PRACTICAL GUIDES FOR A BETTER START ABROAD.

One of the biggest shocks for Jamaicans moving to Canada is realizing that a salary can look impressive from Jamaica but feel very different once Canadian expenses start hitting.

A $50,000, $60,000, or even $70,000 salary may sound huge when you convert it to Jamaican dollars. But in Canada, you are not spending in Jamaican dollars. You are spending on Canadian rent, Canadian groceries, Canadian phone bills, Canadian transportation, Canadian taxes, Canadian winter clothing, and Canadian emergencies.

The mistake is thinking, "When I reach Canada and start earning Canadian money, everything will be easy."
