A thought on the tax added at the till and why the displayed price does not include the tax. I think you had a good thought in that each company can display their price of the item which can help people make purchasing decisions. As the taxes vary from province to province the final price will be different depending on which province you are in. Many provinces in Canada have a provincial sales tax, PST, and then there is the federal sales tax, GST and these are added together to get the final price for the item you are purchasing, if it is something that is taxable. Now, Alberta has no provincial sales tax at this time so only the GST is charged in that province.
Here in Ontario we have the HST which is 13% I think. HST is the GST & PST combined so if a pair of pants is 29.99 on the tag at checkout that 13% is added to your bill. When the GST came out it was and still is very unpopular even funerals are subject to GST so they get you coming and going. We Canadian's can thank Mr. Wilson and Mulroney for this tax. No federal government will ever scrap the GST it is a cash cow for them.
Ahhh, the sun setting late is so special, Cape Town has that as well in summer. I cannot wait for that experience 😍😍😍 Thank you Busi, this is super helpful 💖
If you go to northern Canada in the summer the sun is up almost 24 hours. In the winter it is the opposite, almost 24 hours darkness. It is because of the location. You should research this. Also it is becoming more expensive to build houses. If you want a brick, cement or other type of house you will have to research that also. Different provinces and territories have different sales taxes. In Alberta we pay GST but we do not have to pay PST.
Two weeks after one year employment is the law and that is all they have to ever give you. The company I work for gives me 5 weeks paid holidays but that is because I am in a union and it is our collective agreement. Next year goes to 6 weeks till I retire in 6 years. Mind you I am in Ontario it could be different in other Provinces of Canada. Now that being said it depends on the company you work for they may give you more holidays as your time with them increase my friend gets 4 weeks and he has been there for 15 yrs. But the law in Ontario states Two Weeks is all employers legally have give you.
Businesses post the price without the tax because of game theory. They actually have the option to post prices with or without tax, as long as it's made clear to the consumer. Even though it makes more sense to post the price with tax to the thoughtful, the prices of the businesses not including tax would always appear to be lower. No one would take the chance that the thoughtful might be the majority.
You probably already been told this but the majority of a house price here is property value. You mentioned Oakville many years ago it had the highest income per capita for Ontario mainly because of the Ford plant. Now I think it's Nepean (near Ottawa). Also Ontario has one of the worst vacation allotments in Canada. I think by law a company needs to only give you two weeks even if you are there 20 years. Thankfully not a lot of companies follow that law. This is why we have unions to negotiate for us. The lack of wood in houses in S.Africa is that because of termites or exteme weather? Here in Ontario we really don't have either. Our last hurricane was in 1954 although we are in tornado alley. The two lakes affect our weather a lot especially in the winter if they don't freeze over. By the way welcome to Canada hope you enjoy life here.
@Busi..please advise on the availability of jobs like financial administration, admin vacancies and HR. Like if a South African with experience in a bank can apply for a job in a Canadian bank?
It’s around 3 months where I am in Ontario. It’s definitely not cold year round but the Autumn and Spring season here can feel like a mild South African winter period, it’s not the same as Autumn and Spring in SA. When you’ve acclimatized to the weather here, you’ll find Autumn and Spring are not cold, just cool but I know it’s temperatures I would have considered as winter while living in SA.
@@busi.global thank you for your answer, so are you not depressed with the cold? And also I will like to know regarding the school, system is different here in south Africa and in Canada how did your kids integrated the school knowing for example here in south Africa school started in Jan and close in December? And also regarding the grade in primary and high school what are the equivalent?
After 8 years working in the Middle East in Oil & Gas, and Nuclear, I’m considering looking into Canada. I was hoping to go back to SA after almost 10 years abroad but things are getting frustratingly worse in SA and I’m skeptical about going back right now.

Hi Just so you know, Canadians voted that they wanted the tax on the bill separate from the price. They wanted to know the taxes federally & provincially! I guess it’s transparency
Good day busi...my family and I are planning on Immigrating soon to canada..on our own rather than with an agency...but we rather stuck or confused with the whole process and as what to do first to start the process..please can you share some advice
Hi Michael, you can watch this video first to help you figure out which programs you are eligible for and what their requirements are: ruclips.net/video/vKpm7GJAKMM/видео.html
Busi i know this is kind of a personal question and I'm sorry..I just wanted to know..how much did the whole process cost like a round figure.i also have two kids that will come along.
@@michaeljacobs4199 the costs have changed drastically since we moved e.g. IELTS cost was around R2500 when we completed it but now it’s over R4000 (a lot of other costs in the process have gone up over the years). I’ll make a video to share what to calculate for the cost of the process so it’s easy to refresh it year by year.
Hello Busi. I hope you are good. Thank you for this content, atleast I can now prepare myself for the unusual..... I like the inclusion of the funny clips u added😂😂 I'm surprised by the sunset time, yoh, I guess it's a gud thing (what time do businesses close on a normal day? Do they take advantage of the late setting of the sun)
Hi Norman, I’m glad you liked the little clips I added 😂 I was laughing by myself editing this video and it literally captures what goes on in my head sometimes when I think of some things. Businesses close normal time around 4 or 5 depending on the company. I’m yet to get used to the sun that sets so late, I’m constantly going to bed after midnight 😓 which can make me feel so tired on days I still have to wake up early.
@@busi.global yeah they r so funny indeed...... With a lot of things I hav on my plate ryt now I think I would gladly appreciate the late sun sets 😂😂 The tax exclusive price tags is an interesting one😂😂😂 I guess people there are gud mathematicians and accountants
@@pastorchriscesa 😂 ahy, you just make a rough estimate in your head hey 😩 I’ll honestly never get why they don’t just add the tax on item prices because we HAVE to pay it, it’s not optional.
@@busi.global hi sis Busi, thank you so much for this valuable pointers, the exclusive tax on the prices of items doesn't make sense for me too. I can't start to imagine a good reason why they do because it already sounds like a huge inconvenience for me coming from South Africa, but as you advise that it's only a matter of adapting I mean it's all that is. Thank you again.
Hi Busi, I hear a lot about the “Canadian work experience” being an obstacle for new immigrants seeking professional work. But after watching the video you and Thami made , it seems that was not a problem for you guys. Am I correct ?
Hi Chris, yes that’s correct, we didn’t have a problem finding work in the same industry we worked in before moving to Canada. You might have to start off in a role a bit lower than what you had in your home country then look for something else when you have a few months of Canadian work experience but that’s not always the case for everyone, you could just start off in a similar position or higher, people’s experiences are very different.
@@busi.global happy to hear that , I guess those that end up as cleaners etc... are probably from professions were the demand is low. I have got Btech in electrical engineering from DUT in Durban , hence your video with Thami gave me a lot of hope . Thank you
'like a heater'😂 So you get Musina and Durban weather in a day. Interesting. I a from Limpopo but I still am not used to the hotness. Shuuu Thanks Busi for the Heads-up Always delivering great content
Ontario heat can be something else hey 😩 I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it. It’s really “hot like a heator” 😂 You’re welcome 💙 I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

The tax isn't added to the displayed price because the government didn't want people to think they were trying to hide it from them.
The sun rise and set times is similar to Cape Town in summer. I visited Ottawa for a week, I was surprised by the last point, value added tax🤣
Ahhh, the sun setting late is so special, Cape Town has that as well in summer. I cannot wait for that experience 😍😍😍

Hi Busi, good to know about the two week vacation never knew that something to keep in mind.
Most definitely, you’re welcome Zebulon.
You're in Oakville, the houses could be made of wood, glass, plastic or whatever, the price is due to the land not the building materials.
You know what they say about real estate, the three most important things are location, location, location.

Hey. What I wanna is how are the data prices and how good is the internet connectivity that side
Connectivity is good this side, you can check out prices from on or the providers like Bell, here’s a link: www.bell.ca/Mobility/Cell_phone_plans/Unlimited-plans
In cities it's good but a bit pricy. In rural locations it's hit or miss. Sometimes it's terrible and expensive and sometimes it's fine.
Great video! It's good to know
