As an immigrant, don't compare where you come from. Learn to appreciate and integrate yourself into the culture and the new way of life there. The past is long gone. Forget it.
I don’t miss anything in hk. Lived here since 1999. Hope you will enjoy life here...You can learn flying in buttonville airport, sign up at Seneca college ! Learn boating in 2 weeks and get a lic too.
Basic groceries such as meat, potatoes, fruits and vegetables escape the HST. But once items are put in packages and processed somewhat, the tax applies. Prepared food and drink sold for less than $4 will not be charged the eight-per cent Ontario portion of the HST.
Were your parents migrated from China to HK.?? How about your brothers and sisters? You've mentioned you were living in poverty while living in Canada, and had problems paying bills etc. I wonder how could that happened in Canada? Didn't your family ask help from the Canadian Government?? How did your family immigrated to Canada from HK? I mean there are criteria to meet....
Come on, Canada’s life is down to earth, Canadian in general do not look for luxury goods or rich and famous lifestyle. You are in Canada, enjoy what Canada offers you, the wilderness and the outdoor life. Go out and enjoy it, I am sure you will learn to appreciate this country.
Why compare , compare and compare? You chose to move here. The world is under Covid, many businesses are suffering, people are worrying their jobs and economy. Please.....
Canada is great! Hong Kong people can survive and thrive anywhere we go:) I have been living in Seattle for a long time. Sales tax in Seattle is more than 10%, gratuity is typically 18%+ At least, Canada has got great food compared to Seattle.........
Hong Kong is so crowded that they have no choice but put everything together in the same place but this is not a normal living standard for the rest of the world. In any well developed countries, citizens health and well being is more important.
What you mentioned and enjoyed in HK is too materialistic! You moved to another country, shall adapt and adjust to the local culture. Be grateful for what you have at the present, stop dwelling in the past! Last but not least, the lifestyle you had in HK was inhumane!
@@the_sy_family If you were brought up here, well then it's about time to practice good citizenship and start contributing back to your country for all your FOUR children's benefits. By the way, welcome home.
Pretty similar with your thoughts.. Massage is like a luxurious hotel buffet in HK, I am going to try those groupon massage deals, about $35 for an hour. With cinemas, try Imagine Cinemas Elgin Mills when they reopen. They have lounge chairs and still have cheap Tuesday deals.
For massages or physiotherapy.. some companies cover up 80, 90 % depended to your plans.. Abt stress, here are more stressful interm of work, the tight of financial, bills keep on increase and you can't escape.. - hydro, water.. etc They're lots of rules not imply in back home.. or lose up some rules.. there are no toleration here.. sometimes the rules are too tight, these isn't good things.. Eg: Car accident, double ur monthly insurance.. ur insurance rates depending on which city are you living on.
A lot of us generally tip much more generously as appreciation of the restaurant workers who have lost significant earnings during the pandemic. If we can afford to eat out, I don’t mind paying a bit more for their service.
In Canada, tips are paid for services, usually pay for dine ins, deliveries, but not take outs. On the other hand, due to Covid-19 situation, I am willing to pay tips for small restaurants. The most trickiest part is tipping with Groupon. If you bought a $100 face value restaurant voucher for $50. When checking out, your tip should be based on $100.
乜多倫多唔係冇咗GST咩？你在Markham或Richmond Hill 住都已經好多種類的餐廳，如果你想落樓下就有嘢食，你應該住近Highway 7或downtown，只係你的選擇而已，唔好講到係犧牲，你可以留番係香港囉! 你想食貴嘢，去Markham 間 Ruth Chris 啦！再貴再正都有，咪玩啦！你唔知姐!!!!😝😝😝🤔🤔🤔🤔 唔好再用香港同呢度比較，冇一個地方是完美的，只有各處的不同而已。
Sales tax is now 15percent, i.e. what costs $1 is now $1.15 for everything except food and medicine. Dental care also taxable. Alcohol at 300 percent, tobacco at 200 percent, gasoline at 80 percent. A dinner for 3 easily costs $150, tax and tips at 15percent percent each, so the bill is 150x1.15x1.15. Tips is taxable too. There is a Canadian saying, "There are 2 sure things in life: death and tax." No joke. The cheapest house in Toronto is CDN$800,000. Minimum wage is $16/hr. Bus fare is $4 one way. You have to be rich to survive. In winter months, sun sets at 4pm. Temperature can often be under -20degC. An Arctic storm will blanket Toronto this week. Hope you like building snowman. You must be strong enough to shove snow from your driveway or you cannot drive way. The public side walk around your house is your responsibility too. Your neighbors can sue you. On the plus side, our Batchelor degree (say in engineering) at $160,000 for four years is about the cheapest in the western world. Think carefully, then join me in Toronto. We badly need more tax payers to replenish our pension fund. I am retiring.

邊間學校？
西方國家同香港比較，稅制重只係一個相對問題，唔好忘記香港地價係高絕全球，就算你高收入，都只係同銀行同發展商打工咁解啫！ 香港嘅低稅制其實一樣有唔細嘅代價， 高樓價已經變成間接稅，除非你成功靠父幹， 對香港低下收入階層市民，香港並非天堂， 好多人長期在職貧窮，對有資產上咗岸嘅香港中產或做生意嘅有錢人，先至係天堂。 但以前嘅香港，(講緊 50、60年代出世嘅香港人，70、80年代出世已經係水尾)，畀到一般年青人好多上遊嘅機會。 香港始終係自己地方，原則上冇種族歧視，發展機會大好多，但而家去香港已經完全唔同曬。
生活喺加拿大，可以得到嘅係寬敞的空間，自由嘅生活， 更多開心嘅家庭生活，良好嘅子女教育，唔錯嘅醫療系統 (其實香港都做得非常好)。 少咗嘅可能係職場上發展機會， 方便嘅交通網絡，多姿多彩嘅夜生活，同埋會思念香港親人同朋友。其實而家喺加拿大如多倫多、溫哥華生活，已經非常方便， 生活常需要嘅香港貨品食物包等， 包羅萬有， 港式茶餐廳酒樓食肆，質素都非常高， 同70，80年代移民加拿大嘅香港人生活方便同適應上已經有好大嘅改善。
唔知道有移民經歷嘅朋友，同唔同意我嘅分享呢？
我非常同意，香港公屋等6，7年，期間租屋佔大半人工。劏房都要5，6千，细到不可再细，居然有官材屋的出現，連人的尊严也沒有，只係好過好過流浪漢少少。我们不是和地產商打工，因为打工錢都會是自己的，現在值呈係每個月奉獻，是一個奴隸。最後錢都是去了最大得益者地產霸权喥。房地高到這地步，這麼多人負擔不起，根本是光明賊在打劫，政府不規管且縱容，這樣的官商勾结導致低下層怎么努力都追不上，永遠沒有出頭天，貧富懸殊越來越大，貪婪的地產大財團不停在平民身上斂財掠奪，香港根本成了他們的世界，低下層怎样生存？浄係連最基本的住房都令人喘不過氣，嗑過晒其他問題，除非你有錢，吾係叫人點生存，點努力都沒有將來，點吾想辩法離開！壓力又大，工時又長，環境迫，大財圑控制，政府又吾理，仼由人們惨。根本不是-個理想生活的地方。我有錢的話都不會買香港樓，根本不值這個錢，在其他大部份地方己经可以買到更大，更好的。點解要送今多辛苦錢給地產商自肥？
樓價和面積比例根本不合理
講的太對了 朋友🤝
記得從前要租帶睇，睇中文報紙連廣告都撈埋汁！哈哈哈
喺加拿大係享受最奢華嘅生活，就係同屋企人開心嘅生活，唔需要每1分每1秒同人競爭
I do missed Hong Kong as I re-entry to Vancouver since March this year!

多謝分享，每-處地方都有好有不好，能夠選擇自己喜歡居住的地方，是最好！
多謝你們真誠的分享，雖然我沒打算移民
1. 與其説犧牲、不如說是交換。你只係放棄某些東西、但同樣得到其他好處、不必講到太跨張
2. 加拿大稅高、但香港某方面稅項一樣極高、只不過大部份香港人好單純咁只將稅跟自己工作收入掛鈎、便以為香港稅好低。實情係香港人前呼後擁、千方百計、死慳死抵、負二三十年債、都要去買層樓自住。香港樓宇買賣每年涉及巨額金錢、每一個樓宇交易、便涉及一個印花費用、大家可以計計、香港人每年交了幾多稅？當然、在香港有能力買樓、已經好好嘢、立嘅稅、亦對全香港有所貢獻
3. 至於方便、百份百說得對、全世界相信無任何地方有香港的方便、特別醫療方面、這方面大家都會懷念香港睇醫生的方便
祝施家在加拿大生活愉快
反正喜歡城市生活的人留戀香港，喜歡田園生活的人留戀歐美。能自由選擇便是幸福！離開香港，我已經不再用走路時間做標準，都是開車計算。
好有道理, 夠中立
在美加使乜仲去戲院呀？屋企整個 Entertainment Room, 買部75吋電視，整張 recliner, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney Plus,....睇都睇唔哂。
Totally! The Disney+ Bundle is awesome!
我自己香港未到中學就移民，我發覺如果已經上咗中學先過嚟嘅朋友全部都掛住香港嘅便利etc, 佢地個心成日都掛住同埋怨呢邊而融入唔到🤣好似我咁移民時未試過呢啲嘢嘅就一啲都唔會掛住香港，佢地可能年年都返去，所以放唔抵，我呢啲係自己成年後自己儲錢先第一次返香港旅行嘅就反而一返去就唔係好慣，節奏太快🤣🤣 同埋稅呢啲已經由一開始就俾慣咗，第一份工就喺外國開始做所以無sticker shock...同埋我覺得無咗咁多luxury choice嘅生活環境真係會養成比較down to earth嘅性格嘅 ... 我自己住嘅地方就30 min出到超大嘅城市，即係啲top notch restaurant, hotels嗰啲其實好多選擇嘅，不過因為地方大身邊唔會個個都IG post 6星級酒店staycation, 每個weekend 就去michelin star restaurant, 唔會睇到覺得人有我要有咁🤣🤣🤣
我有同感!
各有各方便 稅高但人工高 (加拿大可能冇美國咁高) 香港冇乜較大公園 外國自己前門啲草 都多過香港細公園啲草 泊車仲攪笑 美加係睇邊個車位最近門口 香港有車都泊好q遠 錢-香港估票唔駛俾稅 如果美加打工唔係同香港差太遠 因為美加有好多方法減稅 只係識唔識姐
中學過去同小學過去真係好大唔分別! 我自己就中三下學期過去，極度掛住香港既一切! 當時 一早知道移民兩年半後會返香港玩，當時每日都倒數返香港既日子! 期待大學畢業回流香港。
@@kennyleung3467 完全同意，我好多中學識嘅同學佢地中學先過嚟，個個都超級放唔低同埋年年都返香港所以喺呢度無乜歸屬感(亦都可能因為佢地大部份係父母喺香港只係放佢地過嚟讀書) 當然好多都回流咗返香港。其實我都唔可以話佢地回流，因為可能一開始就只係諗住過嚟讀書。反之因為我係全家移民兼全個家族都喺哂外國嘅關係，所以無唔捨得同唔慣嘅感覺。
因為住屋太細，所以一有long weekend 就去泰國，台灣，日本打個轉。
我後生在多倫多住左廿五年 之後返港住左十五年到而家 前年四月返去已頂吾倒 太凍 生活交通太吾方便 我吾揸車 市中心方便但每樣貨品選擇少 又凍又大風 真係再返吾倒去了

我以前住Bloor 夾Parliament 真係好方便 我無揸車 行唔洗3分鐘 就有巴士站 麵包舖 酒吧 超市同食肆 坐巴士唔洗5分鐘就到subway
我認同你所講嘅嘢，加拿大除咗小朋友讀書以外，香港生活會更好！ 現在大灣區生活已經可以比美多倫多生活！ 我相信你將來一定會回流！
大谔區樓價如何，因为樓價決定了人的生活好是不是，如果人工用了大部份在租屋，剩下不夠生活，生活會有幾好？？
施先，你到咗加拿大講說話的速度慢左好多，你在香港的時候講說話快到呢......現在聽你講野舒服好多！👍🏻
因為香港環境實在修羅級速度
坐低食的要比貼士，外賣就唔使。其實我小時香港以前都係要比加一的，唔知幾時開始唔使比。同埋你住 downtown 就會方便好多，唔使揸車都得。
澳洲的銷售稅GST是10%，沒有規定要給小費，cafe 形式在counter 付款的不需給小費，一般餐廳若服務佳可酌量給5%左右，高端餐廳則稍多。
最緊要小朋友生活愉快, 讀書開心, 香港太多人喇

我去過加拿大旅遊好舒服，住係好好。但是如果在加拿大搵工作比UK會難嗎？生活費同住屋比UK貴嗎？我UK比較多認識！
其實每個國家都有好同吾好，其實都吾應該比較，選擇要離開一個國家，移屋到另外一個國家，就要放下係香港一切想法，去適應新生活方式。
住屋和生活費是豐儉由人的。找工作也是看個人意願，技能而定。加拿大過往十年經濟良好，基本上是工找人，不是人找工。但今次c19 改變了很多行業運作模式。有行業受損，也有行業受惠。
你們己很好、而加好方便我30年前過尼、無甘多超市同食肆。

我喺英國住了幾十年 早已習慣了這𥚃的生活！相反我覺得香港呢個地方真是唔啱長期的居住(指我自己)，太多人了！周圍都有人拖篋行街(好唔慣、好煩)！雖然沒有香港的方便，但我喜歡外國的寧靜悠閒！空氣也比香港好 😄 所以唔會掛著香港 😂😂
但習慣唔等於鍾意。每次當我同人講我唔鍾意加拿大咩嘢時，對方就會話住咗咁耐加拿大仲未慣？! 大佬呀！習慣唔等於鍾意呀，習慣咗返風落兩風濕唔等於會鍾意咗風濕!
也許是我的表達能力差吧 😂 ！我說的「習慣」其實是鍾意是喜歡，我喜歡英國也喜歡加拿大，我家人全部在加拿大(父母兄弟姊妹)！註：如果唔喜歡是很難習慣的．
香港還是自在，拖箧人都係低下層搵食的人，可能都係父母甚爺奶的倒影，也是大部分善良啲港人

你地太以偏蓋全。住屋方唔方便係睇你"住邊個位"！我以前住Yonge街Town House行落"樓下"就有幾間唐人餐廳。House越大佢地點越唔方便。香港你住屋苑先方便姐，你試下住村屋或半山區，樓下有鋪頭？？
@HILDA MY CHEUNG 其實多倫多都有好多屋苑樓下就有港式超市、餐廳、麵包鋪。但通常住呢類型住宅嘅人係上左年紀或唔想剷雪唔想揸車先住。有車嘅人就唔會太care。好多玩法。

你嚟溫哥華，要幾luxury都有，出街唔使揸車都有齊你要嘅嘢，G.S.T 5% P.S.T 7%, tips 由15%，18%到20%，買咩歐洲名牌都有，仲可以訂新貨送埋去你屋企，間屋唔夠豪唔緊要，拆咗佢搵專人設計整過個都仲得
最唔習慣移民咗去溫哥華係去日本、台灣、泰國、韓國旅行遠咗好多
加拿大俾貼士不算過份，10-15%, 美國好多 high end restaurant 20+%.
香港人是否普遍如兩位，不加插英文便無法用廣東話清楚表達？
每個城市都有它的語言特色，例如南亞人說話有body languages, 新加坡人說英語的tone，香港人特色是中，英夾雜。
呢啲叫做西式中文！ha ha!
港式中英表達，有親切感。
買名牌香港係方便。二手一手好多人用。外國冇咁care
想八卦下你們回流加拿大原因?
其實 溫哥華嗰邊 住某啲區一落樓 就大把嘢食 五分鐘都行到去茶餐廳， SkyTrain 幾分鐘又有商場食韓國嘢，中國菜算多choose 。
飲茶，茶餐廳啲嘢食仲好過香港。 又有 大型中國 超級市場。
其實可能你寫埋係住邊個省 會冇咁便利好啲，
因為真係好多人冇睇清楚盲中中就以為加拿大就係咁㗎啦😅

歐洲納稅情況更糟，荷蘭必須支付21％銷售稅, 工作時間像你一樣, 一天8小時. but about free time, is only watching TV, so Canada is better than Netherland.

You don’t have to pay sales tax on everything e.g. staple food.
No sales tax on bulk food (6+ buns) and paper products for babies (diapers)

未加工食品不需要税，比如牛奶面包米面。。。
仲有新鮮蔬果肉類都是免稅的。只是製成品要收H S T。
A lot of us generally tip much more generously as appreciation of the restaurant workers who have lost significant earnings during the pandemic. If we can afford to eat out, I don’t mind paying a bit more for their service.
In Canada, tips are paid for services, usually pay for dine ins, deliveries, but not take outs. On the other hand, due to Covid-19 situation, I am willing to pay tips for small restaurants. The most trickiest part is tipping with Groupon. If you bought a $100 face value restaurant voucher for $50. When checking out, your tip should be based on $100.

乜多倫多唔係冇咗GST咩？你在Markham或Richmond Hill 住都已經好多種類的餐廳，如果你想落樓下就有嘢食，你應該住近Highway 7或downtown，只係你的選擇而已，唔好講到係犧牲，你可以留番係香港囉! 你想食貴嘢，去Markham 間 Ruth Chris 啦！再貴再正都有，咪玩啦！你唔知姐!!!!😝😝😝🤔🤔🤔🤔 唔好再用香港同呢度比較，冇一個地方是完美的，只有各處的不同而已。
美國計，係稅前個數黎計tips! 如果人數多，有啲餐廳張單已自動加左tips, 要留心唔好又再比tips!
比上不足 比下有餘，知足常樂！你屋企有一老4個小朋友，攞咁多福利，比稅是應該的
請問除咗小朋友讀書免費，佢地同老人家一般仲有咩福利？
Totally agree
give & take .. you will do anything for your kids' future !
其實如果你找到home business的推拿按摩，價錢比spa 平很多，support local small businesses.
的而且確，加拿大嘅生活係平淡好多，冇咁多姿多彩，尤其係冬天最難頂，但加拿大係最冇種族歧視的國家，你哋有四個小朋友和你媽媽，又可以claim 返稅，係值得移民過嚟，如果得你們兩公婆，年頭交稅交到你想喊呀！
哈哈 你都係加拿大嗎？
香港不是累進式納稅嗎？
税这种东西没有办法，因为政府需要收稅来帮助和支付小孩的12年免费教育，65岁+老人退休福利，各种加拿大的福利，加拿大是一个劫富制贫的国家。收入越高扣税越高
香港相反地是劫貧濟富
Sales tax is now 15percent, i.e. what costs $1 is now $1.15 for everything except food and medicine. Dental care also taxable. Alcohol at 300 percent, tobacco at 200 percent, gasoline at 80 percent. A dinner for 3 easily costs $150, tax and tips at 15percent percent each, so the bill is 150x1.15x1.15. Tips is taxable too. There is a Canadian saying, "There are 2 sure things in life: death and tax." No joke.
The cheapest house in Toronto is CDN$800,000. Minimum wage is $16/hr. Bus fare is $4 one way.
You have to be rich to survive.
In winter months, sun sets at 4pm. Temperature can often be under -20degC. An Arctic storm will blanket Toronto this week. Hope you like building snowman. You must be strong enough to shove snow from your driveway or you cannot drive way. The public side walk around your house is your responsibility too. Your neighbors can sue you.
On the plus side, our Batchelor degree (say in engineering) at $160,000 for four years is about the cheapest in the western world.
Think carefully, then join me in Toronto. We badly need more tax payers to replenish our pension fund. I am retiring.
生活必需品唔一定加足13%稅，你去Costco買嘢其實見到牛奶嗰啲必須品係張單上面嘅右手邊冇咗個H，即係代表冇加HST
想問下知唔知加拿大 civil eng 咩城市多工程D?
我係外國正常5出街。全部online shopping
見你買咩車都知道你本身追求乜嘢生活，不過去到加拿大千祈唔好掛住香港虛榮奢華嘅生活，去到加拿大係享受最奢華嘅生活，即係每1分每1秒同屋企人嘅時間。
用最簡单的經濟學，機會成本去稱一稱，那邊是國安法，721，831，DQ議員，沒有頭條新闻，沒了通識教育，林鄭安在，仍然好打得 （欺善怕惡），貪官污吏回歸，建制當道，明日大嶼，無社會流動，子女大了認賊作父，批鬥父母。。。。。。。相信你知的比我更多，這邊是多税，購物不方便，無得按摩。你答我你會去那邊呢 ？
我移民美國多年，容許分享一下，加拿大税重，美國亦不遑多讓，但我们不是福利國家，很多税收去了做飛機大炮，然後作個國際警察，我们沒有公立醫院，若沒有買醫保的話（我兩口子每月醫保費500美元），有病時可以傾家蕩産。我们也有sales tax ,約6至7%，各州有差異。加拿大據聞是福利國家，像英国，有公管醫療綱，輕重病都不用付大多費用。另外論到購物不方便，身在美加，要轉换個尺度，不好再用脚程，而要用車程，可保證，不出数年，你们就更歡喜搬去更suburb 的地區，更喜歡寧静(像當年新移民住落了Scarborough後，再搬去Markam 一樣），週未開車去 grocey, 去downtown Yonge 街 shopping.然後回家。加拿大退休保障比美国好得多，具体你可以查到。至於按摩，在你身傍的冰雪骢明，有氣有力，她可以去進收一下，你就做guinea pig, 更可增進感情。工作方面，從来以香港人的速度及靈活，必是快人一步，理想達到。我意見如今最要緊是購置汽車代步，找一間教會，另外是子女教育安排。既然千辛萬苦來到，不要像以色列人，離開埃及，過了紅诲，到了曠野，怨三怨四，神就要他们在曠野四十年，不得進人迦南。愿你一家平安愉快。
如果我移加 可能會最掛住香港D活海鮮，全世界真係冇乜地方好似香港咁賣海鮮。超正、超方便！
I don't think you need to pay tax(gst or PST) for groceries
你樓下benz都有得買
你們家中有地方，可以考慮買張好些的按摩椅代替真人按摩。
@bkbkcat 何解?
@bkbkcat 不是，但加拿大這兒按摩椅品種，款式，質地也不差呀。可以天天用，方便過真人按摩。
@bkbkcat 安省南部
@bkbkcat 咁有患與平常人按摩是不同的。正如步行對身體有益，但老人有脚患，就不可步行太多。同理。
最吾慣冬天下午4/5pm 已經天黑，搞到個人好懶惰，食飽就想瞓
