Immigration to Canada

[skumar_ec]

Hi,

I am new to this forum and looking forward to apply for a Federal Skilled worker program or a PNP. I am from India and have good experience in Software field along with English but no French.
Members of this forum, can you please suggest which would be a suitable program for me to apply? Also, please let me know about the following:
1. Software job scenario in Canada - Is it a good time to move to Canada? Are there enough jobs?
2. Salary - How much minimum salary can I expect?
3. Monthly Expenses - What would be the average monthly expenses for a family of 3(2 adults and 1 child)?
4. Saving Potential - How much can I annually save in Canada in INR, considering that I would fly back to India atleast twice a year?

Thanks in Advance.

There are currently no IT roles on the list of accepted occupations for the Federal Skilled Worker program. This means that if you want to apply as a Federal Skilled Worker, you will first need to secure a job offer in Canada. It's quite difficult to secure a job offer in Canada, so you may want to focus on the PNP programs instead to see if anything there fits your profile.

1. Software job scenario in Canada - Is it a good time to move to Canada? Are there enough jobs?

Depends if you are super skilled in an area. IT jobs are pretty saturated right now, across Canada. Getting a job is not impossible but hard work.

2. Salary - How much minimum salary can I expect?

Again, depends but not as much as you think you will get.

3. Monthly Expenses - What would be the average monthly expenses for a family of 3(2 adults and 1 child)?

Again, depends where you settle. In Vancouver, for example apartment rent would cost you around $1000 to $1600 per month for a 2 bed. Other expenses, food etc probably $3000 per month. They do say to live in Vancouver you need at least a monthly net income of $5000, just to cover basic living. 


4. Saving Potential - How much can I annually save in Canada in INR, considering that I would fly back to India atleast twice a year?

No idea....sorry.
