Everyone seems to mention of places one can visit as a citizen of a country (India/Canada)


but what about $

is earning/saving potential more in CA or India is the big question.

also all visa seem to be for holidays/vacation what about whether one can work without a work visa....

I have a family friend in India from Bihar. His niece married a south Indian guy. When they visited my place, we were discussing in general about working abroad. Both of them then were working with Infosys. They told me that the WORLD IS OPEN to them. They would prefer to be Indian citizen but work abroad anywhere they wish. (This was 7 years back). I learnt that soon after that they went to Germany and worked there for 2 years. They came back to India then after. After couple of years, again they accepted assignment in USA for couple of years. Presently, they are in U.K. working for TCS.

I guess this is the best way rather than working as laborer / clerk in Canada and taking pride that the world is open to us. As some one has rightly pointed out, that the world might be open, but where is money or vacation to enjoy it? However, I do recognize that it is not possible for every body to be employed in top software company in India and get assigned to foreign country of choosing, but then that would be the right way to take pride rather than being smug about Canadian citizenship.

You just hit the nail on its head and answered your own question. What is pride to one may well not be pride to another. Very subjective topic. :)
