Working for the welfare of the society is undoubtedly a rewarding deed! Remember, to get indulged in social work needs a lot of patience and good will, and of course a selflessness nature. With lot of NGOs sprouting around us, the scope and opportunities for social workers are also getting bigger and better. An individual who is doing so much for his/her fellowmen, they have all the right to be paid good. But, unfortunately, this is not the case with everyone and in every country.

In a country like India, the scope and salary given to social workers are limited and too less respectively. One should keep one thing in mind that social work is acknowledged and appreciated across the world. This is why one can always consider immigration as part of their future plans in order to pursue his/her career as a social worker. After all, if you have the desire to work in favor of the mankind, then you should not bother about the geographical locations.

A country like Canada holds a great deal of opportunities for social workers. With overwhelming salary packages, the North American country is a paradise for individuals who intend to build a career in social work. Let’s look at the average salary structure of social workers working in Canada and just have a rough idea:
