US$110,000 +US$27,000 yearly bonus is offered for a job in an Engineering Co. in Vancouver.?

Is this enough for a family of 5 (with 3 young kids)? First issue is that the family needs to move from Dubai, UAE after the immigration papers are completed. The company by the way is issuing the work guarantee and sponsorship to the head of the family for his Canadian Immigration Application.

2nd issue is that Dubai, UAE is a tax-free City (meaning no income tax, no VAT, no state tax, no federal tax, health insurance for the family is covered by the employer, etc)

By the way, the family is originally from the Philippines where the husband is an Engineer and wife is a Physical Therapist.

    It's a reasonable middle class salary. I guess it would depend on your expectations. I can't compare it to Dubai, because I have no idea how much you are making there.

    Aside from the financial aspect, consider the fringe benefits such as health, education, social aspect such as freedom to be as you please, environment - Canada is touted as one of the best places to live, political - you may gain the right to vote, etc.
