New to these points.
1) When does new immigrants become eligible for medical facilities? Does this cover all family members?
2) When are you elibible for Social Security benifits?
3) What is the minimum wage in Canda?
4) What is the average retirement age in Canada?
5) On retirement how much money is generally advised as saved to keep you going at a normal way of life?
6) Can immigrants apply for govt. jobs right away or have to get citizenship to get govt. jobs?
7) I hear taxes are really high in Canda, I mean really 6 to half dozen comparing to the US (this question can be best answered by H1 immigrants from US) how much can you really save from your monthly check?
Peace to all Dude

Take my advice: bring to Canada at least half a million US$. If you don´t have that kinda money, stay in the US and fight on..... In Canada you just live! Canada´s strength lies in its solvency. US is relentlessly sliding into ever deeper debt. At least in Canada your high taxes are going to serve you when you need medical help. Let the Canucks answer ya on the rest of your queries.

Thanks for answers Sharon. You are always as helpful.
American Refuse; can´t say much about you and can now see even after 18 years in the US you did not make it.
Have you ever heard of the term "debt-financed growth"? You finance your economy´s growth with a lower rate loan. That is called sophisticated market; which has made the US a huge financial giant that it is. But then you are never going to understand that either in the US or maybe on the moon. So please spare Canada dude.

We will talk about the debt-financed growth concept soon: let the debt payments become the largest item on US budget and let the dollar lose its reserve status and we will see where it all ends up!
