It will be barely enough, you will live in a low living condition, but will be OK. Bring as much money as you can.
As far as I know, you need to stay here for 3 months before you can get bursary from government. Therefore, better to get here before the end of May if you want to enroll in September to study. Your child might need to be in daycare ($7 a day, actually quite cheap, but not easy to find a suitable one, you have to line up). . g% d6 v3 X0 [3 {Good Luck
Catherine's reply might be more accurate as I am not an immigration. I am working under Work Permit at Montreal now. As you are a 'single mom', therefore, I am trying to help you. My answer is truely based on what I heard. I am deeply impressed by the difficulties the new immigration faces. But Canada is a place you needn't worry about living (a welfare society), but also no way to be rich due to its high tax (About 30% of my salary go to tax now).
Hi, I am a single mom also. You can get child benefit about one month after you applied. But loan and bursary need to wait for 3 months (if you haven't live in other province more than 3 months). 4 s$ U4 `5 Y- _' p- J8 q( X + S# X w5 p* F* k2 E9 wI would be happy if I can be of any help.
