Q: We are considering emigrating and are a family of 5. Would 75,000 CAD be OK to live on comfortably?

A: oh ya, rent is a little high here but that will get you by fine, the average resident in Calgary makes about 50 000 a year, one thing is tho thats will get you buy if your renting only, if you plan on buying you wont be able to buy a house for less that 200 000, this is a very prosperous city, runts going p, gas is high priced and well peoples houses property value has doubled in the last year.
