Question for Canadians working for a Korean Co.
I am possibly interested in working for one of the Korean airlines. However, my wife and daughter will not be joining me there. I know that my quoted monthly salary includes Korean taxes already taken out. My question is how much tax would the Canadian Gov't take from me on top of what the Korean Gov't already has? Does anyone have any idea the % taken? Would really appreciate some help here.....

What I would like to know is what is the actual commuting schedule like. More or less than the 20 on, 9 off; can you have more days at home per month? How does it actually work out in the end?

Most countries have some sort of tax treaty to prevent being double taxed.
I heard that at one time Canada and Korea provided a tax free exemption for pilots. I have also heard that the exemption is no longer valid, and that a Canadian pilot working in Korea must now pay Canadian tax if he deemed to be a resident of Canada.
Does anyone here have the full story?

Obviously leaving my family behind is not the best situation in the world. The company I worked for in Canada (Zoom Airlines) just folded without any notice or indication that anything was wrong. I want to keep my house and pay the bills. There is little or no work here in Canada for a bunch of pilots that are dumped into an already hurting industry. Short term pain, long term gain. I'm trying to stay positive. Emirates has slowed hiring and even if I did get on there they suggest not bringing the family until you move from temp housing to permanent which could take up to nine months.

Why don't you take your family with you and work there if you get the job
You could send your daughter to the foreign school where everything get
taught in English and your wife could get a job as English teacher. There
are about half millions legal foreinger living in korea and they have thier
own community at certain city. Surely, your family could be homesick or
culture shocked initially but who knows they would like it in the end.
