One of my good friends who had a fairly decent job of $23 per hour is going back to India. He was a Canadian Citizen but when I asked him the reason of going back he smiled and said that money is not everything. you need to have a life and that life is in India not Canada. \"Life is short so live your life.\" he told me that he had seen enough of Canada and now is going back to his parents, brothers and sisters. he is just 34 now. I was stunned by his decision that how can one kick such a good job and go back but now i think he is right. you can earn a living here but not life what do u think guys???????????
After staying here for more than 3 years and got Canadian Passport, he is leaving for India?
He may try to take advantage of some Social security and Old age pension plans later!

Mydear Suba,
Why think -ve...why not positive like..just had trump card in his pocket ..but he wants to live now...dont want to live for 60yrs...

Even i was trying this for somany years....but could not adopt completely...
I wish him all the best and hope he will get there what he is missing.

I think his way of doing is right.India is progressing well.We came here for purpose of business of earning money that is b2b.You have examples of Gandhiji,Nehruji,even till Ambanis who came out of India and went back.Many many came to Canada and went back.It depend on factors like age,thinking,culture.I know many who went back.So,no big wonder.

To earn social security you are eligible if you have stayed in Canada for 10 years and still present in Canada
If you are away from Canada, to earn social security, then your stay should be for atleast for 20 years.
I do not think that could be the reason
This is third case I am hearing in last ten days. Other one went for same reason as this guy and one who lives close to me left because he got good offer from India. He was here for five months only and leaving today (Dec 9) by Jet Airways with his family.
Happy to hear and good for him. God bless him!
Earning $23 or $32 per hour is irrelevant. Having a life is more important. Looking for weekend parties / lunch / dinner is the life people want? C’mon. I am saying this based on what I have observed here. Anyways, it’s an individual decision. People need to realize/understand what they want in life, not to be influenced by others. And above all, it needs guts, sacrifice, letting it go, to make a decision to go back.

Yes , Canada is not for everybody. Some people like it and some dont. Some people had best jobs in India and in Canada worst jobs and struggling, but just dont want go back. With what face they can go back is their thinking. We desis think what others will think. Our life is focused on what others think (In India). When are we going stop thinking what other might say?? It your life and not others. Do the best what you want and love to do.
