hi

Getting really excited but nervous at the same time. It is such a huge move but one that we are 100% committed to.

Just a quick question re salary .. what is the expected salary of an ex pat with 15 years experience as Civil engineer and now Snr Project Manager. Just would like to have some indication to compare to when we get offer letter. The poistion will be in Toronto.

Thanks for help in advance.

Thanks for that appreciate you getting back. Just want to be comfortable finacially and be able to send a bit of money back here each month to cover a few bits and bobs.

Very excited but quite difficult waiting ... it has been a very long process but know it will be worthwhile in the end of it . How long have you been in Canada. I know I have received posts from you before ..

Also, I always find it difficult to find my last post etc Is there a particular way to find your last post ... (maybe a stupid question, I know!!)

Hi smilingeyes

The Canadian government has a website that provides a data base where you can search for information about working in Canada. It includes job qualifications and wages per community in Canada. You'll see the green tab Explore Careers on the right & if you click on "By wages & outlooks" you'll be able to view wages per profession and location.

Working in Canada


It always takes a while to get to know your way around a forum! If you click on your username, you'll be taken to your profile page. Once there, you'll see a series of tabs .... click on Statistics - then click on view all posts made by smilingeyes.

Hope that helps!

Get used to it, things are often moving at a slower pace here. ;-)
