Forgive me if this has been answered previously...
I note there are both Federal & Provincial tax rates on CRA website... Do you pay BOTH of these on your income??? This seems like you would be paying a VERY high tax rate.

I thought Australians were taxed quite highly, but I've worked out how much tax you would pay on $50000 in BC (as an example) and Canada is substantially more (over $2000 extra in tax) if you are paying both.
I have been doing a lot of research, both my and my husband's job (college teacher & carpenter) are paid a LOT less in Canada if the advertised jobs are anything to go by. We don't have or really want a lavish lifestyle, however it does seem like it would so much more of a struggle.... I really love the country but I hope to be able to afford to get around and see some of it as well!
