Are you a vegetarian,vegan or omnivorous ? Do you (and your family) prefer eating out a lot or not ? Your food expenses can vary a lot depending your dietary preferences.

People of South Asian background usually find it surprising that vegetables cost almost the same as milk and eggs here. A huge difference from what they are were used to with.

hi kk, not sure what city you will be in as that will determine how far your money will go. its a decent salary and you can find affordable housing in toronto (the greater toronto area ie: durham, brampton, scarborough) (use www.viewit.ca); a 2bdrm townhouse in scarborough can run $1,600 to 2,000 per month; and apts from 1,400 to 1,600 again not in the core of the city.

a transit (ttc.ca) pass is 126 for adults/month and 104 for students/month and 0.75/per ride for children; hydro averages 150/2 months on the high side. cable can run up to 100/month (major supplier in toronto is rogers.ca)

hope this helps
