• Completed 10 years in Canada, we (husband & wife) landed in April, 2005
• We are now a family of 4, had both my kids here (son and daughter)
• Came with $15,000 from Mumbai
• Thought process has changed in these 10 years, life here has made me more matured, and now I look at life from a different prespective than what I used to before landing here. Is it because I am 10 years older……maybe, who knows? :-)
• Been to India practically every year to visit parents and meet other social obligations
• Bought a house in Mississauga (prime location), and a new car
• Lead a disciplined life, worked smart, invested and also saved (yes, it's possible in Canada!!)
• Total net worth about $1 million now
• Became a citizen of Canada, and a OCI
• Acquired some silver hair and baldness :-)
• Overall happy and satisfied
• Won't go back to India permanently. Would be spending winter months in India, and summer in Canada/US

TK's ramblings do have some truth.
Congrats , Gollu and spouse.
Wish you all the very best.
As I have said, IT / Finance is one of the best fields in Canada for banking or you must land with an diploma / arts degree with no skill and no money.
The intermediate people (BE Mech, BE Elec, Msc. Micro biology, MBBS) will get the shaft nicely in Canada.
Anyways once again, all the very best to the OP. Glad that Canada had worked out well for you.

Glad at least someone is happy .
but for most of them i would say take RG's advice : 'Poverty is a state of mind" , same as settling down in Canada , you should think : Happiness is state of mind" -
i read OP comments - he has been visiting India every year - that will give him peace of mind...
so people if you miss your home country lot then keep some budget aside to visit at least once a year then you will not complain about staying here - most people missed their social life back home.
both country has plus/minus - and visiting your home country often will make you satisfied - but everything comes with price so be ready to sacrifice or worked double or smart to handle expenses on both side.
I am lucky enough to visit my home country once or twice a year , me and my family love and enjoy both places.
We are all lucky to have canadian passport ( you can travel most of the worlds without much hassle ) , so take this opportunity to visit world - life changes often so dont worry much about it - just spend some time travelling with family/friends
