Hi, im new here and im from the Philippines. My family is planning to migrate in Canada ( no definite place yet) but im uncertain if my family of 5 members could live a decent life there. I have a wife, a pharmacist and three daughters aged 2,5 and 9 years of age. Im an electrical engineer but my work is in the telecommunications industry for 13 years already. I dont know yet how much i could earn working there in the telecoms industry. Could someone there in canada provide me information on the monthly expenses on the following:
house rental,electricity,water,groceries,internet service,telephone. I would also like to know what are the insurances i have to pay. Also how much would it cost me to bring my kids to school.
Pls include expenses that i missed to include.

For a family of five how much should be the total income per month to have a decent life there?

Thanks in advance...
