I think the previous poster has a point!

As far as I know, Toronto has more jobs to offer comparing to Vancouver. The rents are higher in Toronto but the real estate in Vancouver is more expensive. In Calgary the rents have skyrocketed in the last couple of years, I don't know about the wages but I guess they are comparable. In Alberta the taxes are lower comparing to Ontario and BC.

Hi guys, thank you for your support.
I have changed the base salary to $50,000 to $55,000.
First of all, I do not really care about salary during the first time as my primary goal is to get me into the country. Thus, I know, I will have to the price for this. However, as I will most probably need to change my job after some time anyway in order to get a more decent salary and responsibility in my job. It's not a big deal if the first job is not that lucrative. Personally, it's lucrative enough as it allows me to immigrate into Canada.

I am very thankful for any advice any of you could give me.
So, everything that you think might help me is very appreciated.

Best,
Eric

Almost never your first job is your dream job but when you get here and gain experience you can start looking for something more rewarding.
Have you decided in which city you are going to settle?

Actually, no, I have not yet decided where to go, because this is up to the job I can get over there. I'm going to that city, where I get work. As you said, you can always look for another job when you're there. That means to me that I can also always look for another city once I am in Canada.

However, my favourite location is either Toronto because of the business opportunities or Vancouver because of their lifestyle (and because I am used to their kind of weather ).

Vancouver has milder climate comparing to Toronto but it's raining a lot. Right now they are buried in snow and Toronto enjoys spring like temperatures...
