hi everyone..as i have said i'm very new to this planet from singapore.i don't know if i had chosen the right place for me.way back 3yrs before, i was in my home planet (the philippines),i'm helping the father of my kids running our printing business but because digital prints invaded the world of printing, the manual and offset, had been weaken its strength so i decided to try my luck abroad..luckily, one of my dear cousin try to help me to get a job in canada as a domestic helper which offers higher income so she adviced me to have atleast a DH experience in singapore, so i worked as a caregiver to a special child,and finished a 2yr contract with the family, but my application for my visa to canada still on process coz the waiting is quite long(15-18 months upon the submission of my application) so i found another employer(who brought me here), as my UK visa was approved(which took only a week), i received also my appointment for interview from the Canadian Embassy but because my boss done a lot for me to get here i considered his effort and decided to come here.The thing is when i'm here he offered me twice my salary in singapore which is only 1/3 of my salary offered in canada..since i don't have any idea of how much is the minimum wage for a DH here in UK, can anybody give me advice,please????????i'm bit disappointed but because he is good to me then that's only my consolation.Did i make a big mistake choosing to come here than going to Canada???i'm just bit lost...:Erm::NoNo::doh
