itsgonna take around 5 years

#

🤷‍♂️

#

there are so many variables in your plan lol

#

there are so many if

#
  1. did you get any scholarship/ grad offer in the state? when will u graduate?
  2. did u get offer at loo? do you like to stay in canada? if so you still need to get a job in canada.
  3. do you have a job offer? do you have a work permit? what kinds of work permit do you have? close wp or open wp? do you have sponsor? etc.

I like to be around wealthy people + I dont want to get stabbed in TTC, so same

They must have a lot of crosisants shops

#

it sounds like u can get pr in like a year or 2 then IF I WAS YOU, i would go to canada 🤷‍♂️

#

personal opinion

#

because i dont like the risk of h1b lottery

#

i mean have you tried to apply for jobs in canada and tell them that u dont need sponsorship?

#

🤷‍♂️

#

how many positions that u have applied?

#

i mean u might want to apply more

#

FYI: in canada there are some PNP that can help u get pr faster

if you want to be most prepared for the write offs, etc. look at the categories of things under T2125 and bring questions about those to your accountant if you're doing it that way rather than DIY (e.g. what can or cannot be claimed under each category, etc.). At least that way you've got a bit of a better starting point for a discussion.

it makes sense these firms make these OAs auto, barely anyone ( relatively ) that applies can acc do it all

#

I have a question guys

#

I finished all my classes but have the option to not get my degree/delay graduation, is there any benefit in graduating rn? I have a job rn so its not affecting job search because Im not looking att any. I guess I just cant move to the states if I want to until I get my degree - which I dont plan to do till next year

kind jasper
#

are you considering taking more classes, or, it's just the actual awarding of the degree either way?

#

if it's just the actual awarding of the degree, I'd graduate sooner rather than later (but I also don't think it's a big difference, really)

mellow anvil
#

which canadian fall internships have yall applied to? i’ve done a couple so far but haven’t seen much

real storm
worldly ridge
kind jasper
#

(some) interviewers use graduation date as a proxy for not being able to (legally) ask ages, etc. and some will assume more maturity if your graduation date is say a year earlier (this effect obviously diminishes over time, or, if you have more than one degree); other than that, more chance to graduate/reach a milestone with others who you went through the program with at the same time is a bit better satisfaction wise

I think a big reason for this is they hire a ton of people from waterloo to intern, like this summer they hired 18 people total

Idt this is going to be a factor for ft tbh

does any1 here know how much cisco pays in canada

How much tax refund do u guys get
I thought if I paid 5k tax for a company, I'd get all 5k back
But it's only a portion 😦

hallow urchin
#

For the fall

reef iron
hallow urchin
#

Just from sources I saw online

reef iron
#

i heard somebody got 45 + sign on

#

and i am kinda lost

#

as to what the right figure is

#

so if somebody interned at cisco before lmk

real mason
reef iron
#

lol

#

and even online just cisco shows up with that much i think

#

like its a big range if u look online

hallow urchin
reef iron
#

it just says canada

oblique crater
ashen mason
#

Ya it not that simple.

#

If u made less than the basic amount then u should not pay any tax

hallow urchin
hallow urchin
#

Like if I pay 5k in income tax, I'm
above the basic amount by definition

#

So my question is, is it possible to get all that money back when u file ur taxes
Cuz for me that wasn't the case this year filing for the last year

#

Because tuition credits don't get used the way I thought they would
so ya I'm just asking if other ppl also didnt get 100% of the income tax they paid last year refunded back to them

ashen mason
#

basic amount means u dont pay any tax on your income up to that basic amount. Like the BC amount is around $12000 meaning. you dont have to pay any taxes on that 12k you made. There's also the federal portion which is higher

ashen mason
reef iron
#

i think i understand what @hallow urchin is asking

#

they are just tryna ask that if they can get 100% of the tax back if they have tuition credits

#

assuming they earned more than the basic amount

ashen mason
#

right. paid tuition is a deduction, if you made 40k, but paid 5k in tuition, you would be taxed on 35k essentially,,

reef iron
#

wait wdym by this

#

like if i earned 200k and I have 120k tuition credits

#

i will be taxed on 80k

#

rt?

#

or not

#

which is about 50k?

reef iron
#

ye where does the 20% thing come from

#

like is it the upper limit

#

oh u are talking abt tax

#

i thought u were saying

#

that only 20% of 240k is usable

#

per year

#

or smth like that

#

ye thought so

#

wdym by this

#

ye i get it

ashen mason
#

thats so they can estimate how much they should take off your taxes

reef iron
#

ik ye gotcha

#

i got taxed anyways LOL

#

but i will just file for return

#

ye

#

but intern

#

so idk if they take it seriously

2nd tech 2 weeks ago
"Need few more days to decide" exactly a week ago
Nothing until today

Thats roughly my timeline

Yeah

#

Sorry about your rejection though, always sucks after having put that much effort/time into the process

U know funny thing is that i applied for the frontend one

it really depends on place and how much you'd be spending, if you're living downtown and spending alot, then yea 100k would be optimal, but if you're a bit further out in like cedarvale or if you go to like koreatown, rent will be lower and you could spend less on stuff

to me salary is relative to cost of living, so 80k would be great for me since i dont spend alot but for you it could be awful depending on spending

I feel like these perceptions are reminiscent of a time that’s passed. These places are not solely hiring top notch engineers from Stanford anymore, they’re mega corps with tens of thousands of people flowing in and out.

# ashen mason Yes they are taxed at 53 percent

No they're not. They're treated like any other income so will be taxed depending on your total income. Any gains you receive from them will be treated as capital gains so only half of the gain is taxed as well

What if you choose to hold cause you have some idea for work which is gonna make a ton of money for them and like double the stock

And otherwise you would have sold

ironically layoffs pump stock price KEKW

ashen mason

Yes once tax time comes it's against your normal tax rates

#

Yes most people say to not hold the stock.

storm stream
ashen mason
#

I don't think it's possible nor would it make a difference. It's still income for you, so your company has to withhold the tax.

#

If you have it in your TFSA, it's the growth of that investment that is tax exempt. Like dividends, and capital gains ( when you sell)

#

Money and other assets in your TFSA have already been taxed

Yeah I was going to say this doesn't include COL, actually Europe should be bottom then

merry shoal
#

I wasn't taking into account COL this was just pure base but as I said below it wouldn't be that if I were to change my mind. But also it depends where in Asia ofc

#

Yeah i wasn't taking col into account like I said

#

Idk enough about Europe either I just hear ppl say it's shit and I see low numbers online for salary

#

Canada really depends on where you are like COL varries so much but same with USA I guess and basically everywhere

#

Overall I guess it's kind of tricky to rank, I just assumed this person wanted to know in CAD because they planned on moving back to Canada or smtn

#

I still don't understand why anyone would wanna go to Europe

#

I guess I'm not cultured, I just don't think they have many good franchises that exist in NA

#

A lot of hobbies I enjoy are less available there so that is a no for me and then factor in salary but yeah if ppl are into Europe I guess I can see it

#

Yeah it's all personal preference

Also depends where you're from, if you're from the GTA its probably a lot easier to know about these opportunities.
