Our minimum wage for a full time employee for our province is $9.5 Canadian dollars per hour(probably around 71 HK dollars).  So as long as you are full time employed, the employer will needs to pay you $9.5 per hour (even you are just working in McDonalds).3 e( Q  K; X1 Y# R" v8 q! Q

Little bit of my own experience, when I first graduated a few years ago (before the economic crisis), my parents and relatives always ask me to go back to HK to find a job.

Honestly even right now, it would be easier for a person to find a job and get better pay in Canada or even US than in HK.
