DIO,
you are not realising the Basics. if we (the parents) are not well settled in Canada then what is the use of talking about raising the children?. First we have to be well settled in Canada and then we can talk about raising the children in a good way.
What i have thougt (only my thought) is to send my daughter back to india when she is about 9 and bring her abroad (not necessarily Canada) only when she is 18 or 22 + (when she finished a graduate degree in india). By this time she would have the ability to think logically and be sucessful.
And note that NRI's can get admission very very easily into IIT's, REC's under the NRI quota than the citizens. The fees will be more but the risk is worth it.
As Jesus said " if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into the ditch"- i mean that first take care that you are well settled in canada, have peace of mind etc... and then take care of the child. if you think now that children's needs are to be first met with you lanushing in some labour job then both of you will not have peace of mind nor be ever settled in life.

Canada does not need any more people or a population growth since all jobs are moving to China and India.

Interesting articles.

The Population in Canada is nearly stagnant or is very very slow in terms of growth.

refer to the following table of population statistics

http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/demo02.htm?sdi=population

There seems to be a huge "Population Turnover" in Canada.
That means People are coming as migrants, getting citizenship and then they are leaving the country as well for x,y,z ..... reasons.

The effect of this is stagnant population.

Your thoughts ??

We only talk abt ourselves, our jobs, our struggle, etc. How many of us have thought abt our children when they grow up? Are we sure/certain that the conditions such as economy, healthcare, jobs, would be the same or better in 20 yrs? We are only concerned abt our social life, partying, etc. Have we ever thought if our kids get married and have a stable life? Seen too many old timers where their children have a torrid time. They cant identify themselves neither with desis nor with locals. They are torn in between, confused (CBCDs). End up marrying a white and the desi parents are grumbling abt this and feel insecure since they dont know if the marriage will last just like theirs. Just teaching music and dance does not mean that they have Indian values.

BTW, still watching old timers flashing the citizenship of their kids to get them married (importing SILs and DILS from India)

Morning rain,
Canada is slowly losing its job strength and i bet that canada would be suffering 20 years along the line.
Do you think that i can give happiness to my daughter by working 7 days a week and 6 months cold every year ?
My idea is to give her govt. benefits till 10 years of age and send her to be in india where the atmoshphere is so relaxing and free. She will have grand parents, relatives etc.. I can go and see her for 2 weeks every year and she can come to canada 2 months every year (vacation). I am sure that she will love india when compared to Canada.
I want to bring her up in Indian Values ( call me an old timer, spoil sport- i donot care), meaning No dating, No drugs, No over mingling with Boys, No cellphone etc... And besides, Canada would be the last place that i would prefer her to comeafter 22 years. She will go either to UK, USA , Europe etc..

Sidenote : What i had meant by logical thinking was that at 22 she will have the maturity to choose wisely. At 18 i was given the free hand to choose and i choosed : no drugs, no dating, no smokes, no alchohal, share trading etc...

side note 2 : The only reason taht i have left my wife and daughter in india till may is that they should not suffer canadian cold and for proper medical care. This nation is horrible with cold 6 months a year and very very poor medical facilities.

Side note 3 : The problem with second gen. canadians is that they canot think outside Canadian or American borders. (later addition : Or should i reword it as since we know the working of both the countries and we have been there and experiences things personally ,we know what will be the best for our children given our circumstances -India or Canada.)
