- 1.0Nov 29, 2023Postdoctoral FellowCurrent Employee, more than 5 yearsToronto, ON
Pros
Toronto is a big multicultural city. University has a name.
Cons
Payment is very low. Toronto is very expensive. 50k/year is lower than average here. Rent is very expensive and hard to find even. University is very cheap. They don't cover moving, don't cover your visa applications, don't even help with that. Immigration services are very slow in Canada. You always have to renew your Work Permit and Visa (separately). If you get Scholarship - most of the money go to the lab budget and University, it doesn't really increase your salary. The Postdoc is restricted by 5 years term, then you can became a Research Associate if your PI likes you. Also, most of the PIs are white bold caucasian men. Very few women or minorities.
