In Quebec, the engineers I work with now, have 8 years of experience and there salary is 110 000/year, after taxes 75 000/year aka 6250$ |
This is other than the bonuses they make every year ( around 15 000 and more)...

I am sure you don't know what you are talking about. You need to check the report of the ordre des igénieurs du Quebec, it is issued every year, with report on salary average etc. and after taxes on 110k you don't net 75k whether you are engineer or not.

There is a maximum and it is about $19,000 a year before Tax, that's why they allow you to get 18% of your salary in RRSP

Thank you!! |
I am not talking about impressions, the numbers of the order of engineers here are open to every engineer in the order, you can look at them. Lebanon is not that bad, its problems is that it is too crowded, not safe and lots of pollution, and of course the corruption but also some people are benefiting from it because corruption means lots of corrupted. But when it comes to the quality of life, people (and again not those working in Sukleen) are getting married, they are having children, they are sending them to schools and they are making ends meet, while here you also live to make ends meet. The style of life is what makes you choose to stay here or there.
