Cost of Living in Canada
Living in a foreign country requires that you budget your finances especially in terms of your food consumption. Spending food in Canada won’t hurt your budget that much as it may come in reasonable prices. You should be able to get by well with a weekly balanced diet that would involve a dozen eggs, some fresh white bread, banana, beef, some milk, and a daily dose of your cup of coffee that will require around USD 250 allowance weekly. Should you crave your favorite McDonald’s meal, don’t worry because a combo meal will only cost you around USD 7.
