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).+ R9 t" R' B( z' [" I. w4 n' b

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.
