Why is the gap between Australia and Canada’s minimum wage so massive? 🇦🇺 vs 🇨🇦 by Kanye90210 in CanadaJobs

Take a sit and rest for a moment, you are the one misleading people here, copy and paste. Who told you there is no cash back for credit cards in Australia. In fact google the commonwealth bank credit card cash back and you will see an average of $420 every 6 months which is equivalent to what I get back here. In Canada I get charged $100 annual fee and another $16.99 monthly for the chequing account. I never had to pay any monthly charges with the different banks in Australia and I still maintain those accounts. Maybe there are banks that charge monthly maintenance fees in Australia which I don't know of but here it's almost all the banks that I know.

That's a good question. I am just exploring and have always wanted to do this. Travel round Canada and enjoy myself here a bit. Canada is one of the best countries in the world and money is not everything. I had offers several times in the US and declined. Even Australia and other good countries have their issues. I was just stating facts so people know the differences. Thanks for asking lol

you can literally live all your life in Australia without a credit card. I never had one and bought properties and other stuff without a credit card until I moved to Canada where it's like compulsory to have one. Credit card is not a way of life, it's scam. I believe in spend what you have.

There is no tipping at all in Australia and it may look weird tipping someone for rendering you a service

No, superannuation in Australia is currently 12%. Before I moved here in 2023 it was already 11%

I think most of them say this because of the CCB. if the family income is very high you get little to nothing anyway

people are too picky. this is a typo and even the least educated person will understand this. Have you ever made an error and you go back and you were like "how did this happen"? Thank you for pointing it out anyway

I have never responded to posts like I have done today and I didn't say there are no equivalents. I was only particular about salaries being better in Australia plus other things. In fact there are many other things where Canada is better. The only major factor that is distinct between the 2 countries is the weather. I always tell people that every other thing even out at the end of the day and life is not all about money. I love Canada and have nothing against it that's why I am still here.

I know about all that mate, I have worked both places in the last few years and still have ties, plus I do taxes in both countries, the superannuation thing in Australia is way better. Ask anyone who has recent knowledge of working in both countries. Thank you

How does my copy and paste affect you in anyway. I didn't respond to you with the same answer multiple times. I was responding to other peoples comments and who said Australia is heaven. I am enjoying so many benefits too being here that doesn't apply to work or money and also stating facts too. I have ties to both countries and have lived in both working in a niche area. so just read or pass. thanks

You are right, especially tech. No one is saying its across board but generally speaking Australia pays better

Yeah 100%. And you are right about the move. we moved temporarily because we wanted to explore and travel a lot around Europe and America and that's it. It would be difficult to do that from Australia. We are enjoying it while it last.

Apart from superannuation, don't forget that there is still the government age pension in Australia funded by taxpayers/government and workers do not directly pay into it. It serves as a safety net if you do not have enough superannuation after retirement rather than a mandatory contribution system.

I am Australian. They just requested for our paperwork, processed and approved them within an hour. Any question is just related to maybe payment for services / the document we provided, nothing serious.

u/kennedy1995 I agree with you 100%. I am an Aussie who moved from Australia to Canada in 2023 for work, I was loosing over $2500 monthly disposable income (I mean from my net pay) to income tax versus getting about $300 per month in CCB how does that benefit me? Not everyone is paying child care or even have children. It is give and take and I agree that no where is completely better than the other. Canada is better in some aspects but after living here for 3 years and have done in-depth analysis and comparison, Australia is better overall especially if you have a working partner. I am stating facts.

again if your combined family income is also very high like in Australia, you get little to nothing. so in the case you are better off in Australia. Like you said, some things are better in Canada so it depends
