Hi Toronto Boy,
I agree that every place has its own advantages and disadvantages. The core idea of my discussion was to take care of the benefits I mentioned in my last thread. Surely, there are other factors to consider while deciding where to live. Community, rent, density, job opportunities, etc are important factors. Unfortunately, our people are shortsighted so they don't plan their family. They just want to take advantage of CCTB/GST/Roof etc, but they forget that the higher education is much expensive here in Canada. Each student in university costs at an average of $4,500.00 per year. I don't think that the plan for their kidsâ education. They say "Sub kuchh Allah per chhor do, Us nay pada kiya hay wohi rizk bhi day ga".
I even have seen people who don't try to increase their income because they think that they will lose their Govt. benefits and will have to pay extra taxes. They don't think that their income and tax curves get equilibrium at a point and after that your income is incremental. If we took the advantage when we were in need, why we should not help those who are in need now.
By the way, I came to across a very weird case, a guy with CMA-US and CIA has been defied to be eligible to write the CPA exam because CMA-US and CIA have not enough credit hours. I know that CMA-US is not an approved accounting body. As far I know CMA has 120 credit hours and CIA has 80 credit hours studies. It is very strange to me. Can you share your view?
Regards,
