I prefer feedbacks from people living there.

Sites such as numbeo or the many others will give you a ball park figure. Have to checked out the posts here for information.

Winnipeg: Are 2500 CAD/month enough to live, rent an apartment and maybe saving a bit every month? Thanks

For a family of four or a single individual?

just myself, but I look for a flat/apartment, not a room in a shared house. 2500 CAD will be gross (not net)  by the way. Would that be enough to live decently?

Disclaimer: I work and live in Toronto, Canada. However, I have close friends from Winnipeg and have visited there several times.

Living in Winnipeg on a gross $2,500 monthly budget is tight but possible. Note the median gross income for individuals in Winnipeg is $35,000 to $45,000 range.  Source: Global News, September 2016

Your biggest expense will be rent. You can find a decent 1 bedroom apartment in Osborne Village for $850 to $995 per month. You can find cheaper in less desireable neighbourhoods such as East and West Norwood and more expensive in a premium neighbourhood such as Crescentwood. You will probably use Winnipeg public transit (mixed reviews) as car ownership can be costly. Excluding rent, living costs in Winnipeg are about 10% lower than Toronto.

Thanks! Do you know how much would be 2500 gross CAD into net?

This should be considered an absolute bare minimum budget.

Expenses not accounted for include entertainment/social, clothing, education, travel/leisure, and savings.
