Hi Fishes..!!

I am being offered Canada Onsite from my organization, I am having Indian salary of 20LPA. What should I expect my Canadian Salary to be?

What is the average salary offered by Indian companies for similar experience for ICT Visa?
What is the average cost of living in Toronto?

Answers to any of these questions would be appreciated..!!

I cleared technical round and during final call with HR, my salary expectations were higher as per HR.

My current CTC is 9lpa, skill-IAM and Java, YOE-3. I asked for 14lpa, best they could give was 11lpa. I know I asked a lot.
