Hi Mike,

the package as a number is a good number considering it is a tax free salary. but when u come to reality it is a combined package and it has some draw backs especially since u have children that will be attending daycare/school.
mu suggestion is to get a basic salary of 30-35 k plus accomodation+car(or car allowance of at least 2500QR to get a descent car)+schooling+roundtrip tickets for u and ur families to place of origin.a piece of advice get everything in writing before making any steps.
the above is the ideal offer to leave Canada, as u have to bear in mind the heat factor around here which believe me is like walking in Hell.best of luck!!

by the way i am from Vancouver, BC where are u from?
