Wow, reading through this certainly intimidates me. All these engineers, Bachelor's, Master's, PhD's...
Spousal Sponsorship applicant May '16, no PR as of yet.
I'm currently working for a big company in Germany in the Supply Chain department, more specific: organizing import (purchasing, inventory control, customs documentation) and export (shipping parts by sea and air, creating documentation) around the world.
I do not have a Bachelor's or Master's degree, but I do have a German apprenticeship that I finished in early 2010. The certificate in English says "Office Manager", but I would translate it more like "Administrative Clerk". After that I've had about 4-5 years of administrative work experience, 2.5 of which in my current job.
After randomly looking through job ads I've found in the Vancouver area in the administrative field, I'm a little disappointed to be finding a lot of jobs that only pay around 14 CAD/hr. How are you expected to live off of that especially in Vancouver?
Does anyone know approx. what salary & paid vacation & benefits I should or could be expecting considering my qualification?
Thank you in advance for any insights.
