If you leave your place only for the money...
As it's been said many time before, money conversion does not show the real money you have left in your hand at the end of the month. 100,000 CDN a year is really the bottom you can expect to make. I use to work in a grade 3 tower and made more than that. I'd say the average IFR controller make more around 150,000 per annum. Having said so, you have to consider the cost of living. The average price of a 3 bdrms house within 45 mn from the ACC (Montreal) is around 300,000 CDN, considerably more in Toronto or Vancouver, I'd say less in Moncton or Gander (but who's interrested in that place anyways
). Gas is up to 1.45 CDN those days. And on top of that, after taxes, union, pension plan, and all social cost you'll have around 55 % of your gross salary left in your pocket which is around 82,000 clean a year...
