What do you mean by "free"? From what I've read, you have to buy medical insurance in Canada and pay several hundreds a month. Maybe it's just being deducted from your salary so you don't notice? Good medicine cannot be free

For example, here is the fees in BC based on income:
http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/msp/infoben/premium.html

Income Cost/month
$0 - $22,000 $0
$22,001 - $24,000 $12.80 (one person), $23.20 (family of two)
$24,001 - $26,000 $25.60 (one person), $46.40 (family of two)
$26,001 - $28,000 $38.40 (one person), $69.60 (family of two)
$28,001 - $30,000 $51.20 (one person), $92.80 (family of two)
Over $30,000 $72.00 (one person), $130.50 (family of two)

In Ontario it's OHIP:

"If you live in Ontario, many of the health care services you need are publicly funded. This means that the government pays all or part of the cost for you. Services include:

visits to your family doctor and specialists
most basic and emergency health care services, including surgery and hospital stays.

To pay for these services, Ontario has set up the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. Most people in Ontario call the plan by its short name: OHIP. When Ontarians pay taxes, some of the money goes into this plan to pay for their health services. To be covered by OHIP, you need to sign up to join. Doctors and other health care providers then bill OHIP for the services they provide to you."

Hi. Good. Please tell me what you are getting when checking your ECAS ? Is there anything displayed? Please advise. Thanks

It can't locate my information yet. I figured as much as I used DD. Will check it again soon!

There are a lot of hidden taxes in the states, such as FICA, which can be as much as 6% of your gross. None of that factors in health care too, which is free (or almost free) for most Canadians, and often amounts to $4000-$5000 per year per person in the United States.

How about the 5% GST which is absent in the States?

If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate POF docs etc., there might not be a requirement of 'actually' calling the employers, references etc.

Now, this is really interesting. I read this post of qorax's long time ago, and since then I have been thinking: what exactly is this "well presented"? OK, I understand that this may not be the kind of knowledge you can find in forums — I suppose this is what immigration lawyers are getting their commission for, — but still I cannot help but wonder what does this "well presented" reference look like?? What are its core features? Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

How about the 5% GST which is absent in the States?

Depends on the state and province you are comparing.

But if you look at this US tax calculator, you will see that someone earning $80,000 a year in the United States only takes home $60,521 a year after taxes.
http://us.thetaxcalculator.net/

In Canada (I used BC as an example), that person earning $80,000 a year would take home $62,345 a year:
https://simpletax.ca/calculator

Google says the average american is paying $4,300 per year for their health care. In BC you would pay $72/mo*12 = $864.

After the two of them, the US person is left with $56,221 a year, and the BC worker $61,481, for a difference of $5,260 a year.

Yes, there is GST in Canada, but it's not charged on everything. For example, it's not charged on groceries, which is one of your main expenses (it is charged on things deemed junk though, like chips and soda pop). Even if you spent the ENTIRE $61,481 on things that GST applied too, you would still only lose $3,074 to the GST, still putting you $2,186 ahead of the American.

Can't give you +1 for now but thank you for the information and the link! I will immerse myself into the information sea after I got the visa, because I still haven't chosen my destination province and town
