high-grade 9 1 and No.93 gasoline).

If the family income is low or none of them have jobs, each child under 18 (under 6 years old) will receive a monthly subsidy of 500-700, as well as other subsidies and tax rebates, then the expenses of the initial immigrants (those who have a child without a job) are estimated to be 1 100- 1800. If there are other subsidies for parents to study, it is about 400-700 per month, depending on what school you study and what degree you study.

It is difficult to answer the question about salary, because there are too many differences among individuals, majors and units.

Take engineering as an example. The average starting salary of college graduates is 40,000-50,000 Canadian dollars, and 3-5 years working experience is 60,000-65,438+10,000 Canadian dollars, including welfare insurance. More than 654.38 million yuan, must be the leader or senior staff of a profit-making company.

Undergraduate students in applied disciplines are more likely to find jobs, and the main direction of postgraduate doctoral students is scientific research and teaching. Scientific research depends on scientific research funds, otherwise it will be suspended. China people also become university professors with high income and many holidays, but it is not easy to be a tenured professor. If you are hired, but not very popular with the students, the students will probably fire you. Most teachers in China are not humorous and have no personality, hehe, you know.

Work experience and recommendation are more important than education.

Blue-collar workers are not lower than white-collar workers, especially technical blue-collar workers. So there is no saying that blue-collar workers are not as good as white-collar workers. Money is the last word, no matter what color your collar is.

The minimum starting salary for white-collar workers is 25,000, the median is 40,000-50,000, the average manager is 50,000-80,000, and the top level is more. Minimum hourly wage 10 Canadian dollars (it changes every year, it seems to be only a little more), whether it is tired or in the office.

Ordinary civil servants are relatively low, but the benefits are good, the pension is high, they have no worries for life, and there is no gray income. Don't think about using public funds to eat, soak your feet, massage and pick up girls. It is better to be a civil servant or an official than to go to China. Corruption is everywhere, but the vast majority of civil servants in Canada are honest.

Income, benefits, etc. Different industries and different units are very different, so it is difficult to make a one-size-fits-all approach. Paid vacation is very important in welfare, at least 2 weeks per year (excluding public holidays), 3-4 weeks after working for 5 years, and 4-5 weeks after 10 years.

After paying taxes, the difference between the highest and lowest wage earners is generally not more than 2-3 times. Therefore, Canada is a paradise for ordinary people and a place of sacrifice for dedicated tax heroes.
