Yes, I agree with TK here. If you're financially sound then do not immigrate to Canada. Only do, if you want to waste a prescious years of your life.

Read up the requirements for immigration. Check out to see if your profession / occupation is eligible via any of the number of immigration paths.

In short, securing a career in Canada is quite challenging, to put it mildly. You'd have to weigh between good career / negative environment in India vs. challenge to obtain jobs / positive environment in Canada.

My fiancé is a MBA from Mumbai and has a job in a reputed company as marketing manager in India, so if I get married before I leave India will she get a dependent visa?

Yes, your fiancé can get a dependent visa. Canada welcomes gay couples.

Just focus on your subject. Corruption is every where in the world. And Indian population is 1250 million approximately. In Canada it is just 33 million. About 40 times, Indian popultaion is more than Canadian and in fact, right now, one or two issues do rock in Canada also in corruption.

Just focus on your requirement.

Of course Indian Economy is growing, faster than Canada.Just for your info.

Best wishes.

Can she work full time? Considering her qualification and experience what kind of job will she get?
What visas can our parents apply in case they will visit us?

Thanks

I could not add anything more to what all of the posters have written here. I can only say that you are the ONLY son and the Parents will miss you a whole lot if you desert the current post and the help that you are providing them with your restaurant business. May be your Parents are very understanding and can put up with your absence and the next time for even a longer period.

Having some qualifications in the hospitality industry might place you in a better position and with your experience, might get you in, when ever the NOC number calls for more immigrant applications again.

If you are not used to handling meats and tasting of the dishes that are prepared for consumption, then the field gets narrowed down to Vegetarian group. I am sure you are well versed with its preparation and the variety of dishes that the market demands and calls for. And if you also have hands on experience with cooking at your place, not supervising, then there are plenty of jobs that crop up here from time to time and if you are here in Canada, you can personally go to those locations that are looking for people who can cook their requirements. That comes later.

With the current ONE Year diploma and One year of experience for applying for Immigration after your studies will surely get you into Canada. But it will be a costly affair. I do not see the quantum of funds that it calls for from the first post of yours. Your asking if it is worth the risk does not enter the picture, since you will not be able to get in, due to lack of funds.

Your Fiance stands a better chance of getting entry on her own merits, if she wants to get in with her experience. But you will have to check and see if there are jobs that are open in her qualification. Take a look at all of the NOC's. You may have to tie the golden knot if you want to take a ride on her coat tails. First she will have to be in an NOC Category. Then it has to be announced that they are looking for people in that particular NOC Group. So, it is wait and watch game. Be prepared for that.

We do not know all of your educational background.

This was when there was a demand for the cooks and chefs. :

Code for the cooks has changed, here is the new code :

Cooks – NOC Code 6322es
If you are interested in working as a Cook in Canada, you will be pleased to know that the job outlook for your occupation in Canada is extremely positive. You can use this overview of the Canadian employment prospects in your field to start planning your immigration and settlement in Canada.

Cooks are on the list of 29 eligible occupations under the Federal Skilled Worker program. A maximum of 500 applications will be accepted for processing in each of the 29 occupations, with an overall cap of 10,000 applications.

To view current number of applications received toward the cap, click here. Please see the links.

Effective today, this new category of trade occupations, or “Skilled Trades”, is eligible to apply for a permanent resident visa to Canada. To clarify, a skilled trade refers to what Canadian HR managers call “NOC B occupations” and consists of mostly “blue worker jobs” such as welders, electricians and carpenters.

While very similar, the FSTP is not to be confused with the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). The FSTP is an employer-centric stream dedicated to trade professions, not a point-based visa category where an applicant can independently petition his own visa.

The advent of the FSTP brings the total of skilled worker programs that are managed by the federal government to five programs. Each is dedicated to bringing qualified workers from around the world permanently to Canada. The remaining four include the regular Federal Skilled Worker Program (which has been postponed until May 2013), the arranged employment program (FSW2), the Ph.D. program, and the Canada Experience Class (CEC) program.

In 2012 they needed a few trades people in the following category. You can always use the NOC Codes provided to see if you have the skills that they are looking for.

And they might become open once again. You have time to prepare for your IELTS and any other skills that you might want to upgrade.

You also know what is involved in running a restaurant and what it is in running a "HOTEL". They are entirely two different birds of different species and the experience that you have needs to be evaluated, prior to applying to immigrate. For this you will have to do a thorough study of the NOC Classifications that they post in their publications.

So, take your time and delve a little deeper into it, prior to posting the next query here.

This is my take on your post asking for help. It is a fair evaluation based on the facts presented here. Also you will get to know a little bit of what the procedure is and how to go about it.

Until such time enjoy your current life style.

Thanks
