Complete information should be provided to immigration aspirants

If I would have known about Canada before I came here then I would certainly have never been here. The sad thing is that most people like me put all their dreams into coming here and once here, it is financially impossible to go back and start the same life back home. We left England because we felt that the country was going rapidly downhill with increase crime rate, yob culture, etc.

I came to Canada on the promise of a job. And one thing that I have learnt after coming is not to trust anyone here. I must say that many people are really nice, but there is no back up here.

You will definitely face problem once you are here. So, where should you go if you wanted to complain? I had an issue when I was trying to sponsor my mother and so, I went to the office of the local MP and I was told there to be grateful to my own existence in Canada. You can imagine how angry I was.

We leave everything to come here, to contribute to the Canadian taxes, etc only to learn that we are not valued here.

I live in a big house and have a salary of $50,000 a year. Also, I have a very nice car. So it is not the lack of resources that makes me bitter. I just want to make sure that no one goes through what we did, though it appears that many are suffering. The first thing that should change is that people should be provided complete information before they make such a big decision.

The first thing that I would like to point out is that personal taxes start at 33 percent, so I actually end up earning only 67 percent of my actual income. You file taxes once a year. Just tell me if this makes sense; I earn $50,000 and got back $100 tax back at the end of the year because I am single & my brother earned $60,000 and got back $900 from his return as he is divorced without children. What is the calculation behind this big difference?

Last year they introduced a new medical tax that increased with your salary amount. Within a period of six weeks, the new tax was stamped and enforced.

There are many other things that I wish to share. However, if you have any questions then I would be happy to help.
