#C27564 26F I am absolutely happy with my decision of leaving my 16lpa job. I feel blessed my husband has canadian citizenship. He Received it after 5 years of residence 2 years ago. He is around 35 years age.He was unemployed since last 8 months yet both of us did not feel depressed or panicked at all. I felt extremely happy like an extended vacation. He is starting a new job in July 1st week. I felt more happy unemployed here than I was with 16lpa salary in India. He got 3k/month in unemployment and 1.5k/month in childcare benefits for twin kids and net 4.2k month due to tax witholding. I got PR only last month due to processing delay when I came back 2 years and now found a job at grocery store paying 2k/month 15 days back. Rent here is just 2k/month and groceries cost no more than 1k/month for 4 of us. Utility Bills don't cost more than 200/month. We went on trips to carribean, niagra falls, and also a full road tour of 2 weeks of usa with kids all combined under budget of 10k cad with unemployment money and have some instagrammable memories ;). I am still bit cranky and recovering from birth and kids stress but I am absolutely happy with my decision of leaving 16lpa job in india. When my father was fired from private job, he was not given anything and 15 months we had to exhaust our savings, imagining the situation brings tears to me everytime because he cried everyday during that time. Our in laws looked after kids when we went to carribean for fun couple trip 😁 in ⛱️ for one week and are helping look after kids now. They came 2 months back. Husband said don't worry about job now until I become fully energetic to work for 8 hours, but I am ambitious and preparing. My opinion is the life here is extremely good if you are a citizen/PR.He is now getting a 100k job which puts us comfortably rich.
