Hi fish!

I’m thinking about making the move to Canada and hoping you all can provide some insight.

Trying to plan my finances out, there are published numbers out there but is there a rule I can follow on % decrease in salary for Accenture specifically?

The process seems pretty straightforward and I feel like o could handle myself, would it be my best bet to hire an attorney?

Does DACA status complicate Express Entry at all?


Thank you all for your help!

I moved from Canada to the US so can answer part of the question. I’d anticipate a ~20-30% reduction in salary, not including the fact you’re also being paid in CAD. So $100k USD might turn into $80k CAD. The other piece to look into are taxes. Not trying to dissuade you but if financials are a primary driver, you might be surprised by a fairly drastic reduction in standard of living (mainly less disposable money for entertainment/eating out etc). This is especially prevalent in Toronto and Vancouver.

Thank you this is helpful!

I'm in Canada, and can answer.
Toronto, extremely concentrated and high cost of living. Canadians are universally under employed (read: paid materially less) for the experience.
Switching jobs can be a challenge as fewer top notch roles are available and buying a house or maintaining a car is much more expensive (insane prices, even more ridiculous car insurance rates).
Vancouver has similar issues with addictional 5% variations in salary (the sunshine tax).
Food, safety and multiculturalism are all pros for Canada and even more so for Toronto and Vancouver.

Glass door is a general/ loose benchmark for Canada; data is obscure, unlike US.

Taxes are a materially different, and generally higher than most US states.

Cost of living is generally higher due to high housing/ rental prices.

Do the math and make sure it works, but very much safer here and lots of outdoors activities.

Thank you! You’re right glass door wasn’t giving me helpful information but the first comment got me started and I used tax calculators for the rest which was 🙃.

Appreciate you!

It depends, if you've had DACA before the age of 18 and have no accumulated illegal/unauthorized presence then you should be good.
