For renting, it depends what city where you are moving.

I haven't landed in Canada yet, but I did try to search online for some rough estimates. The two websites I referred were Numbeo and Expatistan. For a couple without children, probably CAD 3,000 to CAD 4,000 a month for comfortable living including house rent, internet, transportation, groceries, eating out, some entertainment.

With children, it's going to cost additional for school fees and some other things (that I admit I don't know because I haven't researched those in detail; I don't have any children yet and don't plan on having any in the next few years).

That seems low for rent (and utilities if required) and childcare although depends where you live and whether you need full-time childcare.

I don't live in the greater Toronto area. And I don't need full time child care.
