$8/hour. and not easy, sometimes, tired. That only enough for one, not for family. You can't afford apartment if your wife don' t work. I think change a job, at most change a city. As picture process, I think should get some kind of good salary job in china. It's much easier than find related here. If you can't find in china, forget about it in canada. As you mention, you are not strong in personal relation. I guess the communication is also not strong. How could you expect the employer hire you in this case?
