30+ lpa in india vs 100k CAD in canada: need advice

Help

Hey everyone, I need your advice.

I have six years of experience in Java full stack and earn 23 lpa. I was planning to switch to a higher salary of around 30 lpa and got an opportunity for an intra-company transfer to Canada. The client requested this transfer and offered me 100k, but I felt it was less and asked for 150k. I don’t have any knowledge of the Canadian market and I asked for that number for no particular reason. Since the client was very particular about moving me to Canada, I thought they might actually agree to it.

Now, my question is: is it really worth moving to Canada? Will I be able to live comfortably there? What should be the minimum package I should agree to have better savings than here? In India, my total expenses are 40-50k per month and I currently save 1 lakh per month. Will I be able to save more than what I can save with 30+ lpa if I move to Canada?
