Just as we have successful stories, lets have a category called Unsuccessful stories too (where people returned back to their home countries out of frustration), so that we give our visitors a balanced scenario of Canada, because Canadiandesi (CD), is indeed a like a beacon for potential immigrants.

There are already negatives and frustration floating in and around, so why anybody will want a separate 'unsuccessful story' category in this type of forum.
The prospective immigrant is already in a position of dismay and confusion reading all the views in CD.
Let share the power of positive

DEAR ALL,

ALREADY MAXIMUM OF THE MIGARNTS ARE FACING A TOUGH TIME . SO ONLY SUCCESSFULL STORIES SHOULD BE POSTED SO THAT IT GIVES THEM THE CONFIDENCE & THE MOTIVATION TO SUCCEDD IN THEIR CAREER MOVE IN CANADA.

Posting unsuccessfull stories may not be a bad idea, if the author gives a honest view of why he failed and what mistakes he thinks he made and how he thinks those mistakes can be avoided by future immigrants.

My two (canadian) cents

Why not post unsuccessful stories too ???

Let truth prevail !!!

I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible.
But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.

There are probably 2 main reasons for Canadian desi's existence..and in no order of priority

1) To help immigrants to settle down and prosper in Canada.

2)To make potential immigrants aware of the realities in Canada.

I think the site serves both purposes in its current version. The 'success' stories section was created inorder to give more balance to CD at a time the same were unavailable on cd.

An exclusive 'unsuccessful stories' would only attract people who would do nothing to help purpose # 1 above. Infact, you can expect a lot more of Ikea left-over scavenging type ideas in those posts, due to the very nature of the circumstances those people may find themselves in mentally.

How about a third reason --- to remind Indians residing in Canada why they left India in the first place and to count their blessings in Canada?

No, I'm not proposing an India-bashing thread. It is just that, while going through several posts and articles in this forum and other forums too, and talking to friends who're settled in other countries or even have shifted to another city within India, I've found that many of us (including myself) find what we've left behind to be much more attractive than what we have.

The rosiness of the past pictures seem to be directly proportional to the number of years that have elapsed. There seem to be many Indians abroad who are missing India terribly.

My question is to those who find themselves in this situation -- if there is a thread updating you on the frustrating and unnecessary obstacles a common man faces on a daily basis in India, will it help in easing your anguish of being away from India, at least slightly?
