Very well said delhite, this above story is so true. Everybody wants a good life but are so selfish and insecure that they dont want to give new comers an opportunity. My only advice to the confused Op is that give life a chance and take a risk. The world is full of struggles where in india or any other country. It is ultimately one's hardwork, grace of god and a little bit of luck. Wishing op good luck

Now things are changing very fast in India, it might not be worth immigrating to Canada.
Twenty years back, India was different & there were several benefits of immigration, but now its seems the benefits are narrowed.
Its better to think twice before entering a one way street..

Advice is free – lessons I charge for!!

Life after reaching the goal or achieving success in life?

Should we not thank for a minute daily whomever we believe, God or Mother Nature or whatever.

If we do that we may be able to appreciate the good things that carry us and be able to differentiate from the burden we shoulder.

Like having our workplace right opposite to our residence whereas most Mumbaikars spend half their lifetime on suburban trains, a successful business handed over on a golden tray by the parent where people lose all their hard earned money on a wrong venture.

I am a Gents and not a Ladies.

Hi All,

I have returned back to India to see if I can settle here after staying in Canada for few years. I will be evaluating my decision along the way every 6 months till 3 years, beyond which I would have expired my PR and reached point of no return to Canada.

Will keep you updated how my move materializes, the going so far (keep in mind I am in Chandigarh):

a) Corruption, I have not encountered any corruption issues in last 3 months. In this time, I have renewed my driving licence, renewed my car registration and going to renew my kids passports. Another thing I found was for both the things the process had been streamlined a lot. The only negative is that the application form was the old one and I had to pay 300/- for both to be filled.

b) Power/Water, Not experienced major power/water cuts even though there was little monsoon in north. One thing to be noted water comes morning and evening 3 hrs, I don't mind as I store it in tanks for continuous supply. Power rates seem have been increased.

c) Traffic, its increased but frankly I adjusted very well to the traffic I would say better than Canada. Probably because I had more years of experience, one thing to be noted for first couple of weeks I did not drive.

d) Work, I left a very well paying job in Canada (90K+) but have not landed any work yet. My focus is to get freelancing work in IT and make 20L in India, let us see how it goes.

e) Hobby, I am back to my spending time on my hobbies, I jog daily for 1 hr early in the morning at 5:30 am and working on getting organic kitchen garden on my terrace mostly for leafy veggies.

f) Being a vegetarian, though I was in Calgary for some time but definitely India has more options. I get the produce from farmers market, which though crowded and not clean by Canadian standards still has its own charm for me. I enjoy my weekly outing to farmer's market, the produce I get I soak in water and ozonise it to reduce pesticide content. I guess this should bring the produce to the Canadian standards.

g) Socializing, there is more in India but frankly I never had a problem in Canada either. Outside office I had made few Indian and Caucasian friends. One change I find is that people call you before coming to your place and atleast my friend circle understands that you need time for family as well on weekends.

h) Education, it is more rigorous here in India. I would say the TLC in Alberta is comparable as per the syllabus.

i) Extra Curricular, my kids learn painting , music and sculpturing all at home. This is unbeatable, as Canada does not give this luxury.

j) I find kids here are more social and as a parent I feel I have better control over the decisions. Even in schools there are PTM and the issues are getting addressed, the best part of schooling I like is the uniforms. There is no undue competition for clothing.

Will keep you updated as I go along.
