lawyers fees are discretionary. medical fees depend on which county you are living in.
what are you trying to figure out?

hahha
Put the minimum working wages as per Canadian rules $7.15/hr
40 hrs a week ===========> $ 286
4 weeks / month =========> $ 1,144
12 months/yr ============> $ 13,728
----------------------------------------
And this is just 1 yr at min wages... atleast for any basic job you can make an easy $10
And with the kind of qualifications we come to Canada... you should be paid a min of $20 or so... (AS PER THE QUALIFICATION WHAT CANADA ASKS US)
Anyways just with the min wages.... waiting for 1 yr makes us looses like $13,000+
funny how we spent so much money to get screwed...

to put it into another perspective... CIC fees for one adult is less than it costs to insure a car for one year. You spend $2,000 for a holiday and all you have at the end is pictures. If you drive a new car off the dealership lot and you have lost more than $2,000 in instant depreciation.
