Good
-----
1. Leaving Canada

Bad
----
1. Staying in Canada
2. Heat in the summer and cold in the winter
3. No time for friends
4. No time/money to see places
5. Tension in job
6. Never able to visit India
7. Being scolded by Govt. officials in Canada
8. Being scolded at work for the only reason that I was a VM
9. Low salary
10. Being cheated by a SL mechanic
11. Seen by the manager with a lens for the only reason that I am a VM (like sitting at my desk in the morning to see when I came in. This was never done to a native)
12. Realised that canada is the most useless place in the whole wide world (unless you are in Finance, IT or high tech business or a refugee)
13. My tax return got messed up an instead of receiving a refund of $ 2000 got a notice to pay $ 500 (did not keep the documents to file a complaint)
14. Experienced first hand that dealing with Govt. officials in Canada is worse than dealing with govt. officials in India. They donot ask for bribe as well as do nothing which is not in the best interests for them.
15. Frequent repairs in the car
16. Being scolded at Walmart
17. Being scolded by a recruiter
18. Did not win 649
19. Being asked by an employer as to why I came to this freezing land from a nice climate
20. Being scolded by a federal official for not properly terminating my EI claim (no fault of mine but she did not want her dept. to take a blame)
21. As usual being cheated by a north Indian desi businessman (second career)
22.Realised that welfare is not given once you leave canada though you own a cdn. passport and are a Canadian citizen.
23. No work at my last place of employment. Nothing was given and hence an idle mind became a devils workshop
24. being scolded at Pearson airport by a trolly handler
