My current work term pay is around 65k/yr. The tax is way too high. I think I have to pay around 30% tax overall.(There is no exception for foreigners) For your question, if someone gets 90k/yr, all part over 80k will be taxed as high as 44% in Ontario. So the final net amount of salary should be only 70k/yr. You can ask for tax refund in next year april, but not much compared with what you have paid.
I have already rejected the job offer from Manulife and I am thinking to seek some other companies rather than insurance companies. Or I will try to work in P/C rather than Life insurance. I think the compensation offered by Manulife is pretty good, but it is just kind of boring. I may go for a higher master degree if I can't find a satisfied job. Anyway, I got a professor who is willing to write a reference letter for me. I think my problem is still GRE, which is so damn hard.
I heard that US insurance companies lowered their compensation for actuaries those years. But it seems your internship payment is much better than mine.
